The Gold Rush - DVD

A tunnel collapses at the Sonderditch gold mine. The collapse was no accident, but part of a plan by a criminal syndicate, which includes the mine owner's son-in-law Manfred Steyner (Bradford Dillman), who wants to destroy the mine and raise the price of gold on the world markets. The mine's General Manager was killed in the tunnel collapse, and the mine owner needs a new replacement. Rod Slater (Roger Moore) is chosen as new General Manager. Slater meets Steyner's wife Terry (Susannah York) and is attracted to her, and he and Terry start a love affair. Slater, unaware of the criminal plan, agrees to carry out the drilling. Steyner knows that Slater is having an affair with his wife, but allows it to continue because it will keep Slater away from the mine, allowing for another mine collapse. Slater and Terry holiday together while disaster strikes at the mine. Slater hears about the disaster, and he and Terry return. What happens next is a suspenseful ending you must see for yourself! This is Roger Moore at his best. An action-thriller of a film! ! (118 minutes - 1974 - Color - 16 9 widescreen)

The General [DIGITAL VIDEO DISC] Silent Movie Released 2015 product/publication from Reel Vault

SILENT MOVIE is director Mel Brooks's comic tribute to the golden days of the silent screen. A movie within a movie, SILENT MOVIE stars Brooks as Mel Funn, a filmmaker who has seen better days-for one thing, he's just come out of a bout with the bottle. When his best friends (Marty Feldman and Dom DeLuise) rescue him from despair and convince him to make another attempt at moviemaking, Mel comes up with an idea-a silent picture. Alas, this is the 1970s, and in order to get backing from wacky, frazzled studio chief Sid Caesar, the three pals have to get lots of celebrities to agree to be in their silent picture. SILENT MOVIE is, in fact, silent, and all the celebrities play themselves (or parodies of themselves). Funny, warm, and packed with sight gags galore, the film evokes the days of Chaplin, Keaton, and Pickford and Fairbanks while remaining oddly, and wondrously, contemporary. There is hardly a funnier scene than when Burt Reynolds-vainly admiring himself in the mirror while showering-is talked-up about the movie by DeLuise, Brooks, and Feldman, all in the shower together.
