text: Zoe Jensen (Michael Learned) is looking for a job as a teacher in San Francisco after having moved from her small-town in Nebraska after her divorce. There are no full-time permanent positions, so the lady in the official bureau of education recommends her to polish off her skills and take up any temporary assignments which may arise until her big opportunity arises.Back home, with a haid towel around her hair, after having had a shower, Zoe types and types. It's boring and repetivie. She sighs.Later, she attends to a party. She's decided to join her local church and sing in the choir. She tells her friend Inez (Ruth Nelson) that she hasn't found a teaching job yet. Some lady is advising somebody else not to quit the choir altogether, as she enjoys it so much, and she can't stay all day at hospital working. Her friend introduces Zoe to Muriel Moore (Valerie Curtin), who asks about Zpe's civil status. Zoe that she's signed her divorce papers that very same week, and that she's beginning to enjoy the freedom it's brought her. The next day she's going to hit the pavement again in search of a job.The new choir master has agreed to come out of retirement for some time. He's dealt with all kind of music, and doesn't expect perfection, so this year is going to be more enjoyable, says the Reverend Matt Lohman (James Cromwell) to all the ladies. Everybody claps when Ephraim Adams (John Houseman) is introduced. Adams' vocation is music. For him, music is difficult, worthy of the effort they are about to make and a crafty activity. He even recommends those people who are looking for a relaxing passtime to go somewhere else. He intends to sing Handel in a quality way. He also introduces to Seth Reuben (Ed Bogas), who will work with him playing the piano.The choir is a bit chaotic at the beginning. He recommends them to open their mouths fully. Muriel looks a bit lost. However, it's clear that Zoe is enjoying herself immensely.Back home, she is lonely in a dark flat. Her nosy neighbour who lives downstairs asks her about the letter she's just received: it's from her son. She wants to bring him to Frisco as soon as possible. The neighbour tells Zoe about a bachelor, but Zoe says she's not like Muriel, to which she laughs. In fact, Zoe looks completely uninterested when, at the office, a male colleague (Steve Prescott Jones) asks her to have a snack with him. She says she's just had a sandwich.Back home, in her almost empty flat, Zoe talks to her mother and to her son. She says that she's paying her bills with her temporary office job, but that there are no teaching jobs in San Francisco. As her mother insists, Zoe tells her that she's dating a "Jack" - referring to the pumpkin she's decorating at the moment.The choir member which left returns again, eager to give it another try. Adams offers a job to a tramp. Adams says that even when the song lyrics talk about sheep going astray, the singers did not to illustrate the point. He says that the auditions for the solo parts will be public this year. One of the male singers, Henry Quist (Ramon Bieri) complain, but Admas says that if they wish to sing Handel's [i] Messiah[(i] solo they can get into their own close at home and sing it there, but Adams says that if he can't sing in front of the choir members, he won't be able to sing in the church in front of 100 people.Muriel calls on Zoe and recommends herself to help her decorate her tiny flat. They go out to a bar. Muriel wants to go to the cinema afterwards, but Zoe doesn't feel like it. Muriel asks to the hand-in-waiting to bring her something "inside a pineapple", and as she's drinking her piña colada in the restaurant, some people had given her the odd look. It looks as though Zoe feels that Muriel is imposing herself too much.After the church service, still wearing their choir garments, Zoe talks to Wendell (Calvin Levels), as he looks worried. It's not because of the choir, because he's always on key. Wendell pretty much would like to be left alone. Three young thugs (Yule Caise, Kevin Harris and Rob Rivers) appear, and they pick on Wendell. Zoe realises the situation. They call Wendell a monkey, which starts a street fight. The rest of the people separate them.Wendell is in the kitchen. His grandmother (Beah Richards) enters and rudely asks what he's doing at home. He mutters something about his exams. She asks him suspiciously what he's drinking, but it's only coffee. Wendell wants Grandma to stop paying for everything, but she doesn't want him to go to night school or look for a job: studying is more important, and meanwhile, she'll be the only one working and paying the bills. But she insists that he's her only hope for a better future, so that she'll do as much for him as she wants, in spite of being 70 years old and having to clean