Item # / SKU:  HoR
The House Of Rothschild 1934, Excellent historical and romantic drama about the prominent Rothschild family. Ater the Napoleonic Wars the house of Rothschild attained increasing power, and in 1822 all five brothers were created barons by Emperor Francis I of Austria. The first important member of the Rothschild's, was Mayer Amschel Rothschild (1743-1812), son of a money changer in the Jewish ghetto of Frankfurt, Germany. Although the English Rothschilds are still one of the country's important financial dynasties, the French goverment nationalized the bank owned by the French branch of the family in 1981 and the family has only a minor presence in the United States. Mr. George Arliss, a great actor and star in many early films gives an outstanding performance as he plays duel roles in this great epic as the father Mayer Rothschild and also as the son Nathan Rothschild. The romantic role between the two Youngs, Loretta Young & Robert Young as Julia Rothschild and Captain Fitzroy is a stand out during the grand ball when in the last few minutes of the movie it changes from black and white to the restored colorized version in early technicolor. The evil villainous role of the anti-Semetic Prussian nobleman, Count Ledrantz is played impressively by Boris Karloff of "Frankenstein" fame..This movie was directed by Alfred L. Werker and was also an academy award nominated movie for: Best Picture...A wonderful historical and romantic movie. This DOES have the restored COLOR sequence version during the grand ball when in the last few minutes of the movie it changes from black and white to the restored colorized version in early technicolor.

    Brand Name:  Dianna Ross
    Item # / SKU:  LStB
    The most influential, creative, and emotional blues singer from the 1930s to the early 1950s, Billie Holiday may have attracted a whole new generation of fans through this 1972 film biography.
    Though the film is not historically accurate about her life and her relationship with Louis McKay (played by Billie Dee Williams), it is effective in demonstrating the traumas of her early life, the color bar which prevented her from singing in many whites-only venues, her drug and alcohol addictions (which eventually led to her death at age forty-four of liver and heart disease), and the events which led to many of her most famous songs.
    Diana Ross, as Billie, is passionate and driven, and her portrayal of Billie in the midst of drug withdrawal is heart-rending and effective. Playing the role "full out," Ross deals with the script she has been given, and she richly deserves her Golden Globe Award for Most Promising Female Newcomer in this screen debut. A consortium of scriptwriters, which drew on the frank, but partly fictionalized, autobiography Billie wrote with William Dufty in 1956, has omitted or changed many aspects of her life in order to make the film more unified and dramatic, creating a film that creates even more myths about Billie.
    Billy Dee Williams is terrific as Louis McKay, appearing slick and smooth at the beginning, but showing subtle changes of feeling as he is drawn into Billie's orbit and provides some stability for her. The accompanist (Richard Pryor) seems genuinely to care for her, as, it seems, does Reg Hanley (James T. Callahan), though the reasons Harry Bradford (Paul Hampton) has for getting her hooked on drugs is not clear. Ross is surprisingly good when she sings Billie's songs, copying her phrasing and creating a sound that somewhat resembles hers, though Billie's gutsy heart is missing.
    Nominated for Best Actress (Diana Ross), Set Decoration and Art Direction, Costumes (Bob Mackie), Best Music/Scoring, and Best Story and Screenplay, this is a dramatic and showy film about a singing legend's tragic life, but it is more entertainment than biography, especially in its emphasis on the Reg Hanley band.
    Though one would not know this from the film, Teddy Wilson, Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington, and Count Basie also played important roles in Billie's career.

    Item # / SKU:  aRitS
    The character Walter Lee is a man driven to the edge of insanity by the prospect of seeing his dream slip right through his fingers.

    A dream that he thinks is his only way up. Sidney Poitier, who is the finest, most natural actor I have ever seen, plays this part flawlessly.

    Ruby Dee, Diane Sands, and Claudia McNeil also strike stunning, emotional performances as the family members dealing with not only Walter Lee's downward spiral, but also with their own issues and inner turmoil.

    In keeping with its origins, the cinematography of the movie retains many aspects of a play, and is thus unlike modern movies that cater to the growing attention deficit of our society. However, the content and fine performances will capture your attention, regardless of what you are now used to seeing. The turmoil will be familiar to many people. The conflicts brought up here are classic social conditions experienced by many different types of people all around the world... whether it is due to skin color, religion, money or other class distinction.

    For this reason, I feel this movie will strike a cord with people from many different backgrounds.

    Johnny Tough is a "blaxploitation" film tempered by a social consciousness. Dion Gossett plays a young urban African-American. Gossett continually rebels against the white establishment, as represented by his teacher. The boy finds he can expect no back-up of his attitude at home, where his parents wallow in self-indulgence, so he feels that a show of force is his only option. Renny Roker and Sandy Reed also appear in this film. Not quite as violent as most films in its genre, Johnny Tough was consigned to the Late Late Show circuit as soon as it finished its initial theatrical run

    Five on the Black Hand Side follows the familiar seventies vein of confronting political issues in Black films. The subject matter of Black Hand Side ranges from the Black family, to interracial dating, to the Black political conciousness that unfortunately is lacking in recent days. I would highly recommend this movie to everyone, in particular every Black family. This movie is a true, and unfortunately rare gem. VHS & DVD
