• Lubitsch In Berlin | DVD | (10/02/2014) from £18.98   |  Saving you £13.00 (76.52%)   |  RRP £29.99

  Before he arrived in Hollywood to leave his indelible (and inimitable) mark on timeless comedies like Trouble in Paradise and The Shop Around the Corner Ernst Lubitsch created an expansive body of work in Germany that proved to be as varied in its tone as it was sophisticated in its measure of man and woman. This set collects six recently restored works from the silent phase of Lubitsch's career and casts new light on the director both as a fully-formed comic master and as a virtuoso of cinematographic technique. Ich Möchte Kein Mann Sein (1918)One of the first collaborations between Lubitsch and the exuberant Ossi Oswalda Ich möchte kein Mann sein [I Wouldn't Like to Be a Man] is a concise sketch of society life in three acts. When Ossi's uncle goes away on a business trip a new guardian steps in to tame the distractable niece. But Ossi finds a way out of the house and into a grand ball... by way of a brazen cross-dressing scheme - and triggers what is perhaps Lubitsch's most twisted finale. Die Puppe (1919)Four amusing acts from a toy-chest - so reads the opening title of the comic masterpiece Die Puppe. [The Doll.] adapted by Lubitsch and co-scenarist Hanns Kräly from a libretto by A. M. Wilner (based in turn on a tale from E. T. A. Hoffmann). Ossi Oswalda stars in a double-role as both the mischievous daughter and automatonic creation of a wildly coiffed dollmaker. When a wealthy baron decides the time has come for his prudish nephew to take a wife an uproariously ribald plot unwinds into what is perhaps the world's first-ever sex-doll comedy. Die Austernprinzessin (1919)As Die Austernprinzessin. [The Oyster Princess.] Ossi Oswalda makes another turn as a plutocrat's rambunctious daughter - now the heiress of a global oyster empire devoting her wiles once again to the service of manipulation. A comic high-point in the master's oeuvre Die Austernprinzessin. showcases the trademarks of the Lubitsch Touch and its ten-fingered dexterity resulting in a film that is simultaneously clever concise and risqué. Sumurun (1920)By turns melodramatic and grotesquely comic Sumurun brings together performances by star-players Paul Wegener (Der Golem.) Pola Negri Harry Liedtke and Ernst Lubitsch himself (in the role of an ultra-pathetic hunchbacked minstrel) for this ensemble tale pulled from the milieu of The Arabian Nights. Featuring hundreds of extras milling through open-air set-pieces and dusky harem-chambers alike Sumurun demonstrates Lubitsch's ability to transfigure rote romance into vibrant pageant. Anna Boleyn (1920)Emil Jannings plays King Henry VIII in the story of Anne Boleyn's movement from the outskirts of the court to the royal boudoir and off to the chopping-block. Suffused with an atmosphere of entrapment that would not be out of place in later films by Fritz Lang and prefiguring the stately contretemps in John Ford's Mary of Scotland Anna Boleyn proceeds with a deathward momentum unique in Lubitsch's oeuvre. Die Bergkatze (1921)Set in one of Lubitsch's hallmark mythical kingdoms Die Bergkatze [The Mountain-Lion / The Wildcat] finds Lubitsch in exuberantly expressionistic mode employing a host of optical masks to create perhaps the most visually audacious comic spectacle of his career. Pola Negri plays the daughter of a band of thieves; seduction of army commander (and audience) ensues. Lubitsch's personal favourite work of all his German films Die Bergkatze represents a peak in both Lubitsch's silent oeuvre and the silent cinema as a whole. Special Features: Six Features Across Five Discs A Sixth Disc Containing Robert Fischer's 2006 Feature-Length Documentary Ernst Lubitsch in Berlin: From Schönhauser Allee to Hollywood Exclusive Concertina Score for Die Puppe Liner Notes for all Six Features by Film-Writers David Cairns Anna Thorngate and Ignatiy Vishnevetsky

• Yesterday We Were In America | DVD | (11/01/2010) from £14.75   |  Saving you £0.24 (1.63%)   |  RRP £14.99

  In the summer of 1919 two WWl flying aces climbed into the open cockpit of a converted bomber aircraft a Vicker's Vimy and embarked on the world's first non-stop transatlantic flight. Sixteen gruelling hours later they touched down on the west coast of Ireland and entered the history books. This is a drama documentary chronicling the remarkable achievement of Jack Alcock and Arthur Brown. It tells the story of unlikely pair of heroes a navigator and a pilot who met just six weeks before the flight during a chance encounter. Sharing a love of flying a thirst for honour and galvanised by a ''10 000 reward they formed a bond of friendship that was tested to its limits during their perilous journey. Together they endured fog hail and snowstorms. Midway through one of the engines caught fire and Brown was repeatedly forced out on to the wing to clear ice from the air inlets. As conditions worsened Alcock fought to regain control when rough weather caused the plane to plunge from four thousand to just sixteen feet above the churning ocean - close enough to taste the salt spray. Using log books diaries and contemporary reports the film captures a vanished world of aerial adventure when nations vied to set ever more ambitious records just fifteen years after the Wright brothers' first powered flight. Alcock and Brown received a hero's welcome back in Britain and a knighthood from King George V. They had proved in Alcock's words that there are possibilities of flying between the New and Old worlds and ushered in the age of transatlantic flight. Their story is interwoven with the story of Sefton Potter and Paul Lomatschinsky who retrace Alcock and Brown's pioneering flight in a modern Diamond DA42 Twin Star. Unlike these latter day enthusiasts though Alcock and Brown did it with no instruments no navigational aids and sometimes upside down.
