Shane (DVD)
George Stevens' classic Western, adaptated from the Jack Schaefer novel, stars Alan Ladd in the title role. Riding the ranges of Wyoming's Grand Tetons, Shane stops at the farm of homesteader Joe Starrett (Van Heflin) just before Ryker (Emile Meyer), a powerful and predatory cattleman, arrives with his hired muscle to make the farmer a threatening offer for land that he intends to get by any means necessary. When Shane lets the cattle baron know that his gun will back Starrett if there's any trouble, the grateful homesteader offers the stranger a job as a hired hand, which he accepts. Joe's young son Joey (Brandon de Wilde) is drawn to the quiet stranger, whose difference from the men he knows is confirmed by the accidental revelation of a gunfighter's lightning reflexes. Shane becomes a valuable asset to the farm, but is slowly drawn into the continuing hostilities between the two opposing groups. To complicate matters, Shane feels an unspoken, and unwanted, attraction to Starrett's wife Marian (Jean Arthur). This creates a sense of ambivalence in Joe, whose son already idolizes the gunslinger. Stevens' meticulous artistry imbues the simple Western with the mythic aura of an Arthurian legend, as Loyal Griggs' beautifully composed images provide the canvas for career performances by Ladd, Heflin, Arthur, and de Wilde, in what many regard as the finest western ever made.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Dolby 3.0 - EnglishRestored Mono - EnglishMono - FrenchAdditional Release Material:Audio Commentary by Production Assistant George Stevens Jr. and Associate Producer Ivan MoffatTheatrical TrailerInteractive Features:Scene AccessInteractive Menus

Forming a whole narrative around the action in a wrestling ring, BACKYARD DOGS tells a tale of a fight for fame and fortune that is as violent as can be without the use of weapons. Using their bodies (and the occasional folding chair), the actor-wrestlers duke it out in the ring without protective gear or planned choreography.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Audio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - English Dolby Digital Stereo - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Audio Commentary - 1.
