While trying to clean up the mess, Eddie also contends with his own sloppy lovelife and bleak future. A low-key riff on the well-worn theme of crime syndicate betrayal and a fascinating look into the little-known traveler lifestyle.DVD Features:Region [unknown]Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Interactive Features: Interactive Menus Scene Access

Based on a novel by H.E. Bates, the 13-part miniseries LOVE FOR LYDIA compellingly recreates the heady abandon of the 1920s Jazz Age through the story of a young girl's transformation from shy teen to wild flapper. Heiress Lydia Aspen (Mel Martin) dances the Charleston as easily as she flits from one lover to the next, among them a struggling young writer (Christopher Blake) who earnestly loves her. The cast also includes Jeremy Irons in one of his earliest major roles, several years before his breakthrough in BRIDESHEAD REVISITED.DVD Features:Region 1Keep Case4-Disc SetFull Frame - 1.33Audio: Dolby Digital - EnglishInteractive Features: Scene Access Interactive MenusText/Photo Galleries: Stills/Photos Filmographies - 1.

He is sent to Switzerland to contact Dr. Katerin Loder, a renowned scientist who has information about the status of German atomic technology, but on arriving in Europe finds the scientist missing, and therefore embarks on on a breakneck journey through Switzerland and Italy, fleeing the Nazi SS and attempting to locate Dr. Polda, who is the last person still alive who can give him the vital nuclear information. Along the way, romance is born between Jasper and a beautiful Italian resistance fighter, Gina.Filmed at the close of World War II, CLOAK AND DAGGER was one of Hollywood's first films to deal with the activities of the OSS during the war. The movie tackled some of Fritz Lang's favorite motifs, including underground espionage, anti-Nazi activity, and psychological warfare. The secret world of the OSS is expertly illustrated through the codes, secret handshakes, fistfights, and shoot-outs that pepper Jasper's transcontinental flight. The drama of the final escape makes CLOAK AND DAGGER one of Lang's most exciting films.DVD Features:Region 0Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Audio: Dolby Digital 2.0 - EnglishInteractive Menus: Interactive Features Scene Access
