Le Grand jeu | DVD | (21/06/2010)
from £N/A
| Saving you £N/A (N/A%)
| RRP A marvellous rediscovery from the golden age of French cinema Jacques Feyder's Le Grand jeu is a tragic doppleg'nger romance steered by the fate of the tarot card and set against the dizzying exoticism of 1930s Morocco. When scandalous Parisian playboy Pierre Martel is forced by his family to leave France and his adored lover Florence (Marie Bell) he begins a new life in the Foreign Legion as Pierre Muller. Drowning his regrets in camaraderie whores and hell-raising he is astonished at meeting Irma (also Marie Bell) a prostitute with an uncanny resemblance to his beloved and begins a fitful scheme to allow her escape. An early benchmark of poetic realism and a fascinating precursor to both Duvivier's P''p'' le Moko and Hitchcock's Vertigo Feyder's fluid masterful storytelling make this a unique classic of the screen: vividly forceful yet subtle acutely observed yet fantastic world-weary yet tender.

| RRP A series of now-legendary stage comedies from the 1920s and '30s, the Aldwych Farces broke theatre box-office records and made the transition to celluloid with a run of hit films making stars of Tom Walls, Ralph Lynn and Robertson Hare. Most were penned by leading comic playwright Ben Travers and peopled by a regular cast of silly-ass aristocrats, battleaxe wives and put-upon husbands; nimble wordplay and finely crafted buffoonery were their hallmarks and the public loved them.Though only ten adaptations were made on film, the influence of these enduringly popular films was great and can be seen in some of the key British comedies from the first half of the 20th century. This ongoing range will include not only the Aldwych Farces themselves but those films that they influenced. They are presented here as brand-new transfers from original film elements in their original aspect ratio.FIGHTING STOCK (1935)Feuding, intrigue and blackmail put a brigadier-general's fishing holiday on hold.Black and White / 70 mins / 1.33:1 / Mono / EnglishFOREIGN AFFAIRES (1935)An ageing aristocrat schemes to secure his dwindling finances by any means fair or foul!Black and White / 69 mins / 1.33:1 / Mono / English
