• Never Give A Sucker An Even Break | DVD | (05/05/2008) from £5.38   |  Saving you £4.61 (85.69%)   |  RRP £9.99

  In his last starring role W.C. Fields plays himself having a typical day at his studio Esoteric Pictures. Director Eddie Cline masterfully imparts a certain level of surreal spontaneity to Field's digressions and misadventures. Fields eats breakfast spars with a sarcastic waitress (Jody Gilbert) and then pitches his fractured script to studio head Franklin Pangborn. The script reading becomes a film within a film commencing with the hero of the tale (Fields again playing himself) leaping out of an airplane in hot pursuit of a flask of whiskey. He lands on the bed of an innocent young girl and tries to seduce her before her mom (Margaret Dumont) comes crashing in. Fields then escapes over a cliff in a basket. Things get even more bizarre before Pangborn throws him out and back into a reality that culminates in a lengthy frenetic car chase. There's also some musical interludes courtesy Gloria Jean a singing star Universal was grooming for success at the time. Though Fields undoubtedly bristled at the studio's insistence he share the bill the two actually display a touching rapport in their scenes together; just another small miracle in this truly unique and hilarious film.

  One of Herschell Gordon Lewis' most weird and wonderful films The Gruesome Twosome saw a return to form for its director after a short diversion into less gory (and less commercially successful) celluloid territory. Mrs Pringle's Little Wig Shop is a family business specialising in hairpieces crafted from human hair. Located on a college campus the shop is well served by the number of young women eager to change their style. But the laws of supply and demand are such that the Pringles are forced to make a few sacrifices... human sacrifices. Wielding his trusty electric carving knife Mrs Pringle's son Ronald helps his Mom out by scalping those unfortunate enough to enquire about the room that the old lady has to rent. This outrageous and blackly comic movie features a truly surreal opening sequence that has to be seen to be believed. You'll flip your wig!

• BAKUMATSU TAIYÔ-DEN (Masters of Cinema) (DVD) | DVD | (22/04/2013) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £17.99

  Voted one of the top five Japanese films ever made in a critic's poll by Japan's leading cinema publication Kinema Junp, yet barely known in the West, Yz Kawashima's richly funny multi-levelled portrait of Japanese society Bakumatsu taiy-den [A Sun-Tribe Myth from the Bakumatsu Era] is a glorious rediscovery. When man-about-town Saheiji (the beloved comedian Frankie Sakai) finds himself unable to pay for a bill at a brothel, he is forced to remain there to work off his debt. However he finds his wit and resourcefulness enable him to turn this situation to his advantage, as he interacts with a whole range of characters, from rivalling courtesans to political activists. Co-scripted by Shhei Imamura (Vengeance Is Mine), it sharply and comically demonstrates the constants of human nature just as it delineates the tumultuous political times (the 1860s, leading up to the Meiji Restoration) in which they lived. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present this classic in a new high-definition restoration. Special Features: Gorgeous new Nikkatsu restoration of the film in its original aspect ratio New and improved English subtitles A booklet including Shhei Imamura's tribute to Yuzo Kawashima, and more
