Church Mouse The DVD
Wish fulfillment meets wit in a sassy, sophisticated 1934 comedy that told a girl how to succeed in business in an era when success meant marrying the boss, not nabbing the corner office. Blonde charmer Laura La Plante (in one of her last films in a career that included her reign as one of the silent screen’s leading stars) goes dowdy in the title role, playing meek Betty Miller, who’s much better at dictation than flirtation. In fact, she’s just what banker Johnathan Steele (Ian Hunter) wants – someone who won’t take his mind off business. Then Betty meets Steele’s va-va-voom previous secretary (and current mistress) and learns what a splash of perfume and personality can do for a girl, especially one with a promotion to Mrs. on her mind!

Tarzan s Greatest Adventure DVD
The mighty Lord of the Apes (Gordon Scott) is on a deadly trail. He’s determined to find the diamond hunters (including Anthony Quayle and Sean Connery) who brought terror and death to a peaceful village. But as much as Tarzan is a tracker and avenger, he’s also a protector. An irresponsible gadfly from the so-called civilized world intrudes on his quest and Tarzan knows he cannot leave her to fend for herself. Tarzan’s Greatest Adventure is widely applauded as one of the best and most grownup films in the entire film annals of the jungle lord’s exploits. It’s “a superior action yarn shot on location in Africa, more adult than most of its predecessors. Tarzan has a much expanded vocabulary� (Leonard Maltin’s Movie Guide).

Robert Young is John and five-year-old Duse Margaret O’Brien is Margaret in an acclaimed wartime drama that is both tender and urgent, a sensitive film that never falls prey to sentiment thanks to the skill of director Maj. W.S. Van Dyke II (The Thin Man), the delightful rapport between Young and the children and the power of a fact-based story that transcends its era to speak to the universal need for family.

Ambush DVD
The U.S. Cavalry knows that traveling the unmapped Arizona Territory canyons and trails in search of a woman kidnapped by Apaches could mean riding into a trap. So they ask the help of Ward Kinman, a prospector and scout who knows both the terrain and the ways of the warring tribesmen. Nearly a decade after Billy the Kid, Robert Taylor saddled up a second time and portrayed Kinman in Ambush, the film that began his steady string of work in a genre that suited him like a Colt .45 tucked easy into hip leather. Marguerite Roberts (True Grit) offers a script filled with blazing action and romantic subplots. Among the co-stars: Chief Thundercloud (Tonto in The Lone Ranger serials of 1938 and 1939).

It’s a rags-to-riches-to-love’s-truer-riches tale, a quintessential example of what the Golden Era called a “woman’s picture.� And reigning throughout is Crawford, going from factory girl to showgirl to fashion model to woman of means – all in stunning haute couture.

Locket The DVD
A gold locket around the neck of a little girl. So sweet, so demure, so unlikely to trigger a nightmare of death and deceit. The Locket is a chilling film noir suffused with the vivid postwar psychological mystery that made films such as Spellbound Bijou favorites. Laraine Day stars as a woman who was denied the locket in childhood and who now turns her charms on man after man as she plots jewel theft after jewel theft…and as theft ultimately leads to murder. The film’s intricate use of flashbacks has earned it cult status. And icon-to-be Robert Mitchum takes an atypical role as a vulnerable artist destroyed by his love for the unstable, emotionally scarred beauty for whom nothing can replace the lost locket.

Meeting Venus DVD
Everything is set for the rehearsal. Nothing can go wrong. Then, in the grandest of entrances, she walks in. She is international star Karin Anderson (Glenn Close). Her arrival adds to conductor Zoltan Szanto’s daily damage control within Opera Europa (“where you can be misunderstood in six different languages�). She and the married maestro soon begin a passionate affair. Life may imitate art. But love and the lunacy it inspires have no rehearsals. Karin and frazzled Zoltan (Niels Arestrup) must figure things out as they go. David Puttnam (Chariots of Fire) produces, István Szabó (Mephisto) directs and Dame Kiri Te Kanawa’s singing voice adorns this comedy of life, love, art and happiness – pursued not in that order but all at once. Romantic comedy at its finest, Meeting Venus is destined for curtain calls!

That Certain Woman DVD Remastered
Married to a gangster at 15…widowed by the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre…remarried to a playboy… forsaken…left to raise her baby alone: Mary Donnell (Bette Davis) leads the kind of three-hanky life just made for a prestige ’30s melodrama. Besides showcasing one of her most subtle and moving portrayals, That Certain Woman marks important firsts for Davis. It was her first film with Henry Fonda, her co-star in the following year’s celebrated Jezebel. And it was the first time she worked with Edmund Goulding, who would guide her in Dark Victory, The Old Maid and The Great Lie. “He was one of Hollywood’s greatest directors,� Davis said in the bestselling biography Mother Goddam by Whitney Stine. “Goulding made me special in this film. I looked really like a ‘movie star.’�

Magician The DVD
The heart blood of a virgin. That’s what deranged medical student Oliver Haddo needs for his malevolent scheme to create life. He finds it in a lovely sculptor he hypnotizes and spirits off to an ancient sorcerer’s tower, preparing to rip her heart from her living body. Filmmaker Rex Ingram (The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse) cast his wife and frequent leading lady Alice Terry and Paul Wegener, who terrified movie audiences in The Golem, in this seminal horror-fantasy film based on a novel by W. Somerset Maugham. Bizarre, nightmarish, enhanced by top production values and elegant European locations, The Magician is a must for any fan of the horror genre – or of imaginative moviemaking.

Prisoner Of Zenda The DVD
Of all tales of gallantry and romance, few are as durable as Andrew Hope’s beloved swashbuckler. There are at least seven screen versions, including this 1922 adaptation featuring some of the era’s most luminous players. Lewis Stone, no stranger to leading-man roles in the 1920s, plays the dual role of a kidnapped king and the look-alike Englishman recruited to fill in for him. The cast includes Barbara La Marr, the exotic and ill-fated looker hailed as “The Girl Who Is Too Beautiful.� And Ramon Novarro, then named Ramon Samaniegos, gives his breakthrough performance as villainous Rupert. Because of his rising stardom, Novarro was top-billed in rereleases of the film, as is the case in this print.
