Warner Home Video have announced the Region 1 DVD release of The Tennessee Williams Film Collection

for 11th April 2006. This eight-disc DVD set contains the acclaimed

film adaptations of one of America’s greatest playwrights. The

collection, priced at $79.92 SRP, features the long-awaited DVD debuts

of Sweet Bird of Youth, Night of the Iguana, Baby Doll and The

Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone along with a newly remastered two-disc

Special Edition of A Streetcar Named Desire and single disc Deluxe

Edition of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Also included is a bonus disc, the rarely seen feature-length documentary, Tennessee Williams’ South. A Streetcar Named Desire is available for $26.99 SRP. All other individual titles are available for $19.97 SRP each.

 

 

 

Bonus materials in this collection include new making-of documentaries

for each film, plus expert commentaries, never before seen outtakes,

rare screen tests with Brando, Rip Torn and Geraldine Page, a radio

broadcast with Brando from 1947 and vintage featurettes. Exclusive to

the collection is a special bonus disc, Tennessee Williams’ South, a

feature-length vintage documentary that includes remarkable interviews

with Williams in and around New Orleans, plus great scenes from

Williams’ plays especially filmed for this documentary, including rare

footage of Jessica Tandy as Blanche (the role she created in A

Streetcar Named Desire) and Maureen Stapleton as Amanda in The Glass

Menagerie.

 

 

 

A Streetcar Named Desire: 2-Disc Special Edition is a

celebration of what is, perhaps, Williams’ greatest masterpiece. This

edition features three minutes of footage that was deleted from the

final release version (and thought lost until its rediscovery in the

early 1990s) that underscores, among other things, the sexual tension

between Blanche DuBois (Vivien Leigh) and Stanley Kowalski (Marlon

Brando), and Stella Kowalski’s (Kim Hunter) passion for husband

Stanley. The Legion of Decency required these scenes be cut in order

for the film to be released.

 

 

 

A Streetcar Named Desire depicts a culture clash between Blanche DuBois

(Vivien Leigh), a pretentious, fading relic of the Old South, and

Stanley Kowalski (Marlon Brando), a rising member of the industrial,

inner-city immigrant class. Blanche is a Southern belle whose

pretensions to virtue and culture only thinly mask her nymphomania and

alcoholism. Arriving at the house of her sister Stella Kowalski (Kim

Hunter), Stella fears Blanche’s arrival will upset the balance of her

relationship with her husband Stanley, a primal, rough-hewn, brutish

and sensual force of nature. He dominates Stella in every way, and she

tolerates his offensive crudeness and lack of gentility largely because

of her sexual need for him. Stanley’s friend and Blanche’s would-be

suitor Mitch (Karl Malden) is similarly trampled along Blanche and

Stanley’s collision course. Their final, inevitable confrontation

results in Blanche’s mental annihilation.

 

 

 

The film won Academy Awards? for Best Actor in a Supporting Role (Karl

Malden), Best Actress in a Leading Role (Vivien Leigh) , Best Actress

in a Supporting Role (Kim Hunter), and Best Art Direction -- Set

Decoration, Black-and-White. It was also nominated for Best Actor in a

Leading Role (Marlon Brando), Best Cinematography, Black-and-White,

Best Costume Design, Black-and-White, Best Director, Best Music,

Scoring of a Dramatic or Comedy Picture, Best Picture, Best Sound

Recording and Best Writing, Screenplay. In 1999 the film was selected

by the United States Library of Congress for preservation in the

National Film Registry.

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof: Remastered Deluxe Edition - The raw

emotions and crackling dialogue of Tennessee Williams’ 1955 Pulitzer

Prize play rumble like a thunderstorm in this film version whose fiery

performances and grown-up themes made it one of 1958’s top box-office

hits.

 

 

 

Paul Newman earned his first Oscar? nomination as troubled ex-sports

hero Brick. In a performance that marked a transition to richer adult

roles, Elizabeth Taylor snagged her second. The film was nominated for

six Academy Awards including Best Picture. Also starring Burl Ives

(repeating his Broadway triumph as mendacity-loathing Big Daddy),

Judith Anderson and Jack Carson, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof sizzles.

