El Che – Professor Cline
"El Che", investigates a legend. Ernesto "Che" Guevara de la Serna represents one of the most enduring images of a political leader. His legendary character has been an inspiration for millions, yet many condemn him--sometimes bitterly. For all, he is a subject of controversy and passion. This fascinating film examines the myth of the 'most idolized revolutionary of the 20th century' (NY Times) and contains:
- his voyages of discovery through Latin America -the meeting with Fidel Castro, when an instantaneous friendship was born
-His travels around the world as Cuba's ambassador, sent by Castro to meet Krushchev, Nasser, Nehru, Tito, Mao...
-His days as victorious leader of guerrilla warfare and a cold blooded revolutionary [sic]
-His various disguises worthy of a Hollywood thriller -The disastrous episode in the Congo
-Film footage of his tragic end in Bolivia at 39

Fail Safe - Professor Hart
A technical malfunction in the Pentagon's strategic control system causes an erroneous order to be sent to a B-58 squadron on a routine mission instructing the bombers to fly beyond their fail safe points. At this point the flight crew are trained to cease communications and prepare to fulfill their objective by bombing Moscow. As the planes near their target, the crisis deepens and together the Americans and Soviets decide on a final desperate solution. Whereas Dr. Strangelove's black comic plot revolves around a similar situation, Fail Safe, which was made at exactly the same time and also distributed by Columbia, is a very serious take on the possibility of mutual destruction. With Henry Fonda, Walter Matthau, Larry Hagman.
