Penitentiary is the first of many in a series depicting the harrowing prison existence of a convict who uses his wits and fists to survive. Leon Isaac Kennedy's character is thrown deep into the bowels of the prison system, where the only consistent truth is kill or be killed. To show his strength and gain respect from the other inmates, Kennedy must distinguish himself as a boxer, taking on all comers to save his own skin and regain his pride as a human being. Surprisingly effective in its harsh detailing of violent prison life, the film addresses the dehumanization of prisoners without excusing their crimes. Thought of as an exploitation picture, Penitentiary rises above its roots to provide a blunt and passionate look at one man's struggle on the inside. --Robert Lane

This Glyndebourne production of Prokofiev's comic fairy tale opera The Love of Three Oranges recorded in 1982 is nothing short of a sizzling visual extravaganza. The combination of Frank Corsaro's innovative direction and the brilliant creative designs of American book writer and illustrator Maurice Sendak have created an opera which mixes fantasy nightmare romance and satire. The whole production is alive with acrobats jugglers body-builders monsters outrageous inflatable figures colossal puppets and special animated sequences - creating a farcical carnival atmosphere. Willard White powerfully portrays the King whose son a doleful hypochondriac can only be cured through laughter. The antics of the court jester Truffaldino fail to raise even a giggle and it is only when the wicked witch Fata Morgana (Nelly Morpurgo) accidently loses her skirt that the Prince (Ryland Davies) breaks into hysterics. In revenge Morgana condemns the Prince to fall in love with three oranges which he pursues for three thousand miles. The exciting rhythms and brilliant orchestration of Prokofiev's score are conducted by Bernard Haitink. The cast also includes Nucci Condo (Clarissa) John Pringle (Leandro) Ugo Benelli (Truffaldino) Peter-Christoph Runge (Pantaloon) Richard Van Allan (Tchelio) Yvonne Lea (Princess Linetta) Susan Moore (Princess Nicoletta) Fiona Kimm (Smeraldina) Colette Alliot-Lugaz (Princess Ninetta) Roger Bryson (Herald/Cook) Hugh Hetherington (Master of Ceremonies) and Derek Hammond-Stroud (Farfarello).
