This special double feature contains two Erich von Stroheim classics: BLIND HUSBANDS and THE GREAT GABBO.BLIND HUSBANDS (1919)Erich von Stroheim wrote, directed and starred in this sly romantic drama, which was also his first film as a director. Von Stroheim stars as von Steuben, a Prussian officer who pursues a surgeon's wife while the couple is on vacation in the Alps. After successfully seducing the wife, Mrs. Armstrong, von Steuben decides to further emasculate Dr. Armstrong by challenging him to a series of contests. Von Stroheim's first film is filled with the director's signature themes and finds him already experimenting with the cinematic techniques he would perfect in his later masterpieces.THE GREAT GABBO (1929)This bizarre drama/musical stars Erich von Stroheim as the volatile ventriloquist The Great Gabbo. Along with his dummy Otto, Gabbo has become a supremely successful act at a popular nightclub. Unfailingly cruel to his colleagues, Gabbo begins a sadistic relationship with one of the club's young ingenue. Unfortunately, Gabbo's self-imposed loneliness has led him to rely more and more on Otto, whom he begins to treat like a real person. Filled with grandly staged musical numbers and featuring a diabolical lead performance by von Stroheim, THE GREAT GABBO is one of the forgotten treasures produced by Hollywood during the early days of sound features.DVD Features:Region 0Keep CaseAdditional Release Material: Audio Interview - 1.

The always elliptical Peter Greenaway once again creates a beautiful film-as-puzzle.
The tale begins when a car wreck involving a rare swan kills the wife of a doctor (who has a twin brother, also a doctor).
The brothers then form an unusual and strangely close relationship with the woman who was driving the car, now an amputee.
Meanwhile, they organize elaborate studies on the decomposition of animals.
It's all very beautiful to look at and makes a great companion piece to Cronenberg's'Dead Ringers'.DVD Features:Region 1 EncodingKeep CaseInteractive MenusFilmographiesScene AccessLetterbox
