The story of Calamity Jane, her saloon, and her romance with Wild Bill Hickok.
Richard Quine (Drive a Crooked Road) directs Pushover, a film noir classic featuring a top-notch cast including Fred MacMurray (Remember the Night), Kim Novak (5 Against the House), Phil Carey (The Long Gray Line), and Dorothy Malone (Convicted). Lona (Novak) is the girlfriend of a bank robber suspected of murder, and detectives Sheridan (MacMurray) and McAllister (Carey) are assigned to stake out her apartment, where each becomes dangerously fixated - Sheridan with Lona, and McAllister on her neighbour, Ann (Malone). Then Lona makes Sheridan an offer... to kill her lover and run away with her. With its themes of surveillance and obsession prefiguring Novak's role in Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo, Pushover is a triumph of suspense, and an acknowledged influence on Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless.

This 1953 musical is very much a vehicle for Doris Day, in the title role, as a wild cowgal who can out-shoot and out-sing any boy on the range. When an actress arrives in Deadwood and uses her feminine charms on Jane's secret love, Wild Bill Hickock (Howard Keel), Jane tries to mend her tomboy ways. Not exactly up to the feminist code of honour, this is still energetic and Day is very perky. Of course, one could almost detect a homosexual undercurrent with the cross-dressing Jane, but this was Hollywood in the 1950s, so we best not. Calamity Jane won an Oscar for Best Song--"Secret Love", by Sammy Fain and Paul Francis Webster. --Rochelle O'Gorman

Available uncut for the first time in the UK, The Evil Dead is a classic cult horror film that tells of five college friends who journey to the woods and wake the spirits of demons who want their bodies!
A BANNED BOOK, A RAPE, AND A TRIAL THAT TORE A TOWN APART! When Twentieth Century Fox signed sexploitation maestro Russ Meyer to a multi-picture deal, this resulted in two films. The first was the legendary Beyond the Valley of the Dolls. The second was the little-seen The Seven Minutes, about a subject that could hardly have been closer to Meyer s heart. Based on the best-selling novel by Irving Wallace, The Seven Minutes is also the title of a notorious 1930s book whose belated publication in the US triggers an obscenity lawsuit, prompted by a hitherto clean-living young man raping a fellow student and leaving her for dead. But is the resulting trial a sincere exploration of links between (alleged) pornography and real-life violence or an attempted Kafkaesque stitch-up involving a shady businessman, ambitious politicians in search of a populist bandwagon, and even the Vatican? With a dazzling cast including cult legends John Carradine, Yvonne De Carlo (The Munsters), Jay C. Flippen (The Killing), Wolfman Jack (Motel Hell), Charles Napier (The Blues Brothers) and future star Tom Selleck (Magnum P.I.), The Seven Minutes is an absorbing, intelligent and thought-provoking drama. SPECIAL EDITION CONTENTS ¢ DVD presentation of the longer cut of The Seven Minutes, including the notorious sex-film studio scene ¢ Dolby Digital 1.0 sound, with optional English subtitles for the deaf and hearing-impaired ¢ Sinister Image, an interview with Russ Meyer and his former model Yvette Vickers ¢ Theatrical trailer
