This special DVD and audio collection looks at the incredible career of a true super star featuring 20 superb songs and the full length feature film 'At War With The Army'. At War with the Army is a zany comedy starring the irrepressible Dean Martin and his long time film partner Jerry Lewis set in a WWII army training camp. The guys are the best of buddies in civvy street but it just isn't the same when they enlist in the army. The smart and streetwise Vic Puccinelli (Dean Martin) is given an elevated rank of 1st Sergeant whereas the 'challenged' Alvin Korwin (Jerry Lewis) has to settle for the lesser rank of private. The object of the training camp is to beef up be ready for combat and be able to take orders without question. Alvin is not going to be good at this as he soon discovers. His best friend Vic is no longer the guy to share a joke...he doesn't laugh any more he only shouts! Will Alvin ever get the hang of this 'soldier' thing - will he ever see his friend Vic again? A great knockabout comedy in typical Lewis style with the added laid back humour of the brilliant Dean Martin...marvellous!

Sun Records the brainchild of Sam Phillips began life at 706 Union Avenue Memphis in 1949. Sam Phillips' motto was ""We Record Anything - Anywhere - Anytime"" and in 1954 he signed the first of what was to become known as the Million Dollar Quartet: Elvis Presley Johnny Cash Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins. In 1954 Elvis actually paid Sun Records for the privilege of making his first recording and Johnny Cash finally plucked up the courage to audition for Sam Phillips' and Sam was singularly unimpressed - by either of them. Luckily they persevered and he changed his mind and thus began the rise of two of the greatest stars of the music world. This amazing DVD captures over 30 of the early performances of Presley and Cash as they were taking their first steps on the ladder to stardom and international fame and on the accompanying audio CD they are joined by their Million Dollar Quartet cohorts Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins in a truly memorable collection of recordings.
From the groundbreaking director of Rock Hudson's Home Movies Mark Rappaport takes us on a hilarious and provocative romp through the hidden and not-so-hidden gay undercurrents of Hollywood's Golden Years. Dan Butler (Fraiser) acts as tour guide as he uncovers - despite efforts to launder American cinema of even the faintest traces of gay influences - Hollywood's squeamish fascination with gay eroticism and camp. Through the use of ingenious film clips along with Rappaport's signature witty insights The Silver Screen: Colour Me Lavender brilliantly uncovers the unmistakable homoerotic flirtations and the ambiguous behaviour that richly imbued the performances of Danny Kaye Jerry Lewis Cary Grant and other film legends. The Silver Screen: Colour Me Lavender is a rich and funny mediation on American sexual identity film history and culture that will change the way you look at butch westerns or the campy charades of Bob Hope and Bing Crosby in their buddy road movies forever.

Before there was Dick Cavett the talk show host there was Dick Cavett the comedian. Cavett's early career as a writer for Jack Paar and Johnny Carson naturally led him into the world of stand-up comedy where his contemporaries were the likes of Woody Allen and Bill Cosby. Cavett would later welcome both to The Dick Cavett Show. Cavett's comedian guests were by no means limited to his contemporaries. Cavett developed warm personal relationships with people like Groucho Marx Bob Hope and Jack Benny. These great raconteurs and storytellers had some of their finest moments in Cavett's studio where they found a unique forum that didn't necessarily require them to be funny. But of course they simply couldn't be anything else. On this fantastic four disc box set we feature 12 episodes of this timeless show featuring some of the biggest legends in American comedy featuring: Woody Allen Lucille Ball Jack Benny Carol Burnett Mel Brooks George Burns Bill Cosby Bob Hope Jerry Lewis Groucho Marks The Smothers Brothers plus an all new interview with Dick himself.
