Trivial Tuesday

Ok, I haven't been doing this recently, so let's try to get back in the swing of things.

I'm going to steal a page out of Danielle's book here. I'll give you the description from the back of DVD cases and you have to tell me what the movie is. Simple, right?

1. After returning from World War II, a young GI finds that he has little in common with the wife he left behind. Disillusioned, he heads north to work as a travelling salesman. There he meets the daughter of a wealthy vineyard owner. On her way home, she is terrified of what her domineering father will do when he learns she is unmarried and pregnant. the young man gallantly offers to help by posing as her husband for one night, unaware that doing so will change both their lives forever.

2. When (character) leaves to seek his fortune, his true love is captured by an evil prince. Will he return in time to save her? Can he battle wizards, warriors and pirates set in his way? You'll find out in this "wonderfully inventive" film for all ages!

3. Using the style and technique that were to make him famous, (Director) gained immediate audience sympathy for the plight of his central character, an innocent Canadian who, while visiting England, is implicated in the theft of natural secrets and murder. The music hall sequence with the remarkable memory act is unforgettable. A (Director) masterpiece!

Tell me the movies in comments section and impress your friends.

3. Does it involve Owen Wilson and/or Jackie Chan? No? Then I have no idea. :D

I got the first two also, but I can't think of a movie with a music hall sequence.

So what's the answer?

Sorry, I forgot to update this. The movie that no one was able to get was Alfred Hitchcock's The 39 Steps. Unfortunately, the description was completely vague and could have been just about anything.
