Zane Grey (1872-1939) was one of the most popular authors of western fiction ever, and 60 years after his death many of his 78 books, such as Riders of the Purple Sage, are still in print. In the silent era Hollywood filmed many of his stories with stars such as Tom Mix and Jack Holt. Grey knew the west well, particularly the deserts of Arizona and Utah, and demanded accurate locations for the films. Later, however, many of these films were remade, sometimes two or three times, without Grey's involvement, and the relation between novels and films grew much looser. The films are quintessential B-moveis: black and white, just over an hour, featuring minor stars and formulaic plots with some music and comedy thrown in. Committed fans of the western genre will not be disappointed, and others will derive pleasure from the delightful Jane Greer in Sunset Pass and Tim Holt, son of Jack, in the other three films. The location shooting, mostly in the Lone Pine area of California, has an authentic feel. Titles are: Under the Tonto Rim (1947); Thunder Mountain (1947); Sunset Pass (1946); Wild Horse Mesa(1947). On the DVD: This box set contains two DVDs, each of which include two movies deriving from Zane Grey novels. Print quality and sound is generally acceptable, though Under the Tonto Rim has poor definition and is a bit scratchy. Aspect ratio is 14:9. The DVDs contain no extras of any kind. --Ed Buscombe

This is a fascinating war story that is seldom told: the plot to kill Adolf Hitler. Many high ranking officers in the German Army were appalled by the abhorrent crimes committed against civilians and enemy troops which they believed to be morally wrong. Casualties among the German forces were enormous and many officers believed this was due to Adolf Hitler's insistence on pursuing disastrous offensive strategies. A growing number of army officers decided that the only way to save Germany was to eliminate Adolf Hitler and his supporters and stage a coup. They then hoped to negotiate a ceasefire with the Allies. The July Plot led by Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg was the closest anyone came to assassinating Adolf Hitler and overthrowing the Nazi government and Discovery Channel's Virtual History team has attempted to recreate the incredible tale in this groundbreaking documentary. With the use of state of the art Computer Generated Imagery The Secret Plot to Kill Hitler is able to recreate and bring to life the extraordinary events that took place on July 20 1944 and afford the veiwer a rare insight into this infamous plot that has previously been unavailable.
