When the only surviving heir to the Emperor of Austro-Hungary, Austrian Archduke Francis Ferdinand (Christopher Plummer) was killed by Gavrilo Princip, a Serbian nationalist, on June 28th, 1914, his death set in motion a chain of events which resulted in the First World War. This movie chronicles the events surrounding that death and it aftermath. The assassination gave the Germans and Austrians reason to fear that Russia was actively fomenting unrest in the Balkans, for Serbia was a bone of contention throughout the region. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

The penchant for supernatural phenomena in films and elsewhere takes a ribbing in this well-wrought comedy divided into three tales about the paranormal. In the first story, a shy young clerk bravely accepts the blame for a mistake made by a co-worker, and immediately is crowned by a halo. After a few right-on barbs about bureaucracy and other matters, the clerk succumbs and lets his boss know that he did not make the mistake -- and promptly loses his halo. In the second story, a driver runs into a hearse by accident, wakes up the supposedly "dead" man in the coffin, who then reviles him because now he has to live without his pension. In the last tale, a wife deceives her jealous husband by clever use of a mindreader. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi
