The Searchers (1956)

The Searchers tells the emotionally complex story of a perilous, hate-ridden quest and Homeric-style odyssey of self-discovery after a Comanche massacre, while also exploring the themes of racial prejudice and sexism. Its meandering tale examines the inner psychological turmoil of a fiercely independent, crusading man obsessed with revenge and hatred, who searches for his two nieces (Pippa Scott and Natalie Wood) among the "savages" over a five-year period.

Ethan Edwards (John Wayne), returned from the Civil War to the Texas ranch of his brother, hoping to find a home with his family and to be near the woman he obviously but secretly loves. However, a Comanche raid destroys these plans, and Ethan sets out, along with his 1/8 Indian nephew Martin, on a several year-long journey to find the niece kidnapped by the Indians under Chief Scar. But as the quest goes on, Martin begins to realize that his uncle's hatred for the Indians is beginning to spill over onto his now-assimilated niece. Martin becomes uncertain whether Ethan plans to rescue Debbie...or kill her.

King of Hearts (1967)

As World War I nears its end, a battalion of retreating Germans arranges for an entire French village to be blown up by placing an explosive in the town square. The charge is triggered to explode when an armored knight on the church steeple clock strikes the hour of midnight with his mace. As the villagers evacuate their town, one of them gets word of the bomb threat to a nearby Scottish regiment. A mildmannered private, Charles Plumpick, is chosen to investigate because he speaks French. By the time he arrives at the village, the only inhabitants remaining are the inmates of the insane asylum and the animals from the zoo. A harmless and carefree lot, they crown Plumpick their King of Hearts, move into the houses and shops of the town, and assume the various roles of barber, bishop, duke and duchess, bordello proprietress, etc., ignoring Plumpick's frantic but futile search for the bomb.

Pip, a young orphan, lives a humble existence with his ill-tempered older sister and her strong but gentle husband, Joe Gargery. One day Pip meets an escaped convict and brings him food and a file to keep him alive. This convict is later caught again and sent away.

Pip is satisfied with his life and his warm friends until he is hired by an embittered wealthy woman, Miss Havisham, as an occasional companion to her beautiful but haughty adopted daughter, Estella. Pip falls in love with Estella. From that time on, Pip aspires to leave behind his simple life and be a gentleman. After years as companion to Miss Havisham and Estella, he spends more years as an apprentice to Joe, so that he may grow up to have a future working as a blacksmith.
