Twelve O'Clock High - DVD

A critically acclaimed film PATTON is a riveting portrait of one of the 20th century's greatest military geniuses. George Patton, the only Allied General truly feared by the Nazis. Charismatic and flamboyant, Patton designed his own uniforms, sported ivory-handled six-shooters, and believed he was a warrior in past lives. He outmanoeuvred Rommel in Africa, and after D-Day led his troops in an unstoppable campaign across Europe. But he was rebellious as well as brilliant, and as PATTON shows with insight and poignancy, his own volatile personality was one enemy he could never defeat.

Actual combat footage and a dramatic look at the burdens of command highlight this classic WWII tale set at the U.S. Army's 8th Air Force base in England. Gregory Peck stars as hard-nosed General Frank Savage, who turns the dispirited men into a crack flying unit, with able support from Hugh Marlowe, Gary Merrill, Millard Mitchell, and, in an Oscar-winning performance, Dean Jagger. Adapted by Sy Bartlett and Beirne Lay, Jr. From their novel. 132 min. Standard; Soundtrack English. Region Free

Almost from the moment it landed in theaters with a resounding thud, Paul Verhoeven's glossy and explicit 1995 Vegas melodrama InchShowgirlsInch carved it's niche as one of Hollywood's most notorious financial/critical flops. In the quarter-century that followed, the roundly dismissed film found an afterlife as a fervent cult favorite-and this raucous documentary appreciation examines the phenomenon of it's revival while making a case for it's belated serious artistic consideration. 92 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.
