This is a double-feature of two British crime classics, The Blue Lamp (1949) and The Nanny (1965). The Blue Lamp is the film that introduced PC George Dixon, played by Jack Warner, later immortalised in the BBC's long-running Dixon of Dock Green (1955-76). Here Dixon's murder is the catalyst for an exciting London manhunt, shot largely on location in a fast-moving, starkly efficient style showing the influence of The Naked City (1948). The war-damaged East End and the car chases through almost vehicle-free streets offer a documentary-like vision of a London now long gone, and a young Dirk Bogarde makes a serious impact in an early starring role. In contrast, The Nanny has a superstar, the imported Hollywood legend Bette Davis, in the declining years of her career. Just one of three psychological thrillers Hammer produced in 1965 (the others were Frantic and Hysteria), the film capitalises on the popularity of Davis's Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962) with a comparable mix of hateful insanity and paranoia. The screenplay skilfully juggles the audience's sympathies between a superb Davis and the dysfunctional family of which she becomes a part, developing a powerful sense of dread which shows such clichéd later fare as The Hand That Rocks the Cradle (1992) how to do this sort of thing with real class. On the DVD: The Blue Lamp and The Nanny are presented in black and white with adequate mono sound. The Blue Lamp is in its original 4:3 ratio; The Nanny is cropped from its theatrical 1.85:1 to 4:3, though it's only in a few shots that it becomes obvious that information is missing at the sides of the screen. The print of The Blue Lamp is soft and grainy, while The Nanny is grainy with a considerable amount of flicker. There are no extras. --Gary S. Dalkin
Director Terry Gilliam who brought his magical storytelling talents to such films as Time Bandits and The Adventures Of Baron Munchausen sets his sights on the Brothers Grimm turning their life into a playfully grim fairy tale all its own. Set in early 18th century French-occupied Germany The Brothers Grimm stars Matt Damon as Will Grimm and Heath Ledger as Jake Grimm siblings who travel the countryside as snake-oil salesmen convincing unsuspecting towns that they are haunted and agreeing to get rid of the demons--for a price. In the meantime they set their tales down in writing creating a wealth of oddball offbeat and frightening characters. But after they are caught by General Delatombe (Jonathan Pryce) and his sidekick Cavaldi (Peter Stormare) they are sent to the tiny village of Marbaden to solve the mysterious disappearance of a number of young girls placing them in the middle of a fantasy world unlike any they'd ever invented. They enlist the help of a peasant woman Angelika (Lena Headey) and they set off for the evil forest to save the lives of the girls--and themselves. Gilliam has once again built a unique entertaining land where anything can happen and he throws in references to such Grimm tales as Little Red Riding Hood Hansel and Gretel Cinderella Rapunzel and the Frog Prince for good measure. The movie also features Mackenzie Crook and Richard Ridings as the Grimms' cohorts Monica Bellucci as the Mirror Queen and Julian Bleach and Bruce McEwan as two of Cavaldi's henchmen.

Boxcar Bertha Based on a true story, Boxcar Bertha is a beautifully directed (The New York Times) tale of railroad renegades and runaway romance.
