Description

One hundred years after his birth, Federico Fellini still stands apart as a giant of the cinema. The Italian maestro is defined by his dualities: the sacred and the profane, the masculine and the feminine, the provincial and the urbane. He began his career working in the slice-of-life poetry of neorealism, and though he soon spun off on his own freewheeling creative axis, he never lost that grounding, evoking his dreams, memories, and obsessions on increasingly grand scales in increasingly grand productions teeming with carnivalesque imagery and flights of phantasmagoric surrealism while maintaining an earthy, embodied connection to humanity. Bringing together fourteen of the director’s greatest spectacles, all beautifully restored, this centenary box set is a monument to an artist who conjured a cinematic universe all his own: a vision of the world as a three-ring circus in which his innermost infatuations, fears, and fantasies take center stage. Fifteen-Blu-Ray special edition collector's set features. • New 4K restorations of 11 theatrical features, with uncompressed monaural soundtracks for all films • New digital restorations of the short film Toby Dammit (1968) and the television film Fellini: A Director’s Notebook (1969), with uncompressed monaural soundtracks • Feature documentaries Fellini: I’m a Born Liar (2002) and Marcello Mastroianni: I Remember (1997), the latter presented in its 193-minute version • Two-hour, four-part 1960 interview with director Federico Fellini by filmmaker André Delvaux for Belgian television • Four behind-the-scenes documentaries: Reporter’s Diary: “Zoom on Fellini” (1965), Ciao, Federico (1969), The Secret Diary of “Amarcord” (1974), and Fellini racconta: On the Set of “And the Ship Sails On” (1983) • Fellini racconta: Passegiatte nella memoria, a 2000 documentary featuring interviews with a late-in-life Fellini • Giulietta Masina: The Power of a Smile, a 2004 documentary about Fellini’s wife and frequent collaborator • Once Upon a Time: “La dolce vita,” a French television documentary about the film • Audio commentaries on six of the films • Program from 2003 on Fellini's 1980s television advertising work • Archival interviews with Fellini stars and collaborators, including Mastroianni, Sandra Milo, Anouk Aimée, and Magali Noël • Archival audio interviews by film critic Gideon Bachmann with Fellini, Mastroianni, and Fellini's friends and family • Video essays, trailers, and more • PLUS: Deluxe packaging, including two lavishly illustrated books with hundreds of pages of content: notes on the films by scholar David Forgacs, essays by filmmakers Michael Almereyda, Kogonada, and Carol Morley; film critics Bilge Ebiri and Stephanie Zacharek; and novelist Colm Tóibín, and dozens of images spotlighting Don Young’s renowned collection of Fellini memorabilia.

Description

Disc 2 of the Film Noir: The Dark Side of Cinema XII set contains Outside the Wall (1950), directed by Crane Wilbur. Larry Nelson is paroled after serving nearly half of a thirty-year sentence and is determined to stay out of trouble, taking a quiet job at a country sanitarium. There he falls for a nurse, Charlotte Maynard — but she is something of a gold-digger, and he knows money is the only way to win her.

Description

Drawn from actual Los Angeles case files, this semi-documentary noir follows Roy Martin, an electronics-savvy burglar and cop killer who stays ahead of the police by listening in on their own radio traffic, and the methodical detectives who slowly close in on him, ending in a chase through the city's storm drains. Loosely based on the crimes of Erwin Walker, the film helped establish the police-procedural style Jack Webb — who appears in it — later made famous with Dragnet.

Description

Blu-ray pressing. Beautifully restored special edition. When a Los Angeles police officer is savagely gunned down, a city-wide manhunt ensues for his cunning and ruthless killer. But finding the murderer, chillingly played by Richard Basehart in only his third film, proves difficult for Detective Marty Brennan (Scott Brady) and his colleagues as Basehart's Roy Morgan is always one step ahead of the law. Will modern police methods and sheer determination be enough to find the elusive cop-killer before he strikes again? Visually stunning, cinematographer John Alton's brilliant use of light and shadows shine in this ground-breaking police procedural that paved the way for the TV series Dragnet; which itself spawned an entire sub-genre of television crime-dramas that are still popular to this day. Based on true events, He Walked by Night was directed by Alfred L. Werker, along with an uncredited Anthony Mann (who is believed to be responsible for the film's most iconic scenes). Co-written by John C. Higgins (Raw Deal) and Crane Wilbur (The Phenix City Story), it also features Jack Webb who went on to create and star in the aforementioned Dragnet.

Description

Shipwrecked sailor Andrew Braddock washes ashore on a remote tropical island in the Pacific, where he is taken in by the seemingly kindly Dr. Moreau and his dour assistant Montgomery. Also living in Moreau's stockaded compound is the beautiful, exotic Maria, to whom Braddock is immediately drawn. The island's inhabitants appear very strange to Braddock, and when Moreau's explanations fail to satisfy him, he discovers the truth: the monstrous natives are wild predatory animals transformed by Moreau's nightmarish genetic experiments.

Brand New 2K Master! How long can a man withstand torture... before he cracks? That's one of the probing questions asked in this tense and compelling Korean War drama starring screen greats Richard Widmark (The Secret Ways, Backlash, Judgment at Nuremberg) and Richard Basehart (The Satan Bug, Moby Dick, He Walked by Night). Former POW Major Harry Cargill (Basehart) has not only been charged with collaboration with the enemy, he’s even signed a confession. His court martial should be an open-and-shut case, except that his judge advocate, Colonel William Edwards (Widmark), is suspicious of its ease. Cargill refuses to answer questions or defend himself, but as Edwards investigates, he uncovers a horrifying truth that will shake the Army to its core. Directed by actor Karl Malden (his only directorial effort) and co-starring Dolores Michaels (Warlock), June Lockhart (She-Wolf of London), Carl Benton Reid (In a Lonely Place), Martin Balsam (After the Fox), Rip Torn (Extreme Prejudice) and Khigh Dhiegh (The Manchurian Candidate), Time Limit will hold you in suspense until its shockingly explosive climax!
