"Empire" (1962): Season 1: Episode 1 -- A stunning crime drama about a gang member who tries to escape his dangerous life through Wall Street - and finds it just as deadly.  Fierce gunplay and tense business deals are just as exciting in this thought-provoking exploration of the criminal mind.

Untamed (1955) -- Among those leaving Ireland during the potato famine are Katie O'Neill and her husband, who decide that the promised land is South Africa. Once there, they discover the hardships that are the reality of the homesteader experience.

Return to Lake Havasu: The Making of 'Day of the Wolves' (2009) -- Return to Lake Havasu is a documentary of the extraordinary story behind the making of the cult heist movie 'Day of the Wolves' in Lake Havasu City.

In 1971 the town of Lake Havasu was still little more than a semi-complete housing estate with a small strip mall and high school. People had come to settle in Lake Havasu from all over the United States, but especially from small towns in Illinois, looking for a new life and warmer climate. Reconstruction of the London Bridge in the center of town was almost complete, and was envisioned by the towns creator, Robert J. McCulloch, as a major tourist attraction.

In the hopes of bringing film productions (and publicity) to Lake Havasu, the McCulloch Corporation, which functionally owned and ran Lake Havasu, invited filmmakers to visit. One of the filmmakers on that flight to Lake Havasu was the maverick film producer Ferde Grofé, son of the famous composer of the same name.

Starting out as a production assistant to Sam Katzman at Columbia studios, Grofé progressed to producing his own movies, first with (Mary Pickfords husband) Buddy Rogers and Sam Arkoff, and later by himself in the Philippines. He had earned the deserved reputation as a low budget guerrilla filmmaker.

Within a month of visiting Havasu, Grofé had persuaded a small TV syndication company to agree to finance the production in Lake Havasu of a TV film from a screenplay he had written several years earlier, called "Day of the Wolves". The story was about a group of thieves attempting to ransack a town but thwarted by the towns ex sheriff.

Grofé traveled to Lake Havasu in February 1971 with a small crew and cast that included Richard Egan and Martha Hyer. Using the Lake Havasu amateur Theater Guild to fill smaller roles, locals helped at all levels of the production.

Almost 40 years on questions are still being asked by surviving townspeople and some in the production crew.
