Married To The Moab

On the run from the mob, an ex-moll stops in a friendly little town in Utah. She is welcomed by, and befriends, most of the townspeople.
To avoid the scutiny of possible mob searchers that come thru, she poses as the wife of random citizens, whoever's closest when guys in double-breasted suits as for directions to the National Park.
They're largely okay with the deception. Some are even into it, rushing to be the closest man at the moment of panic.
At the climactic scene, four men claim to be her husband. She pales, sure they're caught.
"Fuggin' Mormons," the assassin shrugs, and departs.

Bench Ur

A Summerian charioteer, Ur, is disqualified from the races on the day Judah Ben-Hur competes against his rival, Messala. Told in the style of the play, 'Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead.' The Stoppard play concentrates on two 'Hamlet' characters, with 'Hamlet' as a background. This movie follows Ur thru the stadia and neighborhood, with passing glimpses of Judah, Messala, chariot violence, and the director shown briefly in what might be a blue police box.

In an interview later, Charlie was quoted as saying, "Good grief."

Ruin Silent, Ruin Deep

WWII submarine thriller in the Pacific. Thin plot but beautiful cinematography. Every time the USS Dauphin uses the cliched maneuver of sitting on the bottom to escape detection, it's amidst the ruins of some sunken city. Maybe the same city, it's not clear. Weird statues and weirder fish provide an intriguing backdrop to the fairly standard scenes inside the cramped, hot, smelly interior.
Of course, with no windows, the crew never knows the city Is (cities are?) there.
At the end, a weird light shines from a window in the ruins, like a lamp. A stray torpedo hits the building, lamp goes out, screen goes dark...