offices all night.Audition night. Mr Loop (Lou Picetti) refuses to stand up, because he's past it, but he winks at Inez saying that he's not past some other things. Conceited Mrs Evangeline Burns (Anne Lawder) does a good auditon. Shyly, Mrs Maisie Kim (Daisietta Kim) does her audition for the soprano solo part. Obviously, Maisie Kim is much better than Evangeline. Everybody is amazed at her. Evangeline tells her afterwards that she should keep on practicing "among her people", because she is showing real promise.Zoe's mother keeps pestering on her through the phone: the son was two hours late back home because he hasn't got his mother to watch him; Zoe won't be able to visit on Thanksgiving due to her lack of funds. Zoe is working in the third office that week. She hangs up on her mother because she keeps on telling her to go back to their little town, where a teaching job could be easily given to her. Zoe keeps on typing and doesn't pick up the phone when her mother insists.Terry Lohman (David Knell) is a seventeen-yeared-old cute blond boy who's helping at a wedding party given to the choir members. His mother says that she misses snow during Christmastime as well. Alice Lohman (Roberta callahan) notices - and tells her husband - that Muriel has stolen a piece of silver cutlery, putting it inside her clutch. They comment that Muriel needs a husband urgently, until things get out of hand with her, but they don't do anything to stop her behaiviour. Terry doesn't want to appear on the wedding photograph, but he's forced to.Henry and Zoe go hike-hiking to the woods surrounding San Francisco. They dance together at a kind of Oktoberfest. Zoe's feet hurt afterwards. Henry says that she should have gold him sooner. Zoe hugs him. Henry gets too carried away, so Zoe rejects him. Henry Quist leaves immediately.Finally, the choir seems to be improving. Will Connolly gets to be the bass soloist; Mr. Jefferson (John Patton) has got the tenor solo. The alto soloist (Gail MacGowan) receives everybody's congratulations. Maisie wins the soprano solo. Evangeline tries to sing as if in a solo during a particular section, so Adams tells her off, stating that there are no solos. Evangeline Burns gets up in a frenzy, tells them that they are a bunch of amateurs, throws the music book to Ephraim and leaves in tears. Ephraim tells everybody that Mrs Burns was right, because they are amateurs, but that doesn't define the quality of their work. Amateurs do things for the love of something, not because of wages or because they are crappy to be professional.Hartley Wood (William Swetland) invited some of the choir members to his ship. Wendell and Grandma go with him. She walks with difficulty. They are celebrating Thanksgiving Day. There is an uncomfortable moment between Henry and Zoe. They ask Mrs Curtiss - Grandma - why she doesn't join the choir, as Wendell says she's got a wonderful voice. Mrs Curtiss teaches them a popular song.Rehearsals go on. Muriel is told off because she didn't take notes of the numbers in the measures in a particular part of the music. Ephraim asks Mr Goodman (Jay Krohnengold), who has written them, but speaks soft and meekly. Adams' shouting seems to scare Mr Goodman, everybody looks at the music teacher, startled. There are only four weeks before the acting. Another office worker (Carol McElheney) talks with Zoe about her daughter. Terry wants to borrow Lohman's car for Wednesday night. The Reverend asks him whether he's volunteered, and Terry, uninterested, tells him that he'll do so some other time. The Reverend has already forgotten his son and keeps looking onto the bills and documents.Mrs. Dienhart (Jane Frasier-Smith) is called to have a chat with Ephraim, and she is terrified about it. Ephraim thanks for a jar of marmalade she's given him. He wants to expell her from the choir because her voice has got worse with age. She offers herself to be an assistant of him; she talks with enthusiasm. Mrs Dienhart tells him that she wishes he'd never be told to stop doing something he really loves, like teaching music, because he wouldn't be able to take it.The Lohmans go to hospital. The Reverend tries to console his wife because the illness is back in full force, and treatment has only decreased the level of pain. She ends up hitting him in desperation. The Reverend Lohman cries at the church on his own.A lot of money is needed to to repair the organ. The technician recommends to use an electronic organ, which would be cheaper. Ephraim Adams opposes the move, but the church has no money or time to repair the organ before Christmas. The seller tells them that they can give the electronic organ a try for two months free of charge. Obviously, when the technician appears to demonstrate it, it's not quite the same thing, although Seth