In late 2017, "Masterpiece," a painting by the late pop art master Roy Lichtenstein, sold for $165 million in a private sale. The sale was a far cry from the early 1950s when the young artist struggled to find acceptance as a painter in Cleveland. Roy's wife, Isabel, was the family's breadwinner and a prominent interior decorator. She developed a clientele of upper-middle-class Clevelanders who appreciated her taste for what is now known as mid-century modern design. Isabel was a female entrepreneur at a time when many women were homemakers. While Roy Lichtenstein's impact on the art world is well documented, the story of his pre-pop days in Cleveland and the woman who supported him as he developed his signature style is largely unknown. ISABEL AND ROY half-hour documentary that traces that tale.

Dealing with drug addiction, Otto Preminger pushes the censorship envelope to tackle a tough subject in this film. Frank Sinatra's crescendo performance, culminating in the searing "cold turkey" sequence, is one of the most memorable kick-the-drug-habit performances ever put on film, and certainly helped Preminger to make the subject acceptable for the screen. This is great ensemble acting. Eleanor Parker is excellent as Zosch Machine, Frankie's controlling wife, ostensibly confined to a wheelchair from a car accident caused by Frankie. Her performance is the focal point of the film, as she uses her disability (which only the audience knows is a charade) to control Frankie's actions and ability to rise above his past of gambling (he is an ace card dealer, hence the title of the film). Frankie's one shot at a legitimate career as a musician and happiness with the selfless Molly (wonderfully played by Kim Novak) is extinguished by Zosch's controlling personality. This provides the film with the claustrophobic atmosphere that makes everything work. The other members of the cast are great, with Darren McGavin as Louis, the drug dealer who is constantly pushing Frankie over the edge, and Arnold Stang as Sparrow, whose performance as Frankie's friend and confidant, adds a nice touch of nostalgia.

When Ronald Reagan nominated Sandra Day O'Connor as the Supreme Court's first female justice in 1981, the announcement dominated the news. Time Magazine's cover proclaimed "Justice At Last," and she received unanimous Senate approval. Born in 1930 in El Paso, Texas, O'Connor grew up on a cattle ranch in Arizona in an era when women were expected to become homemakers. After graduating near the top of her class at Stanford Law School, she could not convince a single law firm to interview her, so she turned to volunteer work and public service. A Republican, she served two terms in the Arizona state senate, then became a judge on the state court of appeals. During her 25 years on the Supreme Court, O'Connor was the critical swing vote on cases involving some of the 20th century's most controversial issues, including abortion, affirmative action - and she was the tiebreaker on Bush v. Gore. Forty years after her confirmation, this biography recounts the life of a pioneering woman who both reflected and shaped an era.
