Adaneth

Episode 7: She was the pride of her line, a ship unparalleled in grace, opulence and elegance, and to postwar Italy she represented the very spirit of the nation. But on her 51st Atlantic crossing, in a pea-soup fog shrouding Nantucket Sound, she was rammed by the Stockholm. Eleven hours later, she slipped beneath the black waters, and the Andrea Doria became the worst maritime disaster since the Titanic. The Sinking of the Andrea Doria features exclusive, never-before-seen footage of the tragedy taken by a seaman onboard one of the ships called to the liner's aid. Passengers and crewmen recall the horror and confusion of the disaster, and maritime experts examine the details looking for clues to what went wrong. Was Captain Calami who was so dedicated that crewmen had to beg him not to go down with the ship to blame, as many have asserted? Or did the Stockholm crew misread their radar? This is the definitive look at the tragedy that has earned a place as one of the darkest moments in maritime history.

Episode 6: The commander was Vilhjalmur Stefansson, a celebrated polar explorer known for his ego as well as his exploits. The ship was the Karluk, a nineteenth-century whaler. The mission was arctic exploration. And the end was tragic. For sixty years, the true story of the Karluk expedition was unknown, but the complete tale is told here. With over thirty crewmen, the Karluk departed for the arctic in July of 1913. In less than two months, the aged, ill-equipped boat was trapped in the ice. In a stunning act of cowardice, Stefansson abandoned the ship and crew, saying he was hunting and would return shortly. Instead, he traveled the arctic for the next five years, a journey that would win him accolades. The Karluk was crushed in the ice, however, and in their desperate search for safety, 11 crewmen died. The Deadly Arctic Expedition draws heavily on a book written by William McKinlay, a scholar who was aboard the Karluk and survived the odyssey. Through his words, Stefansson's journals, archival material and expert commentary, the sad saga of the Karluk and her crew comes to life.

Episode 5: It all started with bad meat. When it was over, more than 5,000 had died and the pride of the Russian Black Sea Fleet lay beneath the waters, scuttled by her crew. Revolt on the Potemkin is a detailed account of one of the strangest incidents in maritime history. When his crew refused to eat soup made with tainted meat, Commander Giliarovsky treated their actions as mutiny, and ordered that a number of randomly selected crewmen be shot! When the shooters failed to carry out his order, Giliarovsky killed one himself, and a real mutiny ensued. Formerly classified documents, accounts from men who were there and interviews with maritime historians chronicle the chaos that followed. Giliarovsky and several other officers were killed, and when the ship docked in Odessa, rioting sparked by the display of the dead crewman's martyr-body claimed more than 5,000 lives. Eventually, the mutineers took the Potemkin back out to sea, where they scuttled the mighty ship. It's a riveting chronicle of one of the strangest chapters in the maritime history, the most famous mutiny since the Bounty.

Frank Finlay starred in the title role and was nominated for the best actor award at the 1972 BAFTA ceremony. Episode 1: After being arrested and charged with "foul atheism" and fornication, Casanova is sentenced to five years imprisonment at "The Leads": the most notorious of Venetian gaols.

He finds himself haunted by the memory of Christina, a simple country girl he gave to another rather than marry her himself.

A 2000 four part History Documentary narrated by Art Malik. They wielded a double-edged sword, combining military might and impressive financial power. The Pope himself couldn't escape their long shadow and the whispers about a fabulous secret treasure, which was said to include the Holy Grail and the Ark of the Covenant. So who - or what - brought down the mighty Knights Templar? This is the story of an organisation extinct for nearly seven centuries, but whose legacy still echoes through some of today's "secret societies." The first Templars were French knights dedicated to protecting Christians on pilgrimage to holy sites. Highly trained and passionately devoted to God, they fought with no fear of death and eventually became monks, albeit monks with no problem using a sword on their enemies. The Knights built the world's first multi-national corporation, a huge network of castles, farms and ships all designed to make money to support the Crusades. This financial empire helped Richard the Lionheart and the King of France, but also raised suspicions that these "holy men" were growing too powerful and independent. Thus began the accusations of heresy - and the burnings at the stake. Professor Malcolm Barber, the world's leading Templar historian, explores the impressive rise and rapid fall of a group ahead of its time. Did the Knights cause the Crusades to ultimately fail? What happened to the surviving heroes of the Order? And - even more important - was there a secret treasure and where might it be now? Episode 1: Explains how the Templars came about. They do not mention Hugh de Payne or the original group who are credited with the founding of the Templars, but does pick up from the time of the First Crusades, and does cover the circumstances of why a military order was needed, and how the Order was finally acknowledged and accepted.

The Leopard (Italian: Il Gattopardo meaning "The Serval") is a 1963 Italian epic period drama film by director Luchino Visconti, based on Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa's novel of the same title. Audio Italian with subtitles in; Italian, English, French, Russian, Spanish. It stars Burt Lancaster, Claudia Cardinale, Alain Delon, Serge Reggiani, Mario Girotti, and Pierre Clementi. Screenplay and adaptation: Suso Cecchi D'Amico, Pasquale Festa Campanile, Enrico Medioli, Massimo Franciosa and Luchino Visconti. Music by Nino Rota. Luchino Visconti won the Palme d'Or at the 1963 Cannes Film Festival. Plot Summary: Set in Sicily at the time of the Bourbon sunset, the novel is based on the family of Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa and in particular on his ancestor, Prince Fabrizio Salina. When the aristocratic Salina family finds themselves spending their holidays in Donnafugata's summer residence, the mayor of the town, the ambitious Don Calogero Sedara, tries to get into the prince's favor. It is during the meeting between these two families that Tancredi, Don Fabrizio's affectionate nephew, is immediately fascinated by Angelica, the beautiful daughter of Don Calogero. Just as these family plots are consumed, the time comes to vote for the annexation of Sicily to the Kingdom of Sardinia, a difficult decision that forces the prince to a profound reflection and an awareness of the historical moment that his generation is crossing. The same year he finished 8½ (1963), Nino Rota dusted off an old symphony of his own composition, he proposed it to Luchino Visconti for this film, the director loved it, and it became the score for this fresco of the social and political changes in Sicily in the midst of the 19th century. The editor Mario Serandrei had given Visconti as a present the sheet music of an unpublished waltz by Giuseppe Verdi that he had found in one drawer of an old chest he bought in a flea market. Rota added this composition to the long final ball sequence. Cast & Characters: Burt Lancaster as Don Fabrizio Corbera, Prince of Salina Claudia Cardinale as Angelica Sedara / Bertiana Alain Delon as Tancredi Falconeri, Don Fabrizio's nephew Paolo Stoppa as Don Calogero Sedara, Mayor of Donnafugata Rina Morelli as Princess Maria Stella of Salina, Don Fabrizio's wife Romolo Valli as Father Pirrone Terence Hill (billed as Mario Girotti) as Count Cavriaghi Pierre Clémenti as Francesco Paolo Lucilla Morlacchi as Concetta Giuliano Gemma as Garibaldi's General Ida Galli as Carolina Ottavia Piccolo as Caterina https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057091/?ref_=ttalt_alt_tt
