Danish director Bille August's (PELLE THE CONQUEROR) touching tale is about finding a great love and losing it too quickly. Barbara (Viveka Seldahl), the first violinist in a Swedish philharmonic, is immediately, deeply attracted to Martin Fischer (Sven Wollter), a famous composer who is guest conducting his new work. Both Barbara and Martin are good-looking, middle-aged, and married to other people. Despite the obstacles, they fall passionately in love, and soon enjoy a blissful, charmed life together as husband and wife. They live in a quaint house by the sea, and work together on Martin's compositions. However, Martin begins displaying some unnerving behavior--he forgets his manager's name, and has sudden, terrifying moments of blankness where he doesn't recognize the house. When Martin is diagnosed with Alzheimer's, he tries to continue composing his new opera, but the cruel irony of an artist's instrument--his mind and memory--being destroyed (as in IRIS) is soon apparent. Meanwhile, Barbara struggles to cope as her virile, brilliant husband deteriorates into a confused, weak man she doesn't recognize. Wollter embodies the shambling, empty physicality of Alzheimer's to perfection, while Seldahl (Wollter's real-life wife) realistically portrays the frustration, anger, and sorrow of the loved ones forced to watch.DVD Features:Region 1 EncodingKeep CaseAdditional Release Material: Audio Commentary - 1.

Shot on Republic Pictures` poverty row, which afforded director Fritz Lang creative freedom while limiting his budget, this haunting melodrama stars Louis Hayward as Stephen Byrne (DANCE, GIRL, DANCE), a wealthy writer given to bouts of violence and dementia. When his attempts to seduce his wife`s maid are rebuffed, he murders her and solicits his brother John`s (Lee Bowman) help in disposing of the body in the river. Stephen`s wife, Marjorie (Jane Wyatt, BOOMERANG!), is innocent of her husband`s activities, while the upstanding John has growing affections for his brother`s wife. As the authorities close in, this love triangle moves toward a dramatic face-off by the river`s edge.
