A rarely-seen slice of movie history, this comedy classic from 1930 stars Ted Healy, the now-forgotten comedian for whom the Three Stooges were originally stooges. The stooges themselves are made up of Moe, Larry, and Shemp; Shemp was Moe's brother, and completed the trio before later being replaced by Curly. Healy plays an employee of the Schmidt Costume Shop who is friends with firemen Moe, Larry, and Shemp; when Schmidt goes bankrupt, young Carlson arrives to run the business. He is immediately smitten with Schmidt's niece, Louise (Lucile Browne), but his affections are not returned. The Fireman's Ball is coming up and Carlson wants to take Louise, so Healy devises a plan for both of them to wear identical costumes. Louise will arrive at the ball on Healy's arm, but the two will eventually switch places, and Carlson will have his date. When she recognizes the ruse, however, Louise runs home and locks herself in her room, and Carlson accidentally starts a fire in his ardent attempts to coax her out. With a screenplay purportedly penned by legendary cartoonist Rube Goldberg, who appears in a cameo role, much of it was ghost-scripted by Lou Breslow, author of many of the Laurel and Hardy movies.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.20Audio: Stereo - English Mono - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Trailer

Director Paul Mazursky's dark comedy, adapted from the play by actor Chazz Palminteri, stars Cher as Margaret, a rich and dissatisfied Westchester wife who is so neglected by her philandering and unfaithful husband, Jack (Ryan O'Neal), that she's considering suicide on the night of their 20th wedding anniversary. Things change, however, when she encounters Tony (Palminteri), a brooding, neurotic hit man hired by Jack to kill her while he's away with his office fling (Amber Smith). Tony barges into their expansive mansion and attacks Margaret, tying her up and informing her of the job he's been hired to do. But Tony has been instructed to wait for Jack's signal--the phone will ring twice--and while they wait the pair becomes embroiled in a witty and clever conversation covering a wide range of topics and revealing each other's hidden insecurities and faults. In the process, Tony and Margaret become strangely attracted to each other, drastically altering the outcome of Jack's devious plan. Almost all the action takes place within the walls of Margaret and Jack's home, recalling the film's theatrical origins and intensifying the mood and heightened tension between the killer and his target. Mazursky himself appears as Tony's therapist in this delightful combination of mystery, thriller, and romantic comedy.DVD Features:Region 1Keep Case

Robert Altman`s take on the influential genre of the 1980s teen comedy surpasses most of its contemporaries in style and humor, although it never enjoyed the same success many of those films did. The film, based on a short story that ran in NATIONAL LAMPOON magazine, appears to be an excuse for the director to make
an episodic comedy that will stop at nothing to get a laugh, and while this effort may not be one of Altman`s best--it remains a funny, richly-layered satire of the teen exploitation genre.
