  • Overview

    Bob Adams, ace newsreel cameraman, is told by his boss, "Get the picture---we can't screen alibis." He heads for Samari, a desert hot-bed of tribal unrest in Africa, to do just that, which includes getting footage of El Kadar, bandit and rebel leader. He gets his pictures but only after a romance with the Colonel's daughter Pamela, saving his wimpy, hacked-off brother Don from being a dupe of the gun-runners, and run-ins with spies and throat-cutting tribesman. For a finale, he saves the British Army.

Secrets of the Dead - Shroud of Christ?(en)

In a central part of Turn Cathedral is an elaborate, baroque shrine housing one of the Catholic Church's most precious and controversial artifacts: a 15-foot-long piece of cloth known as the Turn Shroud. Its surface bears, in faint shades of brown, the unmistakable image of a man. For its dedicated believers, known as the "Shroudies," this image is that of Jesus Christ himself, burnt onto the cloth upon his miraculous resurrection image from the dead. But the debate over the shroud's origins has raged furiously since its first documented appearance in Lirey, France, in the 1350s.
