An examination of the process of making movies follows a production from script to screen.

Only the Strong

Louis Stevens' (Mark Dacascos) service as a member of an elite military unit kept him out of the country for several years. Now that he's back home in Florida, he's dismayed at what's become of his old high school. He sees that drug dealers, dispatched by local overlord Silverio (Paco Christian Prieto), sell on school grounds with little fear of getting caught. A skilled martial artist, Louis is determined to end the drug peddling, but to do so he'll probably have to duke it out with Silverio.

If I'm Lucky

Desperate for money, a swing band led by Earl Gordon (Harry James) gets a job working for a political campaign, playing at rallies for the candidate, Darius J. Magonnagle (Edgar Buchanan). Political managers, however, decide that the band's charming singer, Allen Clark (Perry Como), would make a better candidate. Clark plays along, but as the election nears, he decides he's had enough of politics. The operatives who roped him in, however, are not about to let him go easily.

The Best of Everything

Three ambitious working girls of 1950s Manhattan share their secretarial work and later a home together: Gregg (Suzy Parker) is an aspiring actress whose director is using her; April (Diane Baker) is left pregnant and alone; and Caroline (Hope Lange) finds solace in the arms of an editor (Stephen Boyd). Together the three contend with romantic disappointments, office politics and the threat that their dreams for a fulfilling career will be cut short by marriage, children and inertia.

Do Not Disturb

American Mike Harper (Rod Taylor), sent to do business in England, moves there with his wife, Janet (Doris Day). But she soon becomes convinced that Mike is carrying on with his attractive new assistant, Claire (Leon Askin). Mike also has been spending a considerable amount of time with his British bachelor buddies. Vexed and lonely, Claire hires charming antiques expert Paul (Sergio Fantoni) to decorate the Harper home and maybe make Mike jealous in the process.

Dear Brigitte

Poet and professor Robert Leaf (James Stewart) has a disdain for the sciences. Unfortunately for him, his son Erasmus (Bill Mumy) is colorblind, completely tone-deaf and a natural math prodigy. While the professor tires to comes to terms with his son's predilection for numbers, the talented youth and his sister Pandora (Cindy Carol) use his math talents to win at the race track. Erasmus hopes to use the money he makes to fly to Paris and meet Brigitte Bardot, with whom he is infatuated.

The Flim Flam Man

A veritable master of the trade, con man Mordecai Jones (George C. Scott) has taken part in his fair share of scams. When he happens upon a young army deserter, Curley (Michael Sarrazin), Jones decides to pass on his knowledge of swindling to the likable novice. As the two blaze through the rural South, Curley meets Bonnie Lee Packard (Sue Lyon), a girl of privilege, who helps the two crooks evade the local sheriff (Harry Morgan). But Curley soon questions his newfound profession.

Tolkien

As a young student, J.R.R. Tolkien finds love, friendship and artistic inspiration among a group of fellow outcasts. Their brotherhood soon strengthens as Tolkien weathers the storm of a tumultuous courtship with Edith Bratt and the outbreak of World War I. These early life experiences later inspire the budding author to write the classic fantasy novels The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.

The Other Woman

New York lawyer Carly Whitten (Cameron Diaz) lives by strict rules when it comes to romantic relationships, but when she falls for suave, handsome Mark King (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), she begins an affair with him. A surprise visit to Mark's home reveals that he is married to devoted housewife Kate (Leslie Mann). Carly and Kate direct their hurt and anger toward Mark, and when they discover yet a third woman (Kate Upton) caught in his web of lies, the three join forces for revenge.

Stuber

A quick-tempered cop who's recovering from eye surgery recruits a mild-mannered Uber driver to help him catch the heroin dealer who murdered his partner. The mismatched pair soon find themselves in for a wild day of stakeouts and shootouts as they pursue violent criminals through the seedy streets of Los Angeles.
