Charles Boyer (Gaslight) gives an enthralling performance as Georges Iscovescu, a Romanian-born gigolo who arrives at a Mexican border town seeking entry to the US. Faced with a waiting period of eight years, George is encouraged by his former dancing partner Anita (Paulette Goddard, Modern Times) to marry an American girl and desert her once safely across the border. He successfully targets visiting school teacher Emmy Brown (Olivia de Havilland, Gone with the Wind), but his plan is compromised by a pursuing immigration officer, and blossoming feelings of genuine love for Emmy. A moving and thoughtful film with a wonderful script (co-written by Billy Wilder), Hold back the Dawn benefits from evocative performances by Boyer and de Havilland, and an over-arching sense of romantic melancholy. An enduring classic of its era, Leisen's film was nominated for no-less than six Academy Awards and is presented here in High Definition for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBonus Materials\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHigh Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentation transferred from original film elements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUncompressed Mono 1.0 PCM audio soundtrack • Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNew audio commentary by film scholar Adrian Martin • Love Knows No Borders, a newly filmed video appreciation by film critic Geoff Andrew\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Guardian Lecture: Olivia de Havilland, A career-spanning onstage audio interview with Olivia de Havilland recorded at the National Film Theatre in 1971\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRare hour-long radio adaptation of Hold Back the Dawn from 1941 starring Charles Boyer, Paulette Goddard and Susan Hayward\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGallery of original stills and promotional images\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOriginal trailer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eReversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Jennifer Dionisio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Unobstructed View","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43118033600712,"sku":"AVAA049","price":44.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/8486\/3688\/files\/holdbackthedawnbd.jpg?v=1706320302","url":"https:\/\/videomatica.com\/es\/products\/hold-back-the-dawn-blu-ray","provider":"Videomatica Ltd (since 1983)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
