Thus, Demetrius and Lysander both want Hermia but she only has eyes for Lysander, while her father wants only Demetrius for his son-in-law. Poor Helena burns hot for Demetrius, who avoids her like the plague. Meanwhile, fairy king Oberon is engaged in a battle of wits with his queen, Titania, and has commanded a trick of Puck, which naturally goes horribly wrong. They are all in the enchanted wood on a midsummer's eve, coming out in the end charged with a gift from the fairies--an enchanted eroticism--that sweeps them away to bed chambers and weddings. The film celebrates love's ability to alter reality while quietly acknowledging that any attempt to portray the feeling of love ultimately falls short.Main titles -- Wedding preparations -- The course of true love -- Casting a play -- Fairies -- Puck's errand -- Helena and Demetrius -- The flower -- Titania's bower -- Lysander and Hermia -- Helena enters -- The rehearsal place -- Puck's trick -- Puck's mistake -- A donkey and a queen -- Helena's lovers -- The cure -- The wood nymphs -- Bottom's dream -- A wedding celebration -- Pyramus and Thisbe -- Fairy time -- Puck's speech -- End titles.

Borch, James McPherson, Thomas R. Turner.MPAA rating: PG-13; for some violent content.In the wake of Abraham Lincoln's assassination, seven men and one woman are arrested and charged with conspiring to kill the President, the Vice-President, and the Secretary of State. The lone woman charged, Mary Surratt, 42, owns a boarding house where John Wilkes Booth and others met and planned the simultaneous attacks. Against the ominous back-drop of post-Civil War Washington, newly-minted lawyer Frederick Aiken, a 28-year-old Union war hero, reluctantly agrees to defend Surratt before a military tribunal. As the trial unfolds, Aiken realizes his client may be innocent and that she is being used as bait and hostage in order to capture the only conspirator to have escaped a massive manhunt--her own son.
