Tito's Yugoslavia
One of the very few effective acts of resistance to German occupation during World War Two was conducted by Yugoslavia's Partisan Army. The army was commanded by Josip Tito. During the post-World War Two era, the only effective resistance by an Eastern European country to control by the Soviet Union was offered by Yugoslavia, headed by Josip Tito. In recent years, the only effective resistance to world domination by the superpowers was offered by the Third World, or non-aligned states. The originator of the idea of non-alignment was Josip Tito. This film documents how Tito used resistance to achieve power and then used that power and then used that power to change the course of history.
Our Country is the Soviet Union
"Jewish tourists from the United States and Canada return to the land of their childhood. They go to Moscow, Kiev, and Vilnius with special interest in the life of Jewish people. Woven into the picture is the history of pre-Revolution slave life with pogroms and massacres. Following the revolution, Jews, entitled to the full rights of all citizens, were given opportunity for a new life in a separate territory in which to make their home--Birobidjan.

Killer Bats
Incomplete film. Only last 37 minutes available. AKA Devil Bat. Bela Lugosi, Dave O'Brien, Suzanne Kaaren, Guy Usher. As Dr. Carruthers, Bela Lugosi gets revenge by giving out samples of his special shaving lotion. The aroma attracts his giant bat, usually kept in his secret lab. Bat flying through air at night. A wonderfully ridiculous chiller from the cheapest studio in the business. Bela says a cheery good-bye to his victims after making sure they sample his lotion. Mad scientists. Horror film.
