Debut: John Lithgow hosts an ambitious 10-part series on the history of film in America. The first hour examines how some directors developed their movies by emphasizing strong narrative rather than relying on flashy technique, while others such as Howard Hawks and Orson Welles infused their work with their own distinctive style. Clips are shown from three films that drew their power from their plot: "Casablanca," "A Place in the Sun" and "Scarface." The second hour traces the phenomenon of stardom and the rise of the studios. Included are comments from industry experts and a generous sampling of clips. Narrators: Joe Morton, Kathleen Turner.

(Inclp.) "Submitted for your approval..." A profile of Rod Serling (1924-75) combines reminiscences from family members and colleagues with clips from the eerie, classic sci-fi series The Twilight Zone and other career highlights, including "Requiem for a Heavyweight," "Patterns" and "The Comedian." Director John Frankenheimer notes, "[Serling] and other writers of his time—TV's golden age of live productions—defined 'an American art that' will never be again' in the 1950s. Among others recalling Serling are his widow Carol, daughters Jodi and Anne, as well as various associates and actors, including Jack Klugman. Another high point: readings from Serling's memoirs.
