Six of the most highly regarded comedies ever made appear in this compilation, individually described below:BRINGING UP BABY - A nonstop profusion of hilarious calamities, coincidences, and misunderstandings ensue when an accident-prone heiress turns a sheltered scientist's life upside down. Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant helm perhaps the greatest comedy ever filmed, featuring a script with everything from raucous slapstick to sophisticated drawing room humor, and performances so rich that the movie must to be seen to be believed. Howard Hawks directs BRINGING UP BABY with the control of a master, creating the finest and most definitive example of brilliant screwball comedy ever to reach the screen. So ahead of its time that it was a box-office failure, BRINGING UP BABY feels like it could have been made yesterday--if only two light comedy performers as phenomenal as Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn could ever be found again.THE PHILADELPHIA STORY -
Katharine Hepburn portrays heiress Tracy Lord, pursued as she prepares for her wedding by an ex-husband (Cary Grant) and a scandal-sheet reporter (James Stewart in his Oscar-winning supporting role). The light comedy, based on the play by Phillip Barry, was first a Broadway sensation with Hepburn, who acquired the screen rights, claimed the starring role, and chose the director (George Cukor), screenwriter, and lead cast.DINNER AT EIGHT - This poignant 1930s comedy features nearly flawless performances by an all-star cast under the deft direction of George Cukor. Based on the successful play by Edna Ferber and George Kaufman, DINNER AT EIGHT is the tale of a socially scheming Park Avenue hostess (Billie Burke) who performs a series of clever manipulations to bring about a dinner party for an aristocratic English couple. Wallace Beery, Marie Dressler, Jean Harlow, and both John and Lionel Barrymore show up at the party.LIBELED LADY - A conniving newspaper editor (Spencer Tracy) uses his

The Late Show (DVD) The Late Show (DVD) » The Late Show (DVD)

Art Carney stars as aging gumshoe Ira Wells in Robert Benton's affectionately offbeat homage to the detective genre. With a bad leg, a hearing aid, and a bleeding ulcer, the sixtysomething private investigator, who lives in a seedy L.A. boardinghouse, is well past his physical prime but still manages to make ends meet at his trade. When Margo (Lily Tomlin), a ditsy 1960s refugee in her thirties, tries to hire him to find her missing cat, Ira's enthusiasm is limited. But after agreeing to help her, he realizes that Ron Birdwell (Eugene Roche), the fence who stole her cat, may also be involved in the death of his partner, Harry (Howard Duff). As Ira continues his investigation into his partner's death, Margo proves to be sharper than her appearance suggests, and the two begin an uneasy alliance. While more than fulfilling the required twists of the genre, THE LATE SHOW is less about the murder mystery than the seriocomic relationship that develops between the two idiosyncratic protagonists. The chemistry between Carney and Tomlin is nearly perfect, and Benton's subtle script (nominated for a Best Original Screenplay Academy Award) is able to suggest both the loneliness and the shared qualities that bring this seemingly disparate pair together.DVD Features:Region 1Snap CaseWidescreen - 1.85Audio: Mono - English Mono - French

Stage Beauty (DVD) Stage Beauty (DVD) » Stage Beauty (DVD)

Billy Crudup and Claire Danes give extraordinary performances in Richard Eyre's STAGE BEAUTY, set in Restoration England in the 1660s. After Oliver Cromwell's 18-year ban on stage productions, King Charles II took the throne and encouraged the return of the theater; however, women were not permitted to act, so men had to play the female roles. In STAGE BEAUTY, Crudup stars as Ned Kynaston, the biggest star of the day, wowing audiences as Desdemona in Shakespeare's OTHELLO. The gorgeous actor's dresser, Maria (whose full name is Margaret Hughes), is not only deeply devoted to Kynaston, she is also in love with him and the theater, so much so that after his performance, she runs to the nearby Cockpit Tavern to play Desdemona herself, even though it is against the law. All the while, diarist Samuel Pepys (Hugh Bonneville) scribbles notes on all that is going on around him, detailing the transition from the last great male actor playing female roles to the first great female actress to take the stage in England.Reminiscent of SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE (in fact, the excellent Tom Wilkinson plays a theater owner in both films), STAGE BEAUTY features a splendid supporting cast, including Rupert Everett as Charles II, Zoe Tapper as his mistress Nell Gwyn, Ben Chaplin as the bisexual Duke of Buckingham, and Richard Griffiths as Sir Charles Sedley, who takes Hughes under his wing. STAGE BEAUTY is a treat for lovers of Shakespeare and the craft of acting, as the competition--and possible romance--between Kynaston and Hughes leads to a deep examination of character, personality, loyalty, and love.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseAnamorphic WidescreenAudio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - English Dolby Digital 2.0 - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Deleted Scenes Audio Commentary Production Interviews Behind the Scenes Footage Trailers

Cezanne Still Life Framed Canvas Collection » Cezanne Still Life Framed Canvas Collection

Regarded as one of the founders of modern art, Cezanne had an undeniable talent for the treatment of space, mass, and color. Though he has produced no school, he has given impulse directly or indirectly to almost every new movement since he died. Cezanne is richer in suggestive content than one might suppose and committed to the canvas a great span of perception and mood. Cezanne's work gives us the joy of beautiful painting.


This Collection includes Still Life, Apples and Oranges, and Still Life with Fruit Basket. These selections clearly express Cezanne's concept of the grand in the weight and complexity of variation. Rich in tone, complex in composition, it is easy to see why Cezanne is such a revered master.

All three pieces include a sculpted frame with gentle engravings designed to emphasize the art. The frames also include a wooden liner with a subtle fillet. The frame color is black and a rich antique gold as an accent and wood liner.


Our canvas fine art replicas surpass most reproductions available in the market today. Each canvas is recreated in amazing detail so that even the subtlest brushstroke becomes vibrant.
Artist-grade canvas is hand-stretched over wooden stretcher bars by skilled artisans and hand coated with protectants to insure archival properties.

This framed canvas collection is being custom built for you. Please allow 5 business days for the product to leave our warehouse.

Hey Arnold! The Movie (DVD) » Hey Arnold! The Movie (DVD)

The popular Nickelodeon cartoon HEY ARNOLD! gets its big screen animation debut with this feature, directed by Tuck Tucker. The plot finds the kid with the football-shaped head (Arnold, voiced by Spence Klein) working overtime to save his New York City neighborhood. Paul Sorvino supplies the voice of the sinister corporate bad guy Scheck, who intends to bulldoze Arnold's block in order to make room for a shopping mall-plex. With the adults too passive to lift a finger in their own defense (or else profiting from the deal), it is up to Arnold to devise a plan. Luckily he has friends to help him out, like Gerald (Jamil Walker Smith) and Helga (Francesca Smith)--the abusive little girl who harbors a secret crush on him. Arnold develops a crush of his own, on Bridget (Jennifer Jason Leigh), the slinky local super hero who helps him out with a little industrial espionage. Other recognizable voices include Christopher Lloyd and Dan Castallenata (Homer on THE SIMPSONS) as Arnold's Grandpa Phil. The simple, colorful animation and amiable story should make it a hit with young children already enthralled by the television show. Series creator Craig Bartlett cowrote the script with Steve Viksten.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseWidescreenFull ScreenAudio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - English Dolby Digital 2.0 - English Dolby Digital 2.0 - FrenchAdditional Release Material: TrailerInteractive Features: Interactive Menus Scene Selection CHARLOTTE'S WEB 2 Interactive Game
