Every ten years or so, the all-purpose title The Trap is applied to a film about psychological rather than physical entrapment. This 1966 British/Canadian coproduction stars Oliver Reed as a roughhewn fur trapper of the 1890s. He has missed the annual "wife auction" due to inclement weather, and must settle for what's left: a timorous mute girl, played by Rita Tushingham. Though she lives in mortal terror of her husband, Tushingham nurses Reed through a near-fatal illness. The awe-inspiring location photography of The Trap frequently upstages the strenuous dramatics of its stars. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Lillian Carlson and Walter Marsh starred on this quasi-comic Canadian series as the Grangers, who with their children Stephen (Mark De Coursey) and Tadpole (Kevin Burchett) moved from the hustle and bustle of Ottawa to a tranquil island off the coast of British Columbia. Here the Granger family hoped to open up a tourist lodge, but things didn't always go as smoothly as planned. One of the stumbling blocks to the Grangers' success was the preponderance of eccentric locals on the island, including a pair of warring shopkeepers who literally maintained a "border" between their businesses, replete with a painted line of demarcation. From the creators of the popular Tidewater Tramp, Friday Island was broadcast by the CBC from October 19, 1962 to April 12, 1963. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
After years of searching through orphanage records, Richie (Stan Kirsch) is convinced that he has found his real father. Duncan (Adrian Paul) doubts this, especially after meeting Richie's self-confessed "daddy", a two-bit gambler named Joe Scanlon (J.E. Freeman). As it happens, Richie is being set up for betrayal to one of Joe's more lethal creditors, a chap named Clinch (Peter DeLuise), forcing Duncan to go to the rescue of his pal yet again. This was the second episode of Highlander to be filmed, but the 11th to be telecast. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
