This two-pack features filmmaking master Alfred Hitchcock directing lesser-known stories about wayward women seeking a place to call home. Set in 19th-century Cornwall, JAMAICA INN (based on the novel by Daphne Dumaurier) features a young orphan who visits her aunt only to discover she is residing in a haven for throat-slashing pirates. A period melodrama, the film features Maureen O`Hara in one of her earlier roles. In the second film, EASY VIRTUE, a music-score-enhanced silent film follows the circuitous path of a woman`s love life beginning with an older abusive husband. After divorcing the rogue, she carries on an affair with a young painter and then marries a sweet young man who knows nothing of her past. Hitchcock uses crafted fades, close-ups, and dolly shots that anticipate the modern zoom lens. EASY VIRTUE is based on the play by Noel Coward, with a script by Hitchcock`s longtime collaborator, Eliot Stannard.

Based on the book of the same name, I DREAMED OF AFRICA is the true story of Kuki Gallman (Kim Basinger), a wealthy Italian socialite whose life changes abruptly after a near fatal car crash. Vowing to appreciate her life more deeply, she agrees to marry Paolo Gallman (Vincent Perez), a man she does not know well, and sets off with her young son, Emmanuelle (Liam Aiken), for a new life in the countryside of Kenya. A cattle ranch in the Lakipani region of Kenya becomes the Gallmans' new home, far away from the creature comforts of their posh household in Italy. Kuki is beset with the daily challenges of life in Africa, including harsh weather, dangerous animals, and the absence of her husband, who spends days away hunting with his new friends. Forced to face many challenges alone, Kuki experiences a cultural awakening, inspired by an intense and emotional connection to the land, animals, and rhythm of Africa. Finding her new purpose in life, Kuki becomes an activist for endangered African animals, most notably elephants and rhinoceroses. Her resulting battles with those opposing her ideas provide the greatest conflicts in this inspiring and lyrical film that features an impassioned performance by Basinger. Director Hugh Hudson effectively captures the breathtaking beauty of both the African landscape and the animals that Kuki dedicated her life to help save.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CasePan& Scan - 1.33Anamorphic Widescreen - 2.35Dual Side - Single LayerAudio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Trailers - 1.

John Frankenheimer's brilliant adaptation of Richard Condon's Cold-War satire, THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE is the director's best film, both a coruscating thriller and a razor-sharp satire of political hysteria that captures the turbulent mood of the 1960s. Packed with sly details, such as the liberal senator bleeding milk when he's shot, the film demands repeated viewings.Laurence Harvey stars as Sergeant Raymond Shaw, whose U.S. army unit is captured while fighting in Korea, taken to Manchuria, and brainwashed by Chinese communists. The men return to the U.S. with no conscious memory of their experience, and Shaw is awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for bravery. But when Captain Bennett Marco (Frank Sinatra) starts having nightmares, he begins an authorized investigation into what happened in Manchuria and eventually reveals that the sergeant's brainwashing has transformed him into an unconscious assassin who can be triggered by his communist controllers at will. Although Sinatra is slightly miscast as a tortured intellectual, Harvey and the remaining cast are excellent, as is Richard Sylbert's inventively designed brainwashing sequence, Lionel Lindon's extraordinary depth-of-field camerawork, and David Amram's witty, neoclassical score.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseLetterboxed - 1.75Pan& Scan - 1.33Dual Side - Single LayerAudio: Dolby Digital Stereo - English Dolby Digital Stereo - French Dolby Digital Stereo - SpanishAdditional Release Material: Production Interview - 1.
