"Actor: Cecil Barry"

• A Romance of Seville | DVD | (07/09/2015) from £4.96   |  Saving you £5.03 (50.40%)   |  RRP £9.99

  Featuring gorgeous cinematography from Claude Friese-Greene, this stirring drama of romance and derring-do features an early film role for debonair Egyptian-born actor Alexandre D'Arcy, playing opposite Russian-British star Marguerite Allan. Initially released as a silent film with Pathecolor sequences in May 1929, A Romance of Seville was re-released in July 1930 without the stencil colouring but with new titles and a soundtrack showcasing a feature-length medley of colourful Spanish music. The Pathecolor version no longer exists, but the re-release is presented here in a brand-new transfer from original film elements, in its as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio. Dolores and Ramon celebrate their arranged betrothal with little enthusiasm: Dolores has a lover, and Ramon wants his freedom so that he can pursue Pepita. Having heard of Ramon's betrothal, Pepita gives her heart to another but when bandits accost her and try to rob her father, they give the dashing Ramon just the chance he needs to prove the gallant lover!

• Doctor Jekyll And Mr Hyde | DVD | (14/05/2007) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £9.99

  In this one of the original versions of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde silent matinee idol John Barrymore is Henry Jekyll a clean living cultured doctor who helps the poor and who is in love with the beautiful Millicent Carew. But Jekyll is open to temptation particularly by Millicent's father Sir George who corrupts the saintly Jekyll by introducing him to the fleshpots of Victorian London. Considered in his day as the Screen's greatest actor this film is regarded as many as the bench mark from which all others are judged. A true classic film.