Reuben was the only one who looked eager to give it a try. Seth plays the organ and makes it sound almost as a normal organ.During the following mass, there are radio interferences from the organ which interrupt the Reverend's sermon and make the parishioners laugh. Ephraim shrugs and takes it as one more proof that the electronic organ is a bad idea. Later, in the office, his wife tells Lohman that that was his best sermon. Terry is helpint them out. Muriel appears and tells Lohman that it was Wendell Curtiss who vandalized the organ. Lohman doesn't fully believe Muriel, who allegedly saw it happen. Muriel says that the police are questioning Wendell at that police station, and that they have told her that she has acted very responsibly.Wendell is very distraught. He says that Muriel is crazy: she saw him leaving the church late at night because he had been practicing. Wendell is worried about how his grandma's gonna take the news.Detective West (Tony Dario) thinks that Wendell is guilty, although Lohman is not so sure. Terry appears and confesses. His mother thinks it must have been a blackout, or something, but Terry rejects that easy way out as explanation. He felt with energy, and wonders whether the church belongs to them, as they live there. The reverend Lohman gets frantic because Terry has destroyed all their lives' work.Choir members try to repair the original organ themselves. When the job is done, Ephraim Adams is given an unexpected surprise. The organ and the choir sound beautifully.Zoe's mother phones Zoe urgently, as Zoe's son has disappeared. Robbie (Matthew Hautau) appears with an angry taxi driver (Joe Bellan), demanding his money. Zoe embraces him and doesn't tell him off. Robbie plays with a yo-yo while his mother rehearses. Robbie says he'd rather have his parents together again, and his father says it was Zoe who wanted the divorce, not him.Lohman speaks to Wendell Curtiss, asking for pardon. They invite him to a Friday party. Zoe wonders why Wendell isn't angry, as he's got every right to be. Zoe urges Wendell to get his anger out, because what happened was utterly unfair. Zoe seems to be flirting with a man at that party.Adams gives a present to Mrs Dienhart because of her efforts in behalf of the choir. In the kitchen, Muriel tells Wendell that she only said what she saw, but he dismisses her, saying that she should get free of the anger she feels. Ephraim Adams loosens up a bit and sings a ridiculous song. Adams feels bad and has a heart attack. Mrs Dienhart brings Seth, Zoe and the rest coffee at the waiting room. Seth shouts that he's dying while they've having some coffee. The doctor (Mark Anger) appears and confirms that it was a stroke. The simplest option for everybody would be to cancel. Seth doesn't feel up to the challenge of stepping in and taking control. Zoe uses one of her "Nebraska's expressions", and all of them tell it to Seth, who will finally take control, with Mrs Dienhart turning the pages for him.The day of the premiere, Ephraim Adams attends in a wheelchair with a blanket over his legs. Terry enters the church later on, with the concert began. The Reverend approaches him.Maisie's voice shines on her solo. The concert proceeds on, with Wendell's grandma and Robbie happily watching.---written by KrystelClaire

Aspiring news producer Becky Fuller has dreamed since childhood of working for the Today show, but her dedication to her career is off-putting to potential suitors. After being laid off from her job at the local Good Morning New Jersey, her mother advises her to give up her dream before it becomes an embarrassment. However, Becky perseveres, sending many different rÃ©sumÃ©s out. She finally receives a call from IBS, which is looking for a producer on its struggling national morning show, DayBreak.
After a discouraging job interview with Jerry Barnes, who dismisses both her and DayBreak as also-rans, Becky bumps into one of her heroes, veteran television journalist Mike Pomeroy in an elevator. She is brushed off rudely, but is told by the other passenger that this is just typical of Mike. Seemingly against his better judgement, Jerry hires Becky to be DayBreak's executive producer. On her first day, Becky realizes she has signed on to a show in turmoil, lacking in direction and money. After meeting the acerbic but long-suffering co-host Colleen Peck, who predicts Becky's demise, she fires the conceited co-host Paul McVee, much to the delight of her co-workers. Becky chooses a reluctant Mike as Colleen's new co-host. Mike is under contract to IBS, but has managed to mostly escape being utilized while still getting paid. Becky finds a clause in his contract by which he is obliged to accept an official job offer or lose his salary, effectively blackmailing him into accepting the position.
