Les Diables

Jul 16, 1971
Le film retrace les grandes lignes de l'affaire des possédées de Loudun. Au 17ème siècle, en France, Richelieu veut convaincre Louis XIII d'en finir avec les gouvernements autonomes des petites villes de province. Loudun est une ville fortifiée du Poitou, dans laquelle catholiques et protestants vivent en bonne entente sous l'autorité bienveillante de l'abbé Grandier, un curé catholique charismatique et progressiste. Sa popularité, ainsi que sa réputation de prêtre libertin et séducteur, lui vaut des inimitiés parmi les notables locaux. La mère supérieure du couvent tout proche développe une attirance obsessionnelle pour le personnage. Les sœurs ursulines sombrent dans une forme d'hystérie collective, se disant possédées par des démons et par l'esprit de Grandier qu'elles accusent d'être en commerce avec le Diable. Ce sera le point de départ d'une cabale, menée par les autorités religieuses et civiles, contre le prêtre qui s'était ouvertement opposé aux projets de Richelieu.

Hallmark Hall of Fame

Nov 27, 2011
Hallmark Hall of Fame is an anthology program on American television, sponsored by Hallmark Cards, a Kansas City based greeting card company. The longest-running primetime series in the history of television, it has a historically long run, beginning during 1951 and continuing into 2013. From 1954 onward, all of its productions have been shown in color, although color television video productions were extremely rare in 1954. Many television movies have been shown on the program since its debut, though the program began with live telecasts of dramas and then changed to videotaped productions before finally changing to filmed ones. The series has received eighty Emmy Awards, twenty-four Christopher Awards, eleven Peabody Awards, nine Golden Globes, and four Humanitas Prizes. Once a common practice in American television, it is the last remaining television program such that the title includes the name of the sponsor. Unlike other long-running TV series still on the air, it differs in that it broadcasts only occasionally and not on a weekly broadcast programming schedule.

Alfred Hitchcock présente
7.734
Immortalisée par la silhouette d'Alfred Hitchcock apparaissant sur l'écran au son de la Marche funèbre d'une marionnette de Charles Gounod, cette série est en fait une anthologie de petites histoires noires, à la chute souvent inattendue. Au début de chaque épisode et avant d'en faire la présentation, toujours teintée d'humour noir, Alfred Hitchcock saluait les téléspectateurs d'un sévère « Bonsoir ». Il revenait en épilogue pour exposer sa morale de l'histoire. (source : Wikipédia)

One Step Beyond

Jul 04, 1961
Produite en même temps que Twilight Zone, cette série a nourri l'intérêt croissant pour le paranormal d'une manière différente. Plutôt que de créer des histoires fictives avec des rebondissements surnaturels, ce programme cherchait des histoires réelles/surnaturelle, y compris des fantômes, des disparitions, des monstres, et les recréait pour chaque épisode. Aucune solution à ces mystères n'a jamais été trouvée, et les téléspectateurs ne pouvaient que se demander, et si c'était vrai ?

Victoria Regina

Dec 04, 1964
Patricia Routledge gives a career-best performance as Queen Victoria in this 1964 series of plays based on the celebrated collection of dramas by playwright Laurence Housman. Self-willed, obstinate, imperious and passionate... a now-familiar description of one of history's longest-serving female monarchs – but Housman's satirical tribute marked a decisive break with the tradition of the uncritical historical portrait. A Broadway hit deemed too disrespectful for public performance in Britain until the late 1930s, Victoria Regina is a frank portrayal of an extraordinarily complex woman, tracing her development from royal teenager to inconsolable widow at the helm of a vast empire, with all her contradictions, prejudices and unconstitutional behavior.
