Filmed in England, Someone at the Top of the Stairs stars Donna Mills and Judy Carne as a pair of American tourists roaming at large in London. Taking rooms in a Victorian-era boarding house, Mills and Carne are terrified by the house's weird inhabits. Be assured that there's worse to come in this updated derivation of the 1944 mystery film The Night Has Eyes. Someone at the Top of the Stairs was first telecast in Great Britain in 1973, then shipped out to American television a few months later. It debuted in the US as part of ABC's Wide World Mystery anthology series. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Tom Bell plays a disgruntled young Brit who becomes bored by his job and his marriage. Bell impulsively launches an affair with 15-year-old actress Olivia Hussey. But fear not: this isn't going to be "The Joey Buttafuco Story". Rather, both Bell and Hussey are brought to their senses when she thinks she's pregnant. Judy Carne, at the tail end of her Laugh-In-generated fame, is adequate as Bell's loving wife. Director Gerry O'Hara based the screenplay for All the Right Noises on his own novel. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Jeannie (Barbara Eden is just about worn to a frazzle serving as genie to two masters, namely Tony (Larry Hagman) and Roger (Bill Daily). More work comes her way when Roger begs Jeannie to get him out of trouble when he keeps his date Sheila (a pre-Laugh-In Judy Carne), the niece of Dr. Bellows (Hayden Rorke) out too late one night. Jeannie's solution to this crisis is to provide Roger with a genie of his own--her cousin Myrt, played by Emmaline Henry before she was established on I Dream of Jeannie in the role of Dr. Bellows' wife Amanda. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

In this drama, two young attorneys working for their uncle, find themselves facing off in court. One of the is defending a wife; the other, her husband who is suing for conjugal rights. As both lawyers are fresh from law school, things in court are often chaotic, and they suffer several fiascoes to the point where the judge is ready to disbar them. At the end of the tumultuous case, it looks as if the wife will win, when the other lawyer learns that the wife was afraid her husband would blackmail her if he found out that she was already married to a millionaire. Finally all is resolved and justice served. The two lawyers then decide to get married. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

The lively but somehow slightly distasteful The Americanization of Emily stars James Garner as a WWII naval officer who happens to be a craven coward. While his comrades sail off to their deaths, Garner makes himself scarce, generally hiding out in the London flat of his lothario navy buddy James Coburn. Garner falls in love with virtuous war widow Julie Andrews (the "Emily" of the title), but she can't abide his yellow streak. Meanwhile, crack-brained admiral Melvyn Douglas decides that he needs a hero--the first man to die on Omaha Beach during the D-Day Invasion. Coburn is at first elected for this sacrifice, but it is the quivering Garner who ends up hitting the beach. He survives to become a hero in spite of himself, winning Andrews in the process. Paddy Chayefsky's script, based on the novel by William Bradford Huie, attempts to extract humor out of the horrors of war by using broad, vulgar comedy instead of the light satirical touch that would seem to be called for. Americanization of Emily was Julie Andrews' second film; it should have led to a steady stream of adult-oriented roles, but the box-office clout of Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music consigned her to "wholesome family entertainment". ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
