2	The Naked Jungle (1954) more movies like this directed by Byron Haskin featuring Eleanor Parker, Charlton Heston, Abraham Sofaer, William Conrad, Romo Vincent It doesn't take long for old-time-radio fans to figure out that The Naked Jungle is a film version of the classic Carl Stephenson nailbiter Leiningen Versus the Ants . Charlton Heston plays South American plantation owner Christopher Leiningen, who spends most of the film preparing for the hellish onslaught of deadly soldier ants. The original ... see all copies from £3.88! new only from £5.05!
3	The Man With the Golden Arm (1955) more movies like this directed by Otto Preminger featuring Frank Sinatra, Eleanor Parker, Kim Novak, Arnold Stang, Darren McGavin When Otto Preminger was willing to release his drug-addiction drama Man With the Golden Arm without the sanction of a Production Code seal, it proved to be yet another nail in the coffin of that censorial dinosaur. Based on the novel by Nelson Algren, the film stars Frank Sinatra as Frankie Machine, expert card dealer (hence the title). Recently ... see all copies from £2.73! new only from £2.73!

6	Scaramouche (1952) more movies like this directed by George Sidney featuring Stewart Granger, Eleanor Parker, Janet Leigh, Mel Ferrer, Henry Wilcoxon This delightful adaptation of Rafael Sabatini's swashbuckling novel stars Stewart Granger as Andre Moreau, an 18th-century French nobleman who is publicly humiliated by the Marquis de Maynes (Mel Ferrer).

7	Return to Peyton Place (1961) more movies like this directed by José Ferrer featuring Carol Lynley, Jeff Chandler, Eleanor Parker, Mary Astor, Tuesday Weld, Robert Sterling If anything, this star-studded sequel is even sillier than the original, adding to its problems by completely recasting all the roles, combining several of them into existing characters.

A stickler for the letter of the law, Detective James ... see all copies from £6.75! new only from £7.45!
10	A Hole in the Head (1959) more movies like this directed by Frank Capra featuring Frank Sinatra, Edward G. Robinson, Eleanor Parker, Carolyn Jones, Thelma Ritter Although the main character, Tony Manetta (Frank Sinatra), in this light comedy tends to tip the scales towards being unbelievably unrealistic, the story is pulled off because everyone else is convincing.

14 view cover	Many Rivers to Cross (1955) more movies like this directed by Roy Rowland featuring Robert Taylor, Eleanor Parker, Victor McLaglen, Jeff Richards, Russ Tamblyn Packaged and sold as an outdoor actioner, Many Rivers to Cross is as much a comedy as anything else.
