Peter O'Toole stars as Murphy, a stranded Irish merchant seaman who is the sole survivor of a WWII German U-boat attack in foreign waters. Rescued by Louis (Philippe Noiret), a French oil engineer, he is taken to a small village hospital and treated by Doctor Haiden (Sian Phillips), a strong-willed and beautiful British doctor. Despite the impending end of the war, Murphy is haunted by visions of the bloody attack on his boat and fellow sailors and will not rest until he has revenge.The German navy is still in hiding nearby; as Murphy recuperates, he learns of a derelict seaplane that he rebuilds in order to mount his own private campaign against the Germans. Against the backdrop of the remote tropical village, Murphy teaches himself how to fly the run-down plane, and with a rocky start and some daredevil flying he begins his plan of attack, making homemade explosives with Louis's help. Despite the threat of death and his ever-growing fascination with the beautiful doctor, Murphy is determined to win his own war and will not rest until he sees the German U-boat destroyed. This beautifully filmed saga, reminiscent of such wartime romances as THE AFRICAN QUEEN and TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT, was based on the novel by Max Catto and shot on location in Venezuela.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseWidescreen AnamorphicAudio: Dolby Digital Mono - English Dolby Digital Mono - French

NATIONAL VELVET is the poignant family story that made a young Elizabeth Taylor a star. Taylor excels as Velvet Brown, a 1920s working-class girl whose dreams of owning her own horse become a reality when she wins Pie, a wild and unruly horse, in a raffle. With the help of Mi Taylor (Mickey Rooney), a skittish, gun-shy ex-jockey, Velvet trains Pie to be a race champion despite the wishes of her loving but cautious parents (Donald Crisp and Ann Revere). Velvet's determination pays off, and the Brown family (including Angela Lansbury as Edwina, Velvet's sophisticated older sister) pools its money and enters the family pride and joy in the prestigious Grand National race, only to have its hopes dashed when the rider renegs--leading Velvet to do something extraordinary. This uplifting adaptation of Enid Bagnold's novel features stunning photography of coastal England and acclaimed crosscut editing that heightens the tension in the famous race scene. Young costars Elizabeth Taylor and Mickey Rooney are fabulous together, full of youthful charm and exuberance, ably supported by a first-rate ensemble cast.DVD Features:Region 1 EncodingKeep CaseScene Selections
