Movie: The Quiet American (1958) 02:01 #182
A enigmatic young American diplomat, Alden Pyle (Audie Murphy), has widely different views--on Vietnam and society--than the older, cynical Brit, Thomas Fowler (Michael Redgrave), in Saigon. They compete over the affections of Phuong, a young woman (Giorgia Moll). Pyle attempts to help the South Vietnamese in their struggles against French colonialism and Communists. In this adaptation of Graham Greene's novel about U.S. foreign policy failure in pre-war Indochina, the American wants to reform the woman, and make her a typical middle-class American housewife; the chilling Brit accepts her inability to formulate or retain a political ideal, and, while promising her no real future, objects to the American's attempts to change her. Communists have convinced Fowler that Pyle should be eliminated. Is Pyle what he appears--a bungling Yankee do-gooder--or an agent of U.S. covert operations? Or, is he an expendable pawn?

The villagers come together for the 21st annual Ormston and Thursvale Pub Olympics. If they win the grand cash prize of 750 Pounds, it will go towards Phyllis's fund to buy the Signalman's Arm back from the brewery. The strain of the Pub Olympics lands the participants in hospital, including Catherine, who collapses in pain during the flowerpot race. The rest of the villagers recover in time to take part in the deciding event, the tug-of-war. Phyllis enjoys playing cupid to Daisy and Edgar, while reassuring Eddie and Jean that marriage in the village does not always lead to unhappiness. Eddie and Jean, however, decide not to take any chances, and leave Ormston, rather than end up a warring married couple. Donald delivers an overseas parcel from Arthur.

Johnstown Flood 00:57 (Rpt) APT
Both the bright and dark sides of human nature are revealed in this grim portrayal of one of the most catastrophic man-made disasters in history, with a look at the tragic events of May 31, 1889, when one of the worst floods in North America hit Johnstown, PA. Narrator Richard Dreyfuss tells the story, based on accounts of those who survived the 50-foot wall of water, and subsequent greed that devastated the Conemaugh River Valley. On the Friday of the flood, it was raining more than usual, causing water at the South Fork dam to rise. The owner of the dam, The South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club, had disabled the safety spillway, to prevent fish from washing over the dam. Water accumulated, and the massive dam broke, unleashing the 20 million tons of water that was behind it. Thousands of lives were lost. [TVPG] R of 8/28 7pm
