{"product_id":"49th-parallel-the-dvd","title":"49th Parallel, The (DVD)","description":"\u003cp\u003eAt once a compelling piece of anti-isolationist propaganda and a quick-witted wartime thriller, 49th Parallel is a classic early work from the inimitable British filmmaking team of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. When a Nazi U-boat crew, headed by the ruthless Eric Portman, is stranded in Canada during the thick of World War II, the men evade capture by hiding out in a series of rural communities, before trying to cross the border into the still-neutral United States. Both soul-stirring and delightfully entertaining, 49th Parallel features a colorful cast of characters played by larger-than-life actors Laurence Olivier, Raymond Massey, Anton Walbrook, and Leslie Howard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIAL EDITION DOUBLE-DISC SET:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew, restored high-definition digital transfer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudio commentary by film and music historian Bruce Eder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Volunteer, a 1943 Powell and Pressburger war-effort short starring Ralph Richardson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Pretty British Affair, a BBC documentary on the careers of Powell and Pressburger, which considers their WWII-era collaborations and features rare footage of the filmmakers together\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcerpts from Michael Powell's audio dictations for his autobiography\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal theatrical trailer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnglish subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePLUS: A new essay by film scholar Charles Barr and an excerpt from Powell's 1941 premiere speech\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew cover by Eric Skillman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Criterion Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42356279967944,"sku":"CC1683DDVD","price":49.98,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/8486\/3688\/products\/yunzkLos81PnuwixO24PC6ZH8Nc4vM_large_decbf034-1bab-43b2-9bea-f151165575b7.jpg?v=1664834389","url":"https:\/\/videomatica.com\/es\/products\/49th-parallel-the-dvd","provider":"Videomatica Ltd (since 1983)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