 

 

 

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is the story of a Southern family in crisis,

focusing on the turbulent relationship between Maggie the Cat

(Elizabeth Taylor) and Brick (Paul Newman), and their interaction with

Brick’s family over the course of a weekend gathering at the family

estate. Brick, an aging football hero, has neglected his wife and

further infuriates her by ignoring his brother’s attempts to gain

control of the family fortune. Although Big Daddy (Burl Ives) has

cancer and will not celebrate another birthday, his doctors and his

family have conspired to keep this information from him and his wife.

His relatives are in attendance and attempt to present themselves in

the best possible light, hoping to receive the definitive share of Big

Daddy’s enormous wealth.

 

 

 

Oscar nominations were for Best Picture, Best Screenplay, Best Actor

(Newman); Best Actress (Taylor), Best Director (Richard Brooks) and

Best Cinematography.

Sweet Bird of Youth - Paul Newman, Geraldine Page, Rip Torn,

Madeleine Sherwood and Ed Begley recreated their stage roles in this

bravura film version which featured Shirley Knight. Begley won Best

Supporting Oscar and Page and Knight were nominated. Sex, money,

hypocrisy, financial and emotional blackmail are familiar elements in

Williams’ literary realm and combine powerfully in Sweet Bird of Youth

as Chance (Newman) battles his private demons in a desperate bid to

redeem his wasted life and recapture his lost sweet bird of youth.

 

 

 

Handsome Chance Wayne (Newman) never found the Hollywood stardom he

craved, but he’s always been a star with the ladies. Now, back in his

sleepy, sweaty Gulf Coast hometown, he’s involved with two of them: a

washed-up, drug-and-vodka-addled movie queen. And the girl he left

behind…and in trouble.

Night of the Iguana - With an outstanding cast headed by Richard

Burton, Ava Gardner and Deborah Kerr, direction by legendary John

Huston and a steamy screenplay, Night of the Iguana pulses with

conflicting passions and a surprising edge of knowing humor. Winner of

one Academy Award and nominated for three more, the film explores the

dark night of one man’s soul – and illuminates the difference between

dreams and the bittersweet surrender to reality.

 

 

 

In a remote Mexican seacoast town, a defrocked Episcopal priest

(Richard Burton), ruined by alcoholism and insanity, struggles to pull

his shattered life together. And the three women in his life – an

earthy hotel owner (Ava Gardner), an ethereal artist (Deborah Kerr) and

a hot-eyed, willful teenager (Sue Lyons) – can help save him. Or

destroy him.

 

 

 

Shot just south of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, the tension-filled shoot

put that small city on the map. Due in no small part to the presence of

non-cast member Elizabeth Taylor, the shooting of the film during 1963

attracted large numbers of paparazzi, made international headlines, and

in turn made Puerto Vallarta world-famous.

Baby Doll - With Baby Doll, as with A Streetcar Named Desire,

director Elia Kazan and writer Tennessee Williams broke new ground in

depicting sexual situations – incorporating themes of lust, sexual

repression, seduction, and the corruption of the human soul.

 

Time magazine called the film “just possibly the dirtiest American-made

motion picture that has ever been legally exhibited.” The film caused a

sensation in 1956, also earning condemnation by the then-powerful

Legion of Decency and causing Cardinal Spellman to denounce Doll from

his pulpit.

 

 

 

Baby Doll earned laurels too: four Academy Award nominations, Golden

Globe Awards for Baker and Kazan and a British Academy Award? for

Wallace. Watch this funny, steamy classic that, as Leonard Martin’s

Movie Guide proclaims, “still sizzles.”

 

 

 

The film centers around cotton-mill owner Archie (Karl Malden) who’s

going through tough times but at least has his luscious, child-bride

(Carroll Baker) with whom he’ll be allowed to consummate when she’s 20.

Rival Silva Vaccaro (Eli Wallach) thinks Archie may have set fire to

his mill and takes an erotic form of Sicilian vengeance.

The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone - Widow Karen Stone is wealthy

and beautiful. Her acting successes are a memory. She lives alone in a

luxury apartment overlooking the Roman steps where romantic liaisons

take place. And waits. She soon starts an affair with the young and

expensive Paolo.

