• The Music Teacher | DVD | (25/03/2002) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

  Released in 1988, Le Maître de Musique ("The Music Teacher") is a film of its time. Director Gerard Corbiau unashamedly merges elements of Amadeus, Diva and Les Liasons Dangereuses in this tale of passion and intrigue, set in France just before World War One--hence the extracts from suitably valedictory Mahler scores. Already established as a world-class baritone, José van Dam here demonstrates his acting credentials as the world-weary Joachim Dallayrac, anxious to pass on his acquired knowledge to his protégés: the impressionable Sophie (stylishly played by Anne Roussel), and the former conman Jean (over-earnestly taken by Phillipe Volter). The loyalty and rebellion that govern the relationships between teacher and pupils is put to the test with their appearance at a singing contest hosted by Prince Scotti (vividly souped-up by Patrick Bauchau) whom Dallayrac had defeated in a similar event 20 years before. The outcome is intensely theatrical, with Art triumphing over ambition in no uncertain terms. This is enjoyable viewing, but not a film to go back to often. On the DVD: Le Maître de Musique is presented on disc in a 16:9 aspect ratio that reproduces decently, though with a certain dimness in indoor scenes. There are English-only subtitles, but not with the original trailer. The screen biography of Gerard Corbiau merely reproduces what is in the booklet, while the half-dozen stills are an attractive but hardly major addition. --Richard Whitehouse

• The Ghost And Mrs Muir | DVD | (30/06/2003) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.99

  Joseph Mankiewicz's moody 1947 classic The Ghost and Mrs Muir is less a ghost story than a romantic fantasy, a handsome drama of impossible love. Independent young widow Lucy Muir (the luminous Gene Tierney), desperate to escape her uptight in-laws, falls in love with a grand seaside house and moves in, only to discover the cantankerous ghost of the hot-tempered Captain Gregg (a histrionically flamboyant performance by Rex Harrison). Lucy refuses to let the bombastic captain frighten her away, earning his respect, his friendship, and later his love. They team up to turn the captain's salty memoirs into a bestseller, but as his affection grows he fades away, leaving Lucy free to undertake a more worldly suitor, notably a charismatic children's author (George Sanders at his smarmy smoothest) with his own guarded secret. Charles Lang's melancholy black-and-white photography and Bernard Herrmann's haunting score set the tone for this sublime adult drama, and Tierney delivers one of her most understated performances as the resolute Mrs Muir, Mankiewicz turns this ghost story into a refreshingly mature and down-to-earth romance. --Sean Axmaker
