  No relation to the 1992 Clint Eastwood film of almost the same name, 1959's The Unforgiven is based--like John Ford's The Searchers--on a novel by Alan LeMay. Again the story focuses on a frontier family divided by racism. But instead of the complex, endlessly resonant demonology of the Ford picture, here John Huston aims for a pat, civil-rights-era allegory of loving solidarity triumphing over societal prejudice--and, to be sure, some noble but dangerous Kiowas. Burt Lancaster and Audrey Hepburn costar as, respectively, the eldest son of a ranching family and the beloved sister who's not his sister at all, but an Indian. However, the film's dark heart belongs to Joseph Wiseman as an avenging ghost who materialises out of the wind and Lillian Gish as the matriarch who will do whatever she must to protect her clan. --Richard T Jameson

  After 40-odd years Vinnie (Peter Falk) has a decent life. He and his wife Ellen (Tyne Daly) finally have some time together and his bar in South Boston is a second home for the neighborhood men. The guys drink up front and place bets in the back room. And when somebody local is down on their luck Vinnie can be counted on to strike a fair deal. Vinnie knows that Frankie (Timothy Hutton) is blowing paychecks on the numbers and driving away his wife (Lauren Holly) but Vinnie is a reasonable man. He respects the business associates who keep interests in his backroom operation and they in turn don't pressure him. That is until Pete from the Italian partnership sends over his itchy arogant nephew Tony (Freddie Prinze Jr.). Vinnie thinks that he has endured worse. All it takes is one small choice - an uncle looking for a member of his family or a bookie looking the other way - for an entire world to change...