 

 

 

Vivien Leigh and Warren Beatty are lady and lover in this tender

adaptation of a Tennessee Williams novella directed by Broadway veteran

Jose Quintero. Leigh won her second Oscar for Williams’ A Streetcar

Named Desire; their reteaming creates a similar spell – at once

romantic, sinister and nearly explosive. Adding spice to the combustion

of the two leads are Best Supporting Actress Oscar nominee Lotte Lenya

as a Contessa who “arranges” romances in which she has a financial

stake and Coral Browne as Karen’s savvy best friend.

Warner Home Video have

announced the Region 1 DVD release of Classic Musicals

from the Dream Factory for

April 25th, 2006. This collection of five newly-remastered

favourites from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's

Golden Era are all making their debut on DVD, and include

It's Always Fair Weather, Summer Stock,

Three Little Words, Till the Clouds Roll By, and Ziegfeld

Follies and contain some of the most memorable

numbers by the greatest stars of the genre, specifically

the Hollywood musical's golden trio of immortal legends -

Judy Garland, Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly.

The famous M-G-M slogan "More Stars Than

There are in Heaven" was never truer than in

this spectacular collection of the fabled studio's

vintage musicals which features some of the most eye-popping

numbers in the history of the film musical. In addition to

Judy, Fred and Gene, the studio piles on Lena Horne, Esther

Williams, Cyd Charisse, June Allyson, Frank Sinatra, Van

Johnson, Kathryn Grayson, Lucille Ball, Red Skelton, William

Powell, and too many to name them all!

 

 

 

Each feature film in this collection has been meticulously

restored and remastered from its original elements by Warner

Home Video and complimented with new featurettes, rare outtake

musical numbers, audio only bonus outtakes and vintage cartoons.

The titles will be available individually for $19.97 SRP

and the five-disc collection will sell for $59.92 SRP.

 

 

 

Classic Musicals from the Dream Factory Collection

 

 

 

It's Always Fair WeatherIt's Always Fair Weather (1955)

 

Originally conceived as somewhat of a follow up to the wildly

successful On the Town, It's Always Fair

Weather didn't reunite the original cast

of that landmark 1949 MGM musical, which starred Gene Kelly,

Frank Sinatra and Jules Munshin, six years earlier. By 1955,

Sinatra was unavailable and Munshin was blacklisted, so the

project needed to have a fresh approach while still remaining

very much a Gene Kelly vehicle. "Fair

Weather" teamed Kelly for the third and final

time with the top creative talents including Stanley Donen

as co-director and co-choreographer, producer Arthur Freed

and writers Betty Comden and Adolph Green. This impressive

group had revolutionized the movie musical, first with On

The Town (1949) and then the masterpiece Singin'

in the Rain (1952). This final collaboration was a highly original

film, and was the Kelly/Donen directorial partnership's

first project in Cinemascope. 25-year-old "wunderkind"

Andre Previn, who was already an MGM veteran of almost a

decade, was hired to write all the songs for the film's

original score (with lyricists Comden and Green) and also

served as musical arranger and conductor.

 

 

 

Sparkling with satiric wit and exuberant production numbers,

It's Always Fair Weather centres on three

World War II buddies (Kelly, Dan Dailey and Michael Kidd)

who vow to reunite for old time's sake

in 10 years. When they do, they discover that their lives

have moved in different directions. But romance, the fight

game, the ad biz and a new medium called TV combine to restore

their bond. Highlights include the buddies' high-spirited

romp using trash-can lids as dancing shoes, elegant Cyd Charisse's

k.o. of a routine with broken-nosed pugilists, and Kelly's

joyful, astonishing roller skating tap dance. Previn's

music was nominated for an Academy Award® as was

Comden and Green's writing.

Summer

Stock (1950)

 

Summer StockSummer Stock was Judy Garland's

last picture under her long-term MGM contract, but she

went out on a high note

with one of the most spectacular

production numbers of her stellar career, the joyous "Get Happy."

Performed in a man's fedora, suit jacket and black tights

(eventually a signature look), with a chorus of men behind her, it's

just plain vintage Judy.

