Thanks vat_man!
You prompted me to get a movie that I have been searching for, for quite sometime now.
The movie is called "Billy Budd" (1962) have you heard of it?
The last time that I looked on Amazon, they had no copies of it, but finally they have found some.
It's a very good movie in my opinion. It's in black and white, and is based on a story be Herman Melville.
Below is a review of the movie someone had written:

Reviewer: A viewer from Staten Island, New York United States
Billy Budd ranks as one of the greatest movies of all time. Melville's tale of good vs. evil receives flawless treatment from director Ustinov. Robert Ryan has never been better as the evil Claggert, who epitomizes unredeemable evil. Terence Stamp is perfectly cast as the uncorruptable Budd who wishes to see good in every man, even Claggert. The movie builds to an unforgettable climax and packs an emotional wallop like no other movie I have seen. This version of Billy Budd has been out of print for years. To have it back is a cause of celebration. Do yourself and your family a favor: watch it together. They surely don't make movies like this anymore! -
If you get a chance, pick it up, as if I recall correctly, you have quite the movie collection.
I just bought 1 of the 3 copies that Amazon had.