Becky gets to know Adam Bennett, another IBS producer who had worked with Mike previously. After initially teaming up to deal with Mike, they begin dating, and he is initially supportive of her dedication to her job. Pomeroy proves to be hard going, throwing his weight about, trying to sabotage his debut on the show by getting drunk, refusing to banter with Colleen on air, and ensuring he only does serious news stories by making use of a clause in his contract that allows him to refuse certain assignments, like cooking segments, that he considers beneath him. As ratings begin to drop, Becky is told that DayBreak may be canceled.
After a heated confrontation with Mike, Becky snaps and decides on a radical approach to save the show. She improves ratings by persuading Ernie to do the weather while doing stunts, such as riding a new Six Flags roller coaster. Colleen also expresses a keen interest in Becky's campaign to rejuvenate the show, and appears on a number of colorful segments that help the show's ratings. Jerry remains unconvinced that Becky can get the ratings up enough to stave off cancellation. Adam, not realizing what is on the line, teases Becky about how caught up she is in improving the ratings, but she sees it as a criticism that she has heard from previous men, and walks out. Mike tells her that he was once the same way, but ended up with no life outside of work.
During a staff meeting, Pomeroy shows interest in doing a story, surprising colleagues. Becky goes along but realizes that he is going to the governor's summer house instead of the destination she expected. Mike ends up confronting the governor on charges of racketeering, and breaks the story of his arrest on live television. This increases DayBreak's ratings enough to secure another year for the show. Due to DayBreak's rise in popularity, Becky receives a job interview from Today. During the interview, DayBreak is on. Between segments, Colleen tells Mike about the interview, and that his refusal to adapt has driven Becky away. He goes to the kitchen where food segments are done. Becky watches in shock as Pomeroy tells the viewers how to make a good frittata. Becky runs back to the set and decides to remain at DayBreak.

text: The film is set in British South Africa, in the province of Natal, in January 1879. The first half of the film revolves around the administrators and officials of Cape Colony, notably the supremely arrogant Lord Chelmsford (Peter O'Toole) and the scheming Sir Henry Bartle Frere (John Mills), who both wish to crush the neighbouring Zulu Empire, which is perceived as a threat to Cape Colony's emerging industrial economy. Bartle Frere issues an impossible ultimatum to the Zulu king, Cetshwayo (Simon Sabela), demanding that he dissolve the Zulu Empire. Cetshwayo refuses, providing Cape Colony with a pretext to invade Zululand. Despite objections from leading members of Cape Colony's high society and from Great Britain itself, Bartle Frere authorises Lord Chelmsford to lead a British invasion force into Zululand.The second half of the film focuses on the British invasion of Zululand and the lead-up to the climatic Battle of Isandlwana. The invading British army, laden with an immense network of supply wagons, invades Zululand and marches in the direction of Ulundi, the Zulu capital. British forces, eager to fight a large battle in which they can unleash their cutting-edge firearm military technology against the vast Zulu army, become increasingly frustrated as the main Zulu army refuses to attack the British, and fighting is restricted to a few small skirmishes between British and Zulu scouts.Concerned that their supply lines are becoming overstretched and that the main Zulu army is still at large, British troops begin torturing captive Zulu warriors in an effort to learn the location and tactics of the Zulu army. Halfway to Ulundi, Chelmsford halts his army at the base of Mount Isandhlwana, ignoring the advice of Boer attendants to entrench the camp and laager the supply wagons, leaving the camp dangerously exposed. During the night, Colonel Durnford (Burt Lancaster) and an escort of 50 mounted Basutos approach the camp. Lord Chelmsford then orders Durnford to return to his unit, bringing them to the camp immediately to reinforce Colonel Pulleine (Denholm Elliott). Lt. Vereker (Simon Ward) should join Durnford as aide-de-camp.Reacting to false intelligence, Chelmsford leads half of the British army, including the best infantry, cavalry and artillery units, on a wild goose chase far from