Buy Young Mr. Lincoln - Criterion Collection (DVD)

John Ford`s film on the early career of Abraham Lincoln, which centers on an apocryphal murder trial, impressed even the great Sergei Eisenstein. It stars Henry Fonda as the title character, who opts for the law after receiving encouragement from his early, ill-fated love, Anne Rutledge (Pauline Moore). Too poor to own even a horse, he arrives in Springfield on a mule and soon establishes a law practice with friend John Stuart (Edwin Maxwell). At a July 4th celebration, a man is murdered in a brawl, and the accused are Matt and Adam Clay (Richard Cromwell and Eddie Quillan), two brothers of a family that Lincoln knows. After saving the two men from a lynch mob, Lincoln becomes their defending attorney, a difficult task since each man claims guilt to spare the other. Admiring his courage, Mary Todd (Marjorie Weaver) invites him to her sister`s soiree and expresses an intense interest in his future. More pressing is his meeting with Abigail Clay (Alice Brady), who understandably refuses to tell Lincoln which of her sons is the killer. Although entirely fictional, Ford`s fable conveys the essence of the great man`s character: honesty, humor, wisdom, and a shrewdness that knew how to take a back road to reach the high road. A triumph of acting, writing, and direction, YOUNG MR. LINCOLN features one of Fonda`s greatest screen performances.

The Tao of Steve (DVD) The Tao of Steve (DVD) » The Tao of Steve (DVD)

Dex (Donal Logue), an overweight slacker living in Santa Fe, excels at charming women. The reason behind his success is apparently the Tao of Steve, a pseudo-philosophy, largely about dating women, developed by Dex and his drinking buddies. While this lazy lifestyle with no commitment seems to work, Dex gradually begins to realize there's something more meaningful missing from his life. When he meets Syd (Greer Goodman), a beautiful set designer, Dex discovers the Tao of Steve isn't a foolproof way of thinking, and must get in touch with his real emotions to get the girl of his dreams.Jenniphr Goodman's directorial debut is a highly enjoyable romantic comedy. Set along the gorgeous desert landscapes of New Mexico, Goodman's film manages to echo its surroundings with its easy-going pace and attitude. In his first leading role, Logue is immediately likeable, portraying Dex as a surprisingly complex man with simple ideals. With its insightful look at the ups and downs of finding love, THE TAO OF STEVE is as endearing as its half-baked philosophy.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseAnamorphic Widescreen - 1.85Single Side - Dual LayerAudio: Dolby Digital 2.0Additional Release Material: Audio Commentary - 1.Jenniphr Goodman - DIRECTOR

A lighthearted departure from Dreyer's more well-known films such as THE PASSION OF JOAN OF ARC and VAMPYR, THE PARSON'S WIDOW is a silent comedy that follows the romance of Sofren, who is studying to be a parson, his lovely amour Mari. Mari's father won't allow the couple to marry until Sofren has his own ministry, which he hastens to do; once installed in his parish, however, he learns of a troubling local custom that allows the widow of the former parson to marry his successor. The widow Margarete, who is so aged that she has already buried three husbands, exercises her right to a fourth, but Sofren brings Mari with him anyway, calling her his sister. When it begins to seem as though the old lady will never expire, the young lovebirds begin a series of humorous exploits to hasten the process. This release also boasts two rare Dreyer shorts: THEY CAUGHT THE FERRY is a horror fantasy about driver safety in the vein of VAMPYR, and THORVALDSEN is Dreyer's exploration of the sculptor's life and work.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Audio: Dolby Digital Stereo - English
