I am trying to find the title of a movie that I saw when I was young. Could be in the mid 50's. I only remember a short I only remember a short scene, but it has left a lasting impression with me.It was probably an adventure type movie.

A man trying to escape from either natives or? He tries to find refuge in a hut or run down building, slams the old door shut, slumps to the ground behind the door, peers through the keyhole or a hole in the door see's his adversaries still pursuing him. Reaches into his shirt pocket and pulls out his last bullet.

Put's it into the keyhole or hole in the door. Picks up a rock or broken brick beside him and hits the bullet. Fireing it and killing one of the attackers.

Thanks for any help trying to find the title of this movie. Asked by fuzzylogic 32 months ago Similar questions: find title movie young mid 50's remember short Entertainment > Movies.

Cyrano de Bergerac (1950) is a black-and-white feature film based on the 1897 French Alexandrine verse drama Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand.It uses poet Brian Hooker's 1923 English blank verse translation as the basis for its screenplay.1 The film was the first motion picture version in English of Rostand's play, though there were several earlier adaptations in different languages.

The 1950 film was produced by Stanley Kramer and directed by Michael Gordon. José Ferrer received the Academy Award for Best Actor for his starring performance as Cyrano de Bergerac. Mala Powers played Roxane, and William Prince portrayed Christian de Neuvillette.

The film is now in the public domain, and is available in both VHS and DVD formats. In seventeenth century Paris, poet and supreme swordsman Cyrano de Bergerac (José Ferrer) stops a play from being shown because he cannot stand the bombastic style of the principal actor, Montfleury (Arthur Blake). An annoyed aristocratic fop, the Vicomte de Valvert (Albert Cavens), provokes him into a duel by tritely insulting Cyrano's enormous nose.

Cyrano first mocks his lack of wit, improvising numerous inventive ways in which Valvert could have phrased it (much to the amusement of the audience). He then composes a ballade for the occasion on the spot and recites it during the swordfight. With the last line, he dispatches his opponent.

Cyrano's friend Le Bret (Morris Carnovsky), Captain of the Gascony guards, warns him he has made powerful enemies of his victim's friends, but he is unconcerned. When Le Bret presses him to reveal the real reason he hates Montfleury, Cyrano admits that he became jealous when he saw his beautiful cousin Roxane (Mala Powers) being smiled at by the actor. He confesses that he is in love with her, but harbors no hope of it being returned because of his nose.

When he receives a request from Roxane to see her in the morning, he is finally emboldened to act. Then pastry chef and fellow poet Ragueneau (Lloyd Corrigan) approaches him for help. Ragueneau has learned that a nobleman he had mocked with his verses, the Comte De Guiche (Ralph Clanton), has hired a hundred ruffians to teach him a lesson.

Cyrano escorts him, kills eight of the horde, and drives off the rest. The next day, before he can tell Roxane of his feelings, she informs him that she has fallen in love with a handsome guardsman, Christian de Neuvillette (William Prince), though she has not even spoken to him. Cyrano hides his devastation and agrees to help her.

Cyrano befriends the young man and discovers that he is infatuated with Roxane, but is too inept with words to woo her. To help him, Cyrano composes Christian's love letters to Roxane, which she finds irresistible. Later, Christian decides he wants no more help and tries to speak to Roxane, listening from her balcony, but fails miserably; Cyrano, hiding in the bushes, has to come to his rescue.

He is so eloquent that Roxane invites Christian into her house. When the arrogant Comte De Guiche, who is also wooing Roxane, pressures Roxane to marry him, Cyrano delays him long enough for her to wed Christian. Furious, De Guiche, Christian's commander, orders him to join his unit immediately for a war against the Spanish.

De Guiche's heroism at the battle site wins the admiration of Cyrano, who had previously despised him. Roxane visits her husband in camp and lets slip that she fell in love with him not merely for his looks but because of his words. Realizing that she really loves Cyrano, Christian gets his rival to agree to tell Roxane the truth and let her decide between them.

But before the opportunity arises, Christian volunteers for a dangerous mission and is fatally wounded, silencing Cyrano. Years pass, with Cyrano visiting Roxane weekly.De Guiche, who has also befriended Roxane, has overheard a courtier plotting against Cyrano, who has continued to write satirical articles mocking the nobility, and warns her that Cyrano's life may be in danger. One night, Cyrano is lured into an ambush; the poet is run down by a carriage.

Near death, he hides his injuries and goes to keep his appointment with Roxane for the last time. S secret love for Roxane is finally revealed when he recites from memory one of the love letters she has kept, but it is too late. Cyrano first slips into delirium, then dies, leaving Roxane to mourn a second time.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
