Director Frank Lloyd carries forward THE HOWARDS OF VIRGINIA, a grand historical epic about a Virginia couple from differing backgrounds during the Revolutionary War. Like Lloyd's other historical pieces, CAVALCADE and MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY, the film rings with an authenticity that will enchant history buffs. Leading man Cary Grant plays Matt Howard, a common man who gains employment as a surveyor through the help of Thomas Jefferson. Howard quickly falls head over heels for his wealthy employer's peach of a daughter, Jane Peyton (Martha Scott). The lovebirds appear to be set for a happily-ever-after ending until Matt becomes involved in politics and the War of Independence arrives. Matt and his two sons side with the rebels while Jane sides with the British. Based on Elizabeth Page's novel THE TREE OF LIBERTY, Lloyd's THE HOWARDS OF VIRGINIA spares no expense in offering the viewer ringside seats for the Boston Tea Party, the horrors of Valley Forge, and numerous other historical events from the colonial history of the United States.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull ScreenAudio: Dolby Digital Mono - EnglishAdditional Release Material: TrailersInteractive Features: Interactive Menus Scene Selection

Based on Frances Hodgson Burnett's popular children's book and stage play, THE LITTLE PRINCESS features one of Shirley Temple's most memorable performances and her first Technicolor appearance. Temple stars as Sara Crewe, a little rich girl who is enrolled in a prestigious boarding school while her father goes off to fight in the Boer War in Africa. When Sara receives news of her father's death, the school's ruthless headmistress makes the newly penniless girl a galley slave and forces her to live in a cold, dark garret. Sara, who refuses to accept that her father has died, escapes from the school to search for him, believing that if she can find him, her tragic days of abuse and poverty may be over. The production values in this enthralling riches-to-rags-to-riches Victorian drama are lavish, and the plot and performances are deftly handled by director Walter Lang, but it is of course the irresistibly charming Temple who ensures THE LITTLE PRINCESS a lasting place in the hearts of her fans, film lovers, and children of all ages.DVD Features:Region 1 EncodingJewel Case

The Strange Love of Martha Ivers (DVD) The Strange Love of Martha Ivers (DVD) » The Strange Love of Martha Ivers (DVD)

Although this was director Lewis Milestone's only venture into the realm of noir, it remains a classic of the genre. The film stars Barbara Stanwyck as the title character, a tough, spoiled, willful heiress married to the local D.A., Walter O'Neil (Kirk Douglas), a weak-willed alcoholic. When old friend Sam Masterson (Van Heflin) suddenly returns to town after many years away, he approaches Walter to ask his
help with the case of Toni Marashek (Lizabeth Scott), a friend who has been falsely accused of a crime. Sam is surprised, at first, to learn of Walter's marriage, knowing both of the parties, but quickly begins to put the pieces together. It turns out that Martha's tyrannical aunt (Judith Anderson) met an untimely end on the night that Sam left town, and Martha fears that Sam will reveal what he knows about that night, thereby destroying the lives of both she and her husband. Consequently, she begins to plot against Sam, whom she also loves in her own twisted fashion. Every element seems perfectly in place in this typically guilt-saturated noir, with superb direction from Milestone, a memorable score by Miklos Rozsa, and an outstanding performance by Kirk Douglas in his film debut.DVD Features:Region 1 encodingKeep case

Norma Rae (DVD) Norma Rae (DVD) » Norma Rae (DVD)

Set in the industrial South and based on a true story, Martin Ritt's NORMA RAE is a moving portrait of a woman's fight to improve both her own life and the deplorable conditions that exist in the mill where she works. Norma Rae (Sally Field) has worked at the textile mill for years, but when a union organizer from New York comes to town, Norma takes on the hostility of the mill's management and the apathy of her coworkers to try to unionize the mill. Field plays Norma Rae as a passionate woman who realizes her own potential and her need to rebel against the status quo. She is also infuriated by the conditions at the mill. When Norma, uneducated and poor, finally expresses her disgust with life at the mill, it is an electrifying moment, and Field radiates this energy for the rest of the film, providing an emotional core and drive that gives the picture its power.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseAnamorphic Widescreen - 2.35:1Audio: Dolby Surround - English Dolby Digital Mono 2.0 - English Dolby Digital Mono 2.0 - FrenchAdditional Release Material: Trailers - 1.