the camp, in pursuit of a phantom Zulu army. On the day of battle (January 22), Durnford and his troops are arriving at 11:00 a.m. at the camp at Isandlwana. Meanwhile, the Zulu captives escape their torturers and regroup with the Zulu army, informing them of the British army's direction and strength. After having lunch with Colonel Pulleine and Lt. Vereker, Durnford quickly decides to send Vereker to scout the hills. Durnford then decides to take his own command out from the camp too, and scout the iNyoni heights.The entire Zulu army is later discovered by men of Lt. Vereker's troop of scouts, who chase a number of Zulu herdsmen, trying to hurry away their cattle, only to discover the main Zulu enemy force of thousands at the bottom of a valley. Lt. Vereker then sends Lt. Raw to warn the camp that it is about to be attacked.As Zulu impis descend upon the camp, Durnford's cavalry retreat to a donga in an effort to hold back the Zulu advance. Forced back, the British take heavy casualties, including the battery of Congreve rockets, which is overrun by the Zulus. Initially, the British infantry succeed in defending the camp, and Zulu forces retreat under a hail of artillery and small arms fire. British units defending the camp are now becoming dangerously spread-out, and are oblivious to Zulu forces moving round the sides of the mountain in an encircling move.As British infantrymen begin to run out of ammunition and the British cavalry are driven back towards the camp, Zulu warriors charge the British troops en masse, sustaining horrific casualties, but succeed in breaking the British lines. As British troops break and flee towards the camp, the battle breaks down into hand-to-hand fighting between British soldiers and Zulu warriors, amongst the débris of tents, fallen soldiers and supply wagons. Overwhelmed by the sheer number of Zulu warriors, British soldiers and their African allies are slaughtered in the camp, some being cut down as they attempt to flee back towards Natal. Colour-Sergeant-Major Williams (Bob Hoskins) sees many of his redcoated men being cut down by Zulu spears. Williams is stabbed in the back by a spear while attempting to save the life of one of his young soldiers, and having killed several Zulu soldiers with his bayonet after he runs out of ammo, dies at the hands of a large band of Zulus.As the British forces break apart, the one-armed Durnford becomes trapped in the camp. Hoping to save his men, Durnford orders his African cavalrymen to retreat. Remaining on foot at the battlefield, Durnford is killed alongside his infantrymen.During the last minutes of the battle, Colonel Pulleine entrusts the Queen's Colours of the 2nd battalion, 24th Regiment of Foot to two junior officers, Lts. Melvill (James Sebastian Faulkner) and Coghill (Christopher Cazenove), who attempt to carry them to safety in Natal, passing gruesome scenes as Zulu warriors hunt down British and African infantrymen attempting to flee across the river. While crossing the Buffalo River, the three lieutenants are cut down by Zulus. Coghill accompanies Melvill in his attempt to gallop the Union Flag back towards Natal. When Melvill nearly drowns while trying to cross the Buffalo River, Coghill turns to help him, and is ambushed by Zulu warriors. Coghill attempts to defend himself with his revolver, but is killed. Melvill is assegaied by Zulu warriors while defending the flag.The Colours (a Union Flag embroidered with the Regiment's insignia) are captured. In his dying moments, Vereker shoots and kills the Zulu wielding the Colours, and the Colours fall gracefully into the river, where they are carried out of reach. Vereker's fate remains unknown (though it is implied that he too gets killed).Seeing the battle lost, Pulleine returns to his tent to pen a last letter to his wife. He is discovered by one of the escaped Zulu prisoners and, unwilling to kill the young soldier, the elderly Pulleine allows himself to be killed in his tent by the Zulu and other warriors that storm in.In the evening, Chelmsford and the rest of the British army return to Isandlwana, to be greeted by the sight of their slaughtered comrades, and the news that a mass Zulu army has invaded Natal and laid siege to Rorke's Drift. Charles L. Norris-Newman (Ronald Lacey), a war correspondent for 'The Standard' also views the devastation (having accompanyed Chelmsford's expecition and so avoid the battle/massacre. The film ends with Zulu warriors in a silhouetted victory procession, dragging captured British artillery back to Ulundi.
