With a glittering cast which includes Anthony Hopkins (THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS) and Donald Pleasance (HALLOWEEN), ARCH OF TRIUMPH is the tale of a Parisian romance unfolding on the cusp of World War II. Dr. Ravic (Hopkins) is a German citizen who has escaped the clutches of the Nazi's by fleeing to Paris. Not wanting to look conspicuous, the doctor disguises his true identity, and attempts to carry out his medical duties. However, one fateful night sees him come across Joan Madou (Lesley-Anne Down) as she attempts to kill herself by jumping from a bridge. Ravic prevents her from carrying out the act, and the couple soon begin a passionate romance. But both hide dark secrets from each other, leading to an explosive conclusion to this terse drama from director Waris Hussein.DVD Features:Region (unknown)Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Audio: (unspecified) - English

Masterful silent-film director Maurice Tourneur (LAST OF THE MOHICANS) made the first, and arguably the best, interpretation of Maurice Maeterlinck`s play. Preceding the paragon of German Expressionist THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI by a year, this fantastical film utilizes extravagant costumes and sets, and wholly innovative camera effects. Two young children, brother Tytyl (Robin MacDougall) and sister Mytyl (Tula Belle), head off in search of the Bluebird of Happiness in a bid to improve their lot in life. Their highly allegorical journey forces them to confront edifying life lessons at every turn, visiting the
Palace of Joy and Delights
and the
Land of the Unborn,
before discovering that the Bluebird was in their own backyard all along. The director`s theater background is evident in the staginess of sets, which is symptomatic of the then still-new filmic medium, while the magical story unfolds in an exuberant display of creativity.

In this eerie meditation on good and evil, a schizophrenic preacher--possibly the devil himself--relentlessly hunts two small children across the Depression-era Bible Belt to get at their dead father's stolen fortune. In Robert Mitchum's career-defining role as Preacher Harry Powell, he wears unforgettable tattoos of two four-letter words on his fingers: LOVE and HATE. Hauntingly directed by Charles Laughton, THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER is his only credited directorial effort, and it is a tour-de-force.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Audio: Dolby Digital Mono - English Dolby Digital Mono - FrenchAdditional Release Material: Trailer - Original TheatricalAdditional Products: Behind-the-Scenes Booklet
