The Ballad of Cable Hogue (1970)

Cable Hogue is a prospector who is abandoned in the desert, with no water, by his so-called partners. Nearing death, he discovers a natural spring and he’s soon at the nearest town to register a land claim. There he meets a pretty local prostitute, Hildy. Back at his claim site, he christens it Cable Springs and opens a stagecoach station where the horses can be watered and the passengers fed.

The Fixer (1968)

The Fixer movie storyline. Set in Czarist Russia in 1911, and based on the true story of Russian-Jewish peasant Yakov Bok (Sir Alan Bates), who was wrongly imprisoned for a most unlikely crime, the “ritual murder” of a Gentile child in Kiev. We witness the unrelenting detail of the peasant-handyman’s life in prison, and see him gain in dignity as the efforts to humiliate him and make him confess fail.
