Blu-ray pressing. 2010 release containing the full two-hour performance of Liza Minnelli's 2009 Tony Award winning concert, Liza's at the Palace. This exciting midnight performance was recorded at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on October 1, 2009. Act One features favorite songs by Ms. Minnelli, including 'Cabaret', 'Maybe This Time', 'What Makes a Man a Man', and 'My Own Best Friend'. a first act highlight is Liza's special rendition of the 'Palace Medley', originally sung by her mother, Judy Garland, at the Palace Theatre in 1951. Liza adds a new personal musical introduction to the fond remembrance of famous vaudevillians. Act Two is a very special tribute to Liza's godmother, Kay Thompson, a groundbreaking singer-dancer, songwriter, and vocal arranger/coach at the MGM Studios in the 1940s.

Description

Introducing her signature number “Ring Them Bells” at a 1972 New York concert, Liza Minnelli called her life “a truly terrific absolutely true story” — yet this documentary argues the story has seldom been told accurately. Between speculation that her godmother Kay Thompson's “Eloise” books were modeled on her and decades of tabloid pursuit, the real Minnelli has often been lost. Klein's film sets out to fix that by letting Liza recount her own life in her own words, in a portrait that is by turns revealing, reflective and very funny.

Description

Screen legends Burt Reynolds and Liza Minnelli team up in this action-comedy. He is a worn-down ex-detective working store security; she is an expensive call girl. When a hotel drug bust goes deadly wrong, circumstances throw the two together to track down a ruthless cop-killer before he gets to them first. Pursued through the seamy twilight world of Chicago's backstreets, they pitch themselves against almost insurmountable odds as the gags move as fast as the bullets, building to a breathtaking climax.
