OK Peter, you know the one I'm talking about, Scrooge's sister that died giving birth to his nephew. It was Little somebody..Nan?..FAN! That's it! Ever notice in Dickens, any female who died tragically had to be pre-fixed with "Little"?

I like the capsule summary, JH. That could be a whole new thread subject...Movie of the Week Capsule summaries.

Moby Dick A crazy seacaptain seeks revenge on the whale that ate his leg, bringing catastrophe to his crew mates.

The Bible A supreme being creates all things. Hilarious hijinks ensue.

Macbeth A power hungry Scotsman will do anything to be King, including plotting with witches. He is haunted by the ghost of his friend, his wife commits suicide, and things get even worse when his castle is attacked by a herd of trees.
