In “Wings of the Hawk” (1953), Van Heflin stars as Irish Gallagher, an American mining for gold down in Mexico. He and his partner Marco (Mario Siletti) are ripped off by local military ruler Coronel Paco Ruiz (George Dolenz), who takes over the mine and kills Marco. Irish barely manages to escape on horseback and is rescued by insurrectionists led by Raquel Noriega (Julia Adams), who gets a bullet in the shoulder for her trouble. Irish patches her up in exchange for his freedom and romance rears its ugly head. Jealousy also flares when revolutionary leader Arturo Torres (Rudolpho Acosta), who had been her lover, sees what’s going on. Enter Pascual Orozco who asks for Arturo’s help in taking Ciudad Juarez. They’ll need $5,000 to buy 200 rifles but the revolutionaries have no money. However, they come up with a brainstorm.

All hail Blu-ray 3-D … a format still hanging on as one of the best features of home theater. Budd Boetticher’s trim action meller gives us Van Heflin (good) and Julie Adams (respectable) in a Mexican rebellion mini-epic with a backlot feel but rather good 3-D. The 3-D Film Archive’s experts have optimized the depth effect and included a colorful, very depth-y Woody Woodpecker cartoon. And Boetticher advocate Jeremy Arnold provides the audio commentary.

When Murder in the First Season 3 premieres on Sunday, June 26, there will be a new Assistant Attorney General in town.
Amanda Schull will be playing Melissa Danson, a ruthless new addition to the Attorney General's office.
Just how far will she be willing to go to get ahead?
From the looks of this exclusive clip, she's willing to go pretty darn far.
It's easy to see why Da Mario Siletti (Currie Graham) is a little worried about the birthday gift Melissa is offering.
If I were him, I might not make the joke about Melissa becoming Facebook friends with his wife.
After all, just how well does he know this woman?
The answer is that after his birthday gift, he will probably know her a little bit better.
Ok. A Lot better, if he really goes through will the receipt of said gift. A little privacy in the ladies room?...
