- DirectorHobart HenleyStarsDolores CostelloH.B. WarnerWarren William"Expensive Women" is a 1931 Pre-Code talking film drama directed by silent-film veteran Hobart Henley and stars Dolores Costello. It was Costello's final film as a leading lady and star for Warners, with which she had been since 1925. She retired to be the wife of John Barrymore and raise their family. Costello would return to films five years later after a long hiatus and the end of her marriage to Barrymore, but never regained the luster she enjoyed as a WB star. Many contemporary critics commented that this one had been an unfortunate choice for her return to the screen after a two-year absence.

- DirectorLorie ConwayStarsElliott GouldAlan KrautHoward MarkelFrom PBS - Visit the abandoned immigrant hospital on Ellis Island. During the great wave of immigration, 22 medical buildings sprawled across two islands adjacent to Ellis Island, the largest port of entry to the United States. Massive and modern, the hospital was America's first line of defense against contagious, often virulent, disease. In the era before antibiotics, tens of thousands of immigrant patients were separated from family, detained in the hospital and healed from illness before becoming citizens. FORGOTTEN ELLIS ISLAND is a powerful reminder of the best -- and worst -- of America's dealings with its new citizens-to-be. Elliott Gould narrates.
