When a Great Dane puppy is raised with a litter of Dachshunds, it naturally thinks it's a Dachshund too--even when it grows to 10 times the size. Dean Jones and Suzanne Pleshette star as the hapless couple who took in the galumphing dog, which wreaks havoc on their house and home. The Ugly Dachshund is mostly a series of spectacular disasters (the doggy demolition of Jones's art studio will delight kids and reduce adults to nervous wrecks), but it's held together by the convincing domestic banter of Jones and Pleshette (who was quite a dish in 1965); the pair went on to star in a couple of other Disney live-action flicks, Bluebeard's Ghost and The Shaggy D.A.. Despite some racial and gender stereotypes, it's a good-natured and amusing movie in the Disney mold. Also featuring classic character actor Charlie Ruggles (Bringing Up Baby, The Parent Trap). --Bret Fetzer
Legendary Native American Chief Crazy Horse is betrayed by his rival who tells the white men there's gold in the tribe's sacred burial ground As a new gold rush begins, and old treaties are ignored, the Sioux tribe's war with the fork-tongued white man begins again with new ferocity. Crazy Horse (Victor Mature) leads his braves into battle time and again in the treacherous build up to the historic Battle of the Little Big Horn (otherwise known as Custer's Last Stand). Told entirely from the Native American perspective, this is the enthralling story of a truly great, visionary warrior and a principled leader much misunderstood by history.
