Janice Karman, June Foray
Alvin and the Chipmunks put a high-flying new spin on one of the most anticipated films of the year. Batmunk is a thrilling adventure that'll keep you on the edge of your seat...with laughter! Simon (in the most heroic role of his long, brainy career) plays the Caped Crime fighter to mischievous Alvin's hilariously villainous Jokester, an arch criminal whose cult of crooked clowns has been stealing all the toys in the city. When the thieves go after "the greatest toy in the world," Batmunk decides to teach the bad guys that crime doesn't play!

The Proud and Profane
George Seaton
William Holden, Deborah Kerr
In this romantic drama, beautiful Red Cross volunteer Lee Ashley arrives on the South Pacific island of New Caledonia to learn more about the circumstances surrounding the death of her husband, Howard, in the Battle of Guadalcanal. There, Ashley falls for the gruff, seductive Marine Lt. Col. Colin Buck, but struggle and tragedy follow when the widow learns about the reality of Buck's life back home.

The Deep Six
Rudolph Maté
Alan Ladd, Dianne Foster
The conflict between duty and conscience is explored in the WWII drama The Deep Six. Alan Ladd stars as Naval gunnery officer Alec Austin, a Quaker whose sincere pacifist sentiments do not sit well with his crew members. When he refuses to fire upon an unidentified plane, the word spreads that Austin cannot be relied upon in battle (never mind that the plane turns out to be one of ours). To prove that he's worthy of command, Austin volunteers for a dangerous mission: the rescue of a group of US pilots on a Japanese-held island. The ubiquitous William Bendix costars as Frenchy Shapiro (!), Austin's Jewish petty officer and severest critic. If the film has a villain, it is Keenan Wynn as ambitious Lt. Commander Edge, who seems to despise anyone who isn't a mainline WASP.
