Farewell, My Queen - BLU-RAY

Though living in a squalid Berlin boardinghouse, salesman Peter (Aribert Mog) and his fiancée Hella (Brigitte Horney) were happy with one another. However, when he gets an opportunity in Dresden-and holds off on sharing the news to surprise her-cruel circumstance and the resentments of their fellow boarders will have devastating impact. Robert Siodmak's urban comedy-drama, co-scripted by Emeric Pressburger, also stars Emilia Unda. 73 min. Standard; Soundtrack German; Subtitles English; audio commentary; alternate ending. In German with English subtitles.

A ravishing adaptation of Ernest Hemingway's legendary novel, a FAREWELL TO ARMS stars Gary Cooper (HIGH NOON) as Lt. Frederic Henry, a young ambulance driver for the Italian army in WWI, more interested in chasing women than the enemy. When seeking cover during an air raid, he encounters Nurse Catherine Barkley (a radiant Helen Hayes), and the world shifts under his feet. They fall in love, but the war keeps wrenching them apart. These painful separations force Frederic to choose between love and battle, a decision that tests him morally and spiritually, and leads to one of the most rapturously romantic endings of all time.

In the 17th century, reclusive composer Jean de Saint-Colombe (Jean-Pierre Marielle) turned away the young Marin Marais (Guillaume Depardieu), who'd come seeking an apprenticeship. The old man's daughter and protégé Madeleine (Anne Brochet) opted to share her father's teachings... and an ill-starred relationship would set the course of their lives. Alain Corneau's drama, co-scripted with novelist Pascal Quignard, co-stars Gérard Depardieu as the elder Marais. 115 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack French Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles English; audio commentary; featurettes; theatrical trailer. In French with English subtitles.
