Akim Tamiroff, Michael Redgrave, Orson Welles, Paola Mori, Robert ArdenOriginally produced by Film Movement in 1955.The enigmatic Gregory Arkadin (Orson Welles) is more complex than Charles Foster Kane, but equally as wealthy, though the source of his fortune is highly questionable. The Wellesian plot device is Guy Van Stratten, a penny ante cigarette smuggler who starts up a romance with Arkadin’s daughter, Raina, in order to meet Arkadin. When Arkadin confronts Van Stratten with a dossier he has compiled on him to stop him from seeing his daughter, Van Stratten has achieved his goal. But Arkadin outsmarts him by getting Van Stratten to compile a confidential report on himself under the pretense that Arkadin is a little foggy on how he got to be who he is and figures he has made some enemies along the way. When the characters Van Stratten interviews all end up dead, Van Stratten fears that he, too, knows too much for his own good. He saves his own neck by getting back together with Raina, the one person Arkadin doesn’t dare touch.Mode of access: World Wide Web.

The beekeeper : rescuing the stolen women of Iraq / by Mīkhāʼīl, Dunyā,1965-author,translator.; Weiss, Max,1977-translator.; translation of:Mīkhāʼīl, Dunyā,1965-Fi Suq Al-sabaya by Almutawassit.English.;
"Since 2014, Daesh (ISIS) has been brutalizing the Yazidi people of northern Iraq: sowing destruction, killing those who won't convert to Islam, and enslaving young girls and women. The Beekeeper, by the acclaimed poet and journalist Dunya Mikhail, tells the harrowing stories of several women who managed to escape the clutches of Daesh. Mikhail extensively interviews these women--who've lost their families and loved ones, who've been repeatedly sold, raped, psychologically tortured, and forced to manufacture chemical weapons--and as their tales unfold, an unlikely hero emerges: a beekeeper, who uses his knowledge of the local terrain, along with a wide network of transporters, helpers, and former cigarette smugglers, to bring these women, one by one, through the war-torn landscapes of Iraq, Syria, and Turkey, back into safety. In the face of inhuman suffering, this powerful work of nonfiction offers a counterpoint to Daesh's genocidal extremism: hope, as ordinary people risk their lives to save those of others"--

Seventeen years ago, Criminal Inspector Ewert Grens was called to the scene of a brutal crime. A family had been murdered, and the only survivor--and witness--was the five-year-old daughter. The girl was placed in the witness protection program, and the case went cold, but years later, Grens is still haunted by the seemingly random slaying, and the little girl who was spared. So when he learns that the apartment where the crime occurred is now the scene of a mysterious break-in, Grens immediately fears that someone is intent on silencing the only witness. He races to find her ... before they do. Meanwhile, someone in the city's criminal underworld is executing weapons smugglers, and has placed former police informant Piet Hoffman's family in grave danger. He must unravel the secret threat to his family, all while keeping secrets of his own. Soon his hunt for answers intertwines with Ewert's, and the two men find themselves in the middle of a criminal conspiracy that is more complicated--and dangerous--than they could have imagined.
