BECAUSE OF YOU (1952) – Loretta Young (The Stranger, The Farmer’s Daughter) and Jeff Chandler (Red Ball Express, Man in the Shadow) star in the noir romance Because of You. Blonde bombshell Christine Carroll (Young) finds out too late that her fiancé Mike Monroe (Alex Nicol, The Sleeping City) is a gangster—and she’s his unwitting accessory. Emerging from prison with dark hair and an interest in nursing, she becomes a nurse’s aide in a war hospital and soon marries a battle-fatigued patient, Steve Kimberly (Chandler). The happy couple have a daughter, Kim, but Christine’s secret past threatens to tear her family apart when Mike reappears, forcing Christine to help him escape across the Mexican border. Joseph Pevney, the director of Six Bridges to Cross and Female on the Beach, helmed this saga of love and sacrifice, shot by the great cinematographer Russell Metty (Touch of Evil). The title song was Tony Bennett’s first number-one hit and became one of his many signature songs. OUTSIDE THE LAW (1956) – Ray Danton (The Night Runner), Leigh Snowden (The Square Jungle) and Grant Williams (The Incredible Shrinking Man) star in the riveting film noir Outside the Law. Ex-con Johnny Salvo (Danton) is given the chance to redeem himself, and revenge the murder of an old Army buddy, by going undercover and helping the authorities break up a ring of international counterfeiters who will stop at nothing, including murder, to protect their operation. But first, Johnny must earn the respect of his Treasury-man father (Onslow Stevens, O.S.S.) and the trust of his buddy’s widow (Snowden). Prolific filmmaker Jack Arnold, the director of It Came from Outer Space, Creature from the Black Lagoon, Man in the Shadow, No Name on the Bullet and The Mouse That Roared, helmed this action-packed crime drama that features cinematography by noir specialist Irving Glassberg (Larceny, The Price of Fear). THE MIDNIGHT STORY (1957) – Screen great Tony Curtis (The Vikings, The Great Impostor) gives a powerful performance in the superb ’50s film noir The Midnight Story. When beloved priest Father Tomasino is murdered in a San Francisco alleyway, traffic cop Joe Martini (Curtis) vows to catch the killer. Ordered off the case by homicide detective Kilrain (Ted de Corsia, The Killing), Martini turns in his badge and investigates alone. He follows a hunch that Italian restaurant owner Sylvio (Gilbert Roland, Thunder Bay) could be involved and decides to hide his previous life as a cop in order to become friendly with his suspect’s family. But as Martini starts to unravel the truth behind Father Tomasino’s murder, he falls in love with the suspect’s cousin (Marisa Pavan, The Rose Tattoo), and his world is torn apart by old and new loyalties.

Through a series of flashbacks, Captain Costelar (Lionel Atwill) recounts to the young Antonio Galvan (Cesar Romero) the story of his harrowing affair with the notorious seductress Concha Perez (Dietrich), warning his listener to gird himself against her charms. Despite his counsel, Galvan falls under Concha’s spell, leading to a violent denouement. Ever the ornate visual stylist, von Sternberg evokes Spanish culture with a touch of the luridly fantastic, further elevated by Travis Banton’s opulent costume design and award-winning cinematography by von Sternberg himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"header_lvl2 hideSmall\"\u003eSPECIAL FEATURES\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew 2K or 4K digital restorations of all six films, with uncompressed monaural soundtracks on the Blu-rays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew interviews with film scholars Janet Bergstrom and Homay King; director Josef von Sternberg’s son, Nicholas; Deutsche Kinemathek curator Silke Ronneburg; and costume designer and historian Deborah Nadoolman Landis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew documentary about actor Marlene Dietrich’s German origins, featuring film scholars Gerd Gemünden and Noah Isenberg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew documentary on Dietrich’s status as a feminist icon, featuring film scholars Mary Desjardins, Amy Lawrence, and Patricia White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eThe Legionnaire and the Lady,\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ea 1936 Lux Radio Theatre adaptation of Morocco, featuring Dietrich and actor Clark Gable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew video essay by critics Cristina Álvarez López and Adrian Martin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eThe Fashion Side of Hollywood,\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ea 1935 publicity short featuring Dietrich and costume designer Travis Banton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTelevision interview with Dietrich from 1971\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnglish subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePLUS: A book featuring essays by critics Imogen Sara Smith, Gary Giddins, and Farran Smith Nehme\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unobstructed View","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41280900038856,"sku":"CC2915DDVD","price":155.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/8486\/3688\/files\/dietrichvonsternberginhollywooddvd.jpg?v=1683684465"},{"product_id":"aba-blu-empero011-73832","title":"Emperor Waltz, The (BLU-RAY)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom Billy Wilder, the brilliant director of Five Graves to Cairo, The Lost Weekend, Sunset Boulevard, Some Like It Hot and Witness for the Prosecution, comes this delightful musical comedy starring screen greats Bing Crosby (Road to Morocco, Going My Way) and Joan Fontaine (Kiss the Blood off My Hands, Suspicion). American gramophone salesman Virgil Smith (Crosby) wants to sell his wares in pre-WWI Austria. To get the ball rolling, he hits on the idea of going straight to the top and selling one to Emperor Franz Joseph (Richard Haydn, No Time for Love, The Sound of Music). First off, the palace guards think he’s carrying a bomb and he’s arrested. He subsequently meets Countess Johanna von Stolzenberg-Stolzenberg (Fontaine) and, after the usual misunderstandings, falls in love with her. She falls in love with his dog, Buttons. The relation is fraught with obstacles and the emperor thinks royal blood marrying a commoner is bad darts altogether—what is to become of Smith and his countess? Co-written by Wilder and his frequent collaborator Charles Brackett (A Foreign Affair, Arise, My Love), this charming farce garnered Oscar nominations for its wonderful score by Victor Young (The Paleface) and elegant costumes by Edith Head (Sabrina) and Gile Steele (The Heiress).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlu-ray Extras Include:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNEW Audio Commentary by Film Historian Joseph McBride, author of Billy Wilder: Dancing on the Edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBilly Wilder and Volker Schlöndorff Discuss THE EMPEROR WALTZ\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrailers\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Kino Lorber","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41280904167624,"sku":"KIN25484","price":25.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/8486\/3688\/products\/738329254841.jpg?v=1651615098"},{"product_id":"aba-blu-fault002-02454","title":"Fault In Our Stars (BLU-RAY)","description":"\u003cp\u003eHazel (Shailene Woodley) and Gus (Ansel Elgort) share a sarcastic sense of humor, a distaste for the conventional, and ultimately a love that sweeps them on an unforgettable journey.
