In some ways, calling this collection James Dean: The Rare Movies is a little misleading. After all, the "all-purpose delinquent"--as described in David Dalton's fascinating booklet notes--made only three feature films and, in true iconic style, died a youthful, violent death. Yet the collection works somewhat on an ironic level. The 1950s was a decade in which television established itself as the biggest threat to the cinematic medium, and this is a selection of some of the television dramas and commercials that Dean made on his way up to Hollywood stardom, presented with the same introductions and sponsors' messages of the original transmissions. So how good was he at the beginning? All the raw material was there: the restless misfit, the damaged juvenile and the complex punk. In 1954's "I am a Fool" he stars with Natalie Wood in what turned out to be a rehearsal for Rebel Without a Cause on the big screen. At times he moves with an almost balletic grace, at others he twitches with that awkwardness that still leaves new generations of fans totally enthralled. Television was never going to contain him. This is like watching history in the making and is all the more compelling because we know the tragedy that lay but a short way ahead. On the DVD: It scarcely matters that these television dramas and commercials are presented in 4:3 format. The picture quality is inevitably poor and the sound rough, sometimes to the point of inaudibility. Made in television's explosive adolescence, they were never intended to be monuments to technological brilliance. We're just lucky they've survived at all. The track selection offers a maze-like array of choices for you to skip between films, introductions and commercial breaks and occasionally this can be confusing. A chronology on the DVD itself would have helped.--Piers Ford

Few thought that any German player would be able to emulate the incredible playing qualities of 'the Kaiser' Franz Beckenbauer... They were wrong. This documentary takes a look at the life and career of Lothar Matthaus. Born in Erlangen on January 21st 1961 Matthaus is one of the finest midfielders that Germany or any other nation has ever produced.

The man has played in a record 5 World Cups captaining the team to victory in 1990. The following year his success was consolidated by the accolade of FIFA World Player of the Year. Recently he's moved into coaching where he's had a degree of success but courted controversy for a few abrupt resignations. However the footballing community fully expect Lothar to achieve greatness in the coaching field eventually. This documentary features interviews with residents from Lothar Matthaus' hometown and the people who were influential in his life. Not only that but Lothar himself offers his own thoughts on his achievements. With a smattering of top quality footage of Matthaus in action this is ideal viewing for fans of the player and the game.
