Some essential examples of the Marilyn Monroe mystique make up this second collection of titles from MM's years at Twentieth Century Fox. After sparkling in small roles, she burst upon the public consciousness in 1952, thanks to five films and a certain nude calendar. Two of the 1952 pictures, showing very different sides of the new actress, are included here. One is Monkey Business, Howard Hawks's raucous comedy about a youth serum, in which top-lined stars Cary Grant and Ginger Rogers regress to a state of adolescent abandon, with Monroe doing spot-on supporting duty. Don't Bother to Knock gives Marilyn her first lead role, in a tense little film noir; she's a babysitter with an unstable streak, a fine performance hinting at depths rarely touched in her career.

In Niagara, Monroe is a full-fledged sex goddess, a scheming wife tormenting husband Joseph Cotten in their cabin by the falls. This Technicolor slice of pseudo-Hitchcock is a fun location picture with a genuinely exciting climax. Otto Preminger's River of No Return has Marilyn livened up by the presence of costar Robert Mitchum, in a strong outdoorsy Western that catches the two stars in appealing form. By the time of 1960's Let's Make Love, MM looks tired. This backstage musical is more interesting as a time capsule than as a romance, although one number shines: "My Heart Belongs to Daddy." Less urgent for Monroe fans than the first Diamond Collection, this set is still a good one for the die-hards. --Robert Horton

Product Description

One of the first box-office successes of Mexico's Golden Era was the film Over at the Big Ranch, a film hailed by historians as the vanguard of the Mexican "Charro"-movie genre which concentrated upon singing cowboys, golden-hearted bandits and fair senoritas. Popular radiosinger Guizar is cast as the itinerant ranch-hand Jose Francisco who falls in love in sprite of himself with duckling-turned-swan Cruz (Esther Fernandez).

Description

A quartet of films hosted by "Shaft" himself, Richard Roundtree! From the birth of cinema, Hollywood produced over 500 "race films" exclusively for all-black theaters with all-black casts. Comics, cowboys and gangsters all found an easy home in these segregated cinemas, and new movie stars were born. Now you can take a close look at four unsung gems of black cinema: The Devil's Daughter (a tale of island voodoo), Gang War (warring mobsters battle for Harlem's Jukebox racket), Herb Jeffries in The Bronze Buckaroo(an all-black-cast singing cowboy Western), and finally, Mantan Moreland in a beuatiful copy of Monogram's Up in the Air, a murder comedy staged at a radio station in the 1940s.

Description

In the span of five years, pioneering director D.W. Griffith delivered some 450 films for the Biograph Company at a rate of two or three films per week. One and two reels in length, these works showed the filmmaker inventing, borrowing, and perfecting techniques he later used to memorable effect in "The Birth of a Nation," "Intolerance," "Way Down East" and "Orphans of the Storm." But the Biographs were more than that; they helped shape cinematic narrative for generations to come. Plots are simple and direct, revealing an extraordinary dramatic talent of brilliant force, and Griffith assembled the foremost film ensemble of his day, including Lillian and Dorothy Gish, Mary Pickford, Mack Sennett, Lionel Barrymore, Henry Walthall, and Mae Marsh. Among the 22 titles included on this landmark release are such widely recognized masterworks as "The Musketeers of Pig Alley," "The Battle at Elderbush Gulch," "The New York Hat," and "A Corner in Wheat." Collectively, these compact and exciting shorts provide an unparalleled record of American life at the turn of the 20th century.

Dollar for dollar, D.W. Griffith: Years of Discovery is one of the finest DVD sets ever produced. A must-have for students and scholars of early film, this two-disc, 22-film collection offers a comprehensive primer on Griffith's innovative filmmaking for American Biograph in the years prior to his epic 1915 masterpiece The Birth of a Nation. Combined with extensive commentary by noted film historian Russell Merritt, each of these films represents some kind of advancement for Griffith and the art of cinematic storytelling, from the sympathetic (yet still stereotypical) depiction of Native Americans (The Redman's View, 1909) to Griffith's fullest embrace of the burgeoning Western genre in 1914's ambitious Battle at Elderbush Gulch. In the intervening years, Griffith would refine his pioneering use of parallel editing, social protest (in such "film editorials" as 1909's A Corner in Wheat), flashback structure (The House of Darkness, 1913), and Freudian subtext (The Painted Lady, 1912).

These films also chart the progression of stellar personnel drawn to Griffith's prolific mastery. Future comedy king Mack Sennett appears in 1909's Those Awful Hats; silent film legends Lillian and Dorothy Gish began their 10-year collaboration with Griffith in 1912's The Unseen Enemy; and The New York Hat (1912) was written by legendary screenwriter Anita Loos. Most of the Griffith Biographs were shot by Griffith's pioneering cameraman G.W. "Billy" Bitzer, and other silent-era favorites (Blanche Sweet, Mary Pickford, Lionel Barrymore) can be seen among the casts. More importantly, these cinematic milestones represent the cream of Griffith's massive 450-film crop for Biograph, eliminating any doubt that he was the supreme innovator of fiction filmmaking. What's more, they remain as entertaining as they are historically significant, making this collection a bona fide treasure. --Jeff Shannon

Legendary producer David O. Selznick dreamed of another magnum opus like his 1939 production of Gone with the Wind; he also purposed to make Jennifer Jones, his ladylove and eventually second Mrs. Selznick, a megastar. Accordingly, he micromanaged the making of Duel in the Sun (Lust in the Dust to some), an extravagant Technicolor epic about the collision of the old West with the new, wide-open spaces with railroads and barbed wire, and hot-blooded outlaws with civilized folk, often wimpy or unwell. Beginning among giant rocks drenched in a blood-red sunset, with velvet-voiced Orson Welles intoning the leibestod legend of doomed Pearl Chavez and her demon lover, Duel never strays far from lush romanticism, spiced with a dash of S/M. Orphaned Pearl (Jones) comes to live at Spanish Bit Ranch, where frail Laura Belle McCanles (Lillian Gish) tries to make a lady of her, despite her questionable origins and insistent voluptuousness. Sexual license versus law--Pearl's choices--are symbolized by the McCanles brothers: dark, undisciplined Lewt (a lubriciously wicked Gregory Peck) and reasonable, forward-looking, repressed Jesse (Joseph Cotten). The cast is huge (Lionel Barrymore, Walter Huston, Harry Carey, Herbert Marshall, Charles Bickford, Butterfly McQueen) and there are unforgettable set pieces: summoned by a cacophony of bells, the gathering of McCanles cowboys from the four corners of the earth; Pearl in heat, clutching Lewt's leg and being dragged across the floor as he makes his getaway to Mexico; and the lovers' final shootout among those red rocks, as orgiastic a finale as you could ask for. --Kathleen Murphy