 

 

 

Gene Kelly performs some great numbers, including the shuffle-and-squeak

"You, Wonderful You" dance solo making use of loose boards and newspaper

on the floor.

Also featured is "Heavenly Music", a Kelly-Phil Silvers duet as country-bumpkins

backed by woofing canines.

 

 

 

The picture, a throwback to the early Judy-Mickey Rooney films (Babes

in Arms,

for one) with their "putting-on-a-show-in-the-barn" back

story, also represents the third and last on-screen pairing of Garland and

Gene Kelly (the others being For Me and My Gal and The Pirate). Garland plays

Jane

Falbury, a farm owner more than a bit riled when her aspiring-actress sister

(Gloria DeHaven) shows up with a theatrical troupe wanting to stage a musical.

Any guess who becomes the show's sudden star after its lead

runs off with a Broadway actor?

 

 

 

With sharp direction by Charles Walters, and great new songs by Harry Warren

and Mack Gordon, the film has become a beloved audience favourite over the

years.

Three Little WordsThree Little

Words (1950)

 

Unlike most composer biopics proliferating in the late '40s,

Three Little Words is

actually a very accurate depiction of the lives of tunesmiths

Bert Kalmar (Fred Astaire) and Harry Ruby (Red

Skelton). Kalmar always wanted

to be a magician but all it takes is a disastrous opening night to

make his dream go poof! So Kalmar moves on - and

finds songwriting magic with collaborator Ruby.

 

 

 

Highlights include Astaire tap-dancing as only he can, including a

lovely duet with Vera-Ellen (the first time they danced together);

Gloria DeHaven

recreating

her mother's original performance of "Who's

Sorry Now" and Debbie Reynolds, in her third screen appearance, portraying

Boop-Boop-a-Doop girl Helen Kane (resulting in a Most Promising Newcomer

Golden Globe nomination).

It's movie magic as only MGM could create.

Till the

Clouds Roll By (1946)

 

Till The Clouds Roll ByTill the Clouds Roll By finally

receives the deluxe presentation it deserves with its

first legitimate DVD release, with

this stunning new transfer

directly from the original studio Technicolor camera negatives.

The epic film begins

with a glorious, musical-within-a-musical recreation of the

1927 opening of Jerome

Kern's "Show Boat" and ends with a spectacular musical cavalcade

of Kern classic melodies, climaxing with Frank Sinatra singing

Ol' Man River, a number Ol' Blue Eyes would reprise

throughout his

career. From start to finish, the glittery biopic about renowned

stage-and-screen composer Kern (Robert Walker) features

25 stars and a nearly equal number

of Kern tunes. Highlights include Judy Garland as Marilyn Miller

asking "Who?" to

a bevy of top-hatted admirers; Dinah Shore hauntingly recalling

"The Last Time I Saw Paris"; and Lena Horne's just

"Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man".

Ziegfeld

Follies

 

FolliesTwo years in the making, Ziegfeld Follies was a distinct

departure from musicals that preceded it. Presented in

a revue format with

no storyline,

Ziegfeld Follies allowed the stars to shine in a musical extravaganza

without that pesky plot getting in the way.

 

 

 

With the "créme de la créme"

of credited and uncredited Hollywood creative talent,

this all-star revue is heaven to fans of movie musicals.

Fred Astaire dazzles not once, not twice - but

four times, including "The Babbitt and the Bromide"

with Gene Kelly, the first time the two greatest dancers

in musical

history dueted.

Red Skelton

reprises

his funny "Guzzler's Gin" skit. Esther Williams

swims, Lena

Horne sings and Judy Garland spoofs snobbery. Add to

this a Verdi opera and the legendary Fanny Brice (who rose

to

stardom under the

Ziegfeld touch)

enacting

one of her inimitable comic numbers and the result

is the musical form at its purest.

