Her cover blown, Sydney (Jennifer Garner) is trapped in an SD-6 torture chamber by the sinister Sloane (Ron Rifkin), who has arranged an elaborate -- and very painful -- charade in order to coerce a confession from her. Sydney's dad, Jack (Victor Garber), must convince Sloane that she is still loyal to SD-6, but this plan may cost Jack his own life. And amidst all of this melodrama, at least one of the series' characters remembers that Christmas is coming soon. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Realizing that her secret-agent father, Jack (Victor Garber), is connected with the murder of her fiancé, Danny, Sydney (Jennifer Garner) agrees to work hand in glove with the CIA as a double agent, to bring down her present employers at SD-6 once and for all. Sydney's first counterespionage assignment involves locating a missing nuclear device and a deadly arms dealer named Anini Hassan (Aharon Ipalé). Elsewhere, Sydney's journalist friend, Will (Bradley Cooper), begins to suspect that she is involved in something other than your average "outside job," while her CIA connection, Vaughn (Michael Vartan), makes a potentially apocalyptic mistake. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Not long after he lost that "chicken run" to James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause (1955), actor Corey Allen switched professional gears to become a prolific film and TV director. Allen was responsible for putting television perennials James Brolin and Lisa Hartman through their paces in Beverly Hills Cowgirl Blues. Brolin plays a Beverly Hills cop who teams up with a luscious female private eye from Texas (Hartman, of course). While Brolin prefers peace and quiet, Hartman insists upon rooting out the murderer of a debutante-turned-hooker. Since both stars were gainfully employed on other TV series when Beverly Hills Cowgirl Blues first aired on October 5, 1985, we hesitate to suggest that this film was the pilot for a potential series. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

In a courageous statement that flies in the face of Israeli and Palestinian extremists, hard-liners, and even a lot of popular sentiment, director and co-writer Nissim Dayan has posed a political bomb of a question: what happens when an Israeli man and a Palestinian woman, both dedicated to their own agendas, fall hopelessly in love? Benny Tagar (Aharon Ipale) is an Israeli lawyer sent to the West Bank for one month to officiate as a military prosecutor. One day he accidentally meets Layla Mansour (Salwa Hadad) a widowed Palestinian woman working as a school librarian. The two face off, since Benny has just had his car stoned by a gang of street kids and is not in a good mood. Both Layla and Benny are ultimately drawn to each other in spite of their own wishes and the vast gulf that separates them. Everyone, Israeli and Palestinian friends and relatives alike, reacts against their "folly."

Norman Jewison's adaptation of the long-running Broadway musical is set in the Ukranian ghetto village of Anatevka (the film was actually lensed in Yugoslavia). Israeli actor Topol repeats his London stage role as Tevye the milkman, whose equilibrium is constantly being challenged by his poverty, the prejudicial attitudes of non-Jews, and the romantic entanglements of his five daughters. Whenever the weight of the world becomes too much for him, Tevye carries on lengthy conversations with God, who does not answer but is at least more willing to listen than the milkman's remonstrative wife Golde. After arranging a marriage between his oldest daughter Tzeitel and wealthy butcher Lazar Wolf, Tevye is forced to do some quick rearranging when the girl falls in love with poor tailor Motel Kamzoil. Fancying himself more broad-minded than his gentile oppressors, Tevye cannot accept the notion that his other daughter Chava would want to marry Fyedka, a non-Jew. And after shouting the praises of "tradition," Tevye must change his tune-and his entire life-when he and his neighbors are forced out of Anatevka by the Czar's minions. Topol's co-stars include Norma Crane as Golde, Yiddish theater legend Molly Picon as Yente the matchmaker, and Leonard Frey as Motel. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
