  The most iconic actress of the 20th century Marilyn Monroe's reputation and status remains almost untouched in the near on fifty years since her death. This is despite a relatively short acting career at least as far as starring roles is concerned and even fewer awards and nominations. Her reputation therefore relies more on her personna off screen and it is this that has enabled her star to continue shining brightly across the decades. Home Town Story: One of Marilyn Monroe's earliest starring roles (of her ten previous films she had been uncredited in four of them) finds her playing the newspaper office receptionist Iris. The paper is run by Blake Washburn who has just been defeated in a bid for re-election to the state senate and uses the paper to ruffle big business. The Marilyn Monroe Story: One of the most iconic of all Hollywood stars Marilyn Monroe enjoyed a meteoric rise to fame and an equally abrupt end to her career. This documentary produced in the 1960s explores both the private and public life narrated by John Huston.

• Riders To The Sea | DVD | (22/09/2008) from £13.48   |  Saving you £-3.49 (N/A%)   |  RRP £9.99

  They are all gone now and there is nothing more the sea can do to me Riders to the Sea is Vaughan Williams' most successful operatic achievement. It is short but the music is written on a grand scale and it is emotionally powerful. He based his opera on J.M. Synge's great tragic one-act play about Aran fisherfolk. The Irish dramatist spent several summers on the stormy West Coast of Ireland and the primitive life of the islanders whose existence depended almost entirely on the sea provided him with the material for his play. Vaughan Williams was inspired by the theme of human endurance in the face of the natural elements and his opera is absolutely faithful to Synge's original play almost word for word. The tautly structured music is integrated perfectly with Synge's dialogue and at the end it opens out into a great dignified lament sometimes compared to the lament from Dido and Aeneas. This film made in the studio in 1988 by the Irish broadcaster Radio Telefis ''‰ireann is unique because it is the only audio-visual representation of any of Vaughan Williams' operatic and stage works currently available. The opera stars Sarah Walker in the central role of the mother Maurya who has already lost six men in her family to the sea and fears for the safety of her two remaining sons. Her daughters Cathleen and Nora are played by Yvonne Brennan and Kathleen Tynan and her son Bartley is sung by Hugh Mackey. Martin Murphy portrays J.M. Synge. The Radio Telefis ''‰ireann Chamber Choir and Concert Orchestra is conducted by Bryden Thomson. It is produced and directed by Louis Lentin. A new production of Riders to the Sea is being staged at English National Opera this November to mark the 50th anniversary of Vaughan Williams' death.

  The juxtaposition of the Weimar Republic the cultural heart of Germany with the cruelty of the Buchenwald concentration camp situated mere miles away would make the region infamous. Herman Pister's instalment as commandant in 1942 only intensified the horrors committed there with the continued growth of the Division of Typhus and Virus Research: the experimentation on inmates in ways to kill more conveniently. More and more prisoners were worked to death in various operations none more hated than the SS Death Railway. Built at the cost of many inmates' lives the railway initially transported goods made at the camp factories. But as the numbers sent to the camps rose Buchenwald became a depot where all the people were sent before being moved to places such as Dachau. The camp even had a VIP wing where French politicians and Italian princesses resided. With its population swollen beyond its limits Buchenwald would have been unmanageable if not for the 'Kapos' inmates who worked as unofficial guards for extra privileges. The struggle for control between the various Kapo groups would make life even more miserable. The atrocities of Buchenwald were discovered with its liberation by US forces in 1945 and the desire for revenge took over as camp personnel were hunted down and made to publicly stand trial for war crimes. After the war the camp's reputation worsened with the conditions in the now Soviet-run prison worse than ever. It was eventually turned into a shrine to Communism's victory over adversity but this Russian propaganda has long since peeled away leaving the realisation of man's inhumanity to man revealed.
