• MAKE WAY FOR TOMORROW (Masters of Cinema) Dual Format (Blu-ray + DVD) | Blu Ray | (14/11/2011) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

  Of Make Way for Tomorrow, Orson Welles told Peter Bogdanovich: “Oh my God that’s the saddest movie ever made.” Leo McCarey’s personal favourite among all his films (which included The Awful Truth and An Affair to Remember) is sad, yes, but it also stands as cathartic affirmation of the dignity of human feeling, and in the testament of such achieves a subtle complexity of characterisation on par with Renoir, Ford, and Hawks. Victor Moore and Beulah Bondi, two of the great Hollywood character actors, portray the couple whose house the bank has foreclosed upon, and who are forced subsequently to move into their children’s homes in the city. A near-musical restructuring of gratitude and debt ensues once the offspring deem the couple’s lodging an imposition: the two are separated, then reunited weeks later... as they glide inexorably into an uncertain future. Unrelentingly unsentimental, Make Way for Tomorrow exerted a powerful influence on Ozu’s Tokyo Story and several other key entries in the Japanese master’s body of work. It is a film that, to give Welles the last word, “could make a stone cry.” The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present Leo McCarey’s truly great Make Way for Tomorrow for the first time on Blu-ray anywhere in the world, as part of this Dual Format (Blu-ray + DVD) edition.

Schaffner's film of Papillon united two stars at key career junctions.

Alan Parker 1973): Brad Davis and John Hurt star in this riveting true story of a young American's nightmarish experiences in a Turkish prison and his unforgettable journey to freedom. Busted for attempting to smuggle hashish out of Istanbul American College student Billy Hayes (Davis) is thrown into the city's most brutal jail. After suffering through four years of sadistic torture and inhuman conditions Billy is about to be released when his parole is denied.

Costa Gavras 1982): Director Constantin Costa-Gavras made his English-language film debut with this political thriller based on a true story. Although the nation depicted is never named directly the action clearly takes place in Chile after the military coup.

  Of Make Way For Tomorrow Orson Welles told Peter Bogdanovich: Oh my God that's the saddest movie ever made. Long unavailable for home viewing Leo McCarey's personal favourite among all his films (which included The Awful Truth and An Affair To Remember) is sad yes but it also stands as cathartic affirmation of the dignity of human feeling and in the testament of such achieves a subtle complexity of characterization on par with Renoir Ford and Hawks. Victor Moore and Beulah Bondi two of the great Hollywood character actors appear makeup-aged beyond their actual years to portray the couple whose house the bank has foreclosed upon (the film was set and produced in the midst of the Great Depression) and who are forced subsequently to move into their children's homes in the city. A near-musical restructuring of gratitude and debt ensues once the offspring deem the couple's lodging an imposition: the two are separated then reunited weeks later... as they glide inexorably into an uncertain future. Unrelentingly unsentimental yet maintaining a balance of pathos and levity unseen in not only American studio pictures but most of the rest of world cinema Make Way For Tomorrow exerted a powerful influence on Yasujir'' Ozu's Tokyo Story and several other key entries in the Japanese master's body of work. It is a film profoundly concerned with questions of filial obligation and the way we treat one another as human beings; it is a film that to give Welles the last word could make a stone cry. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present Leo McCarey's truly great Make Way For Tomorrow for the first time on Blu-ray anywhere in the world.
