Movie legend David Niven makes a rare television performance in this classic adaptation of Oscar Wilde's famous story, giving an impish, whimsical performance as the beleaguered ghost who finds himself under duress when an American family takes over his stately home! Also starring James Whitmore, Lynne Frederick and veteran British actress Flora Robson, this adaptation of The Canterville Ghost was first shown on New Year's Eve, 1974. When Mr Hyram B. Otis and his family move to Canterville Chase, they are soon acquainted with the ghost of Sir Simon de Canterville. Sir Simon, however, has a hard time with his hauntings particularly when he is plagued by the family's two sons. Could their beautiful daughter, Virginia, prove to be his salvation?

Titles Comprise:3:10 To Yuma: After a hold-up and a murder, outlaw Ben Wade (Glenn Ford) and his gang are captured. Wade's men break out of jail and wait for a chance to rescue him. The authorities suspect that a daring escape plan is underway, so they look for a guard to escort Wade by train to Yuma to stand trial. The marshal offers a bounty and Dan Evans (Van Heflin), a poor rancher hit hard by a crippling drought, takes the job. His wife pleads with him to save his own life by letting Wade go free, but for Evans, it's a matter of principle as well as money. He takes Wade and begins the dangerous trek to the station.Bend Of The River: The second of the terrific Stewart/Mann Westerns is characteristic of their pairings: adult themes played out against prairie vistas in which betrayal and violence can erupt at any time.Formerly a vicious Missouri raider, Stewart now leads a wagon train through Indian raids and hijackings to the new boom town of Portland where he becomes embroiled in the conflict between wealthy miners and farmers.Broken Trail: Set in 1898, Print Ritter (Robert Duvall) and his estranged nephew Tom Harte (Thomas Haden Church) become the reluctant guardians of five abused and abandoned Chinese girls (introducing Caroline Chan, Olivia Cheng, Jadyn Wong, Valerie Tian, and Gwendoline Yeo).

It's up to the sharp shooting foursome to save the day, but first they have to break each other out of jail, and learn who their real friends are.
Johnny Cash was a unique figure in the turbulent 1970s outspoken enough to be embraced by the counterculture and yet conventional enough to be safe for middle America. It was in this latter mode that Cash devised one of his most successful forays into television ever: The Johnny Cash Christmas Special. Now for the first time since the original airing on CBS is the Johnny Cash Christmas Special 1976.
Johnny Cash welcomes musical guests Carl Perkins Jerry Lee Lewis Roy Orbison and the Statler Brothers among others for this unforgettable Christmas special from 1977. Shot at Nashville's Grand Ole Opry House this TV special includes timeless Christmas tunes sung with a country twang (such as Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer Silent Night and Here Comes Santa Claus) while the gospel standard This Trains is Bound for Glory forms the centerpiece to an all-star tribute to the late Elvis Presley.
Barbra is the ""top-billed act"" in this affectionate tribute to turn of the century vaudeville. No detail was too small for this lovingly created world of a bygone era. Her first television special to feature guest-stars The Belle of 14th Street celebrates in ways both comedic and heartfelt ""The Golden Age of Song"". A marvelous showcase for such evergreens as Sophie Tucker's ""Some Of These Days "" ""How About Me"" (written by ""a new young talent"" Irving Berlin) the poignant ""I'm Always Chasing Rainbows "" and the sublime ""My Buddy"" - all classics of the vaudeville era reinvented by the ""greatest star"" of our time. This DVD is from the 5-disc boxed set Barbra Streisand: The Television Specials.