The Tennessee Williams Film Collection in May - Artwork added

Warner Home Video have announced the Region 1 DVD release of The Tennessee Williams Film Collection for 2nd May 2006. This eight-disc DVD set contains the acclaimed film adaptations of one of America’s greatest playwrights. The collection, priced at $79.92 SRP, features the long-awaited DVD debuts of Sweet Bird of Youth, Night of the Iguana, Baby Doll and The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone along with a newly remastered two-disc Special Edition of A Streetcar Named Desire and single disc Deluxe Edition of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Also included is a bonus disc, the rarely seen feature-length documentary, Tennessee Williams’ South. A Streetcar Named Desire is available for $26.99 SRP. All other individual titles are available for $19.97 SRP each.

Bonus materials in this collection include new making-of documentaries for each film, plus expert commentaries, never before seen outtakes, rare screen tests with Brando, Rip Torn and Geraldine Page, a radio broadcast with Brando from 1947 and vintage featurettes. Exclusive to the collection is a special bonus disc, Tennessee Williams’ South
, a feature-length vintage documentary that includes remarkable interviews with Williams in and around New Orleans, plus great scenes from Williams’ plays especially filmed for this documentary, including rare footage of Jessica Tandy as Blanche (the role she created in A Streetcar Named Desire) and Maureen Stapleton as Amanda in The Glass Menagerie.

A Streetcar Named Desire: 2-Disc Special Edition is a celebration of what is, perhaps, Williams’ greatest masterpiece. This edition features three minutes of footage that was deleted from the final release version (and thought lost until its rediscovery in the early 1990s) that underscores, among other things, the sexual tension between Blanche DuBois (Vivien Leigh) and Stanley Kowalski (Marlon Brando), and Stella Kowalski’s (Kim Hunter) passion for husband Stanley. The Legion of Decency required these scenes be cut in order for the film to be released.

A Streetcar Named Desire depicts a culture clash between Blanche DuBois (Vivien Leigh), a pretentious, fading relic of the Old South, and Stanley Kowalski (Marlon Brando), a rising member of the industrial, inner-city immigrant class. Blanche is a Southern belle whose pretensions to virtue and culture only thinly mask her nymphomania and alcoholism. Arriving at the house of her sister Stella Kowalski (Kim Hunter), Stella fears Blanche’s arrival will upset the balance of her relationship with her husband Stanley, a primal, rough-hewn, brutish and sensual force of nature. He dominates Stella in every way, and she tolerates his offensive crudeness and lack of gentility largely because of her sexual need for him. Stanley’s friend and Blanche’s would-be suitor Mitch (Karl Malden) is similarly trampled along Blanche and Stanley’s collision course. Their final, inevitable confrontation results in Blanche’s mental annihilation.

The film won Academy Awards? for Best Actor in a Supporting Role (Karl Malden), Best Actress in a Leading Role (Vivien Leigh) , Best Actress in a Supporting Role (Kim Hunter), and Best Art Direction -- Set Decoration, Black-and-White. It was also nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role (Marlon Brando), Best Cinematography, Black-and-White, Best Costume Design, Black-and-White, Best Director, Best Music, Scoring of a Dramatic or Comedy Picture, Best Picture, Best Sound Recording and Best Writing, Screenplay. In 1999 the film was selected by the United States Library of Congress for preservation in the National Film Registry.

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof: Remastered Deluxe Edition - The raw emotions and crackling dialogue of Tennessee Williams’ 1955 Pulitzer Prize play rumble like a thunderstorm in this film version whose fiery performances and grown-up themes made it one of 1958’s top box-office hits.

Paul Newman earned his first Oscar? nomination as troubled ex-sports hero Brick. In a performance that marked a transition to richer adult roles, Elizabeth Taylor snagged her second. The film was nominated for six Academy Awards including Best Picture. Also starring Burl Ives (repeating his Broadway triumph as mendacity-loathing Big Daddy), Judith Anderson and Jack Carson, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof sizzles.

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is the story of a Southern family in crisis, focusing on the turbulent relationship between Maggie the Cat (Elizabeth Taylor) and Brick (Paul Newman), and their interaction with Brick’s family over the course of a weekend gathering at the family estate. Brick, an aging football hero, has neglected his wife and further infuriates her by ignoring his brother’s attempts to gain control of the family fortune. Although Big Daddy (Burl Ives) has cancer and will not celebrate another birthday, his doctors and his family have conspired to keep this information from him and his wife. His relatives are in attendance and attempt to present themselves in the best possible light, hoping to receive the definitive share of Big Daddy’s enormous wealth.

