Ernie Kovacs -- The Silent Show
The brilliantly innovative, tragically short-lived, legendary Ernie Kovacs -- he died in a car crash two months after this TV episode aired -- was one of the greatest comic talents America ever produced.
This 1961 TV special is entirely silent -- including the commercials. Kovacs created a Chaplinesque character called Eugene and supplied him with gags reminiscent of Keaton, Harold Lloyd, Harpo Marx and even Looney Tunes.

Intruder In The Dust
In 1940s Mississippi, a proud and defiant black man is accused of murder, and a teenage boy, his lawyer father, and a gossipy spinster try to protect him from lynching.
Well made social problem film (and yes, the storyline bears a suspicious resemblance to the later To Kill A Mockingbird). But IMHO this is most notable for the fact that it was shot on location in Oxford, giving us priceless views of places like The Square as they were in 1949.
The world premiere in Oxford:
William Faulkner with director Clarence Brown (center):
BONUS: A short film showing Faulkner in Oxford, chatting with locals. Originally aired on the TV series Omnibus in 1952.