Oscar nominations were for Best Picture, Best Screenplay, Best Actor (Newman); Best Actress (Taylor), Best Director (Richard Brooks) and Best Cinematography.

Sweet Bird of Youth - Paul Newman, Geraldine Page, Rip Torn, Madeleine Sherwood and Ed Begley recreated their stage roles in this bravura film version which featured Shirley Knight. Begley won Best Supporting Oscar and Page and Knight were nominated. Sex, money, hypocrisy, financial and emotional blackmail are familiar elements in Williams’ literary realm and combine powerfully in Sweet Bird of Youth as Chance (Newman) battles his private demons in a desperate bid to redeem his wasted life and recapture his lost sweet bird of youth.

Handsome Chance Wayne (Newman) never found the Hollywood stardom he craved, but he’s always been a star with the ladies. Now, back in his sleepy, sweaty Gulf Coast hometown, he’s involved with two of them: a washed-up, drug-and-vodka-addled movie queen. And the girl he left behind…and in trouble.

Night of the Iguana - With an outstanding cast headed by Richard Burton, Ava Gardner and Deborah Kerr, direction by legendary John Huston and a steamy screenplay, Night of the Iguana pulses with conflicting passions and a surprising edge of knowing humor. Winner of one Academy Award and nominated for three more, the film explores the dark night of one man’s soul – and illuminates the difference between dreams and the bittersweet surrender to reality.

In a remote Mexican seacoast town, a defrocked Episcopal priest (Richard Burton), ruined by alcoholism and insanity, struggles to pull his shattered life together. And the three women in his life – an earthy hotel owner (Ava Gardner), an ethereal artist (Deborah Kerr) and a hot-eyed, willful teenager (Sue Lyons) – can help save him. Or destroy him.

Shot just south of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, the tension-filled shoot put that small city on the map. Due in no small part to the presence of non-cast member Elizabeth Taylor, the shooting of the film during 1963 attracted large numbers of paparazzi, made international headlines, and in turn made Puerto Vallarta world-famous.

Special Features:

Baby Doll - With Baby Doll, as with A Streetcar Named Desire, director Elia Kazan and writer Tennessee Williams broke new ground in depicting sexual situations – incorporating themes of lust, sexual repression, seduction, and the corruption of the human soul.
Time magazine called the film “just possibly the dirtiest American-made motion picture that has ever been legally exhibited.” The film caused a sensation in 1956, also earning condemnation by the then-powerful Legion of Decency and causing Cardinal Spellman to denounce Doll from his pulpit.

Baby Doll earned laurels too: four Academy Award nominations, Golden Globe? Awards for Baker and Kazan and a British Academy Award? for Wallace. Watch this funny, steamy classic that, as Leonard Martin’s Movie Guide proclaims, “still sizzles.”

The film centers around cotton-mill owner Archie (Karl Malden) who’s going through tough times but at least has his luscious, child-bride (Carroll Baker) with whom he’ll be allowed to consummate when she’s 20. Rival Silva Vaccaro (Eli Wallach) thinks Archie may have set fire to his mill and takes an erotic form of Sicilian vengeance.

Special Features:

New featurette Baby Doll: See No Evil

Subtitles: English, Français & Español (feature film only)
The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone - Widow Karen Stone is wealthy and beautiful. Her acting successes are a memory. She lives alone in a luxury apartment overlooking the Roman steps where romantic liaisons take place. And waits. She soon starts an affair with the young and expensive Paolo.

Vivien Leigh and Warren Beatty are lady and lover in this tender adaptation of a Tennessee Williams novella directed by Broadway veteran Jose Quintero. Leigh won her second Oscar for Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire; their reteaming creates a similar spell – at once romantic, sinister and nearly explosive. Adding spice to the combustion of the two leads are Best Supporting Actress Oscar nominee Lotte Lenya as a Contessa who “arranges” romances in which she has a financial stake and Coral Browne as Karen’s savvy best friend.

Special Features:

New featurette The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone: I Can’t Imagine Tomorrow
