Who hasn't dreamed at least once of running off to a foreign country and starting a new life? That's exactly what Frances (Diane Lane) does in UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN, directed by Audrey Wells (GUINEVERE). Traveling in Tuscany after a heart-wrenching divorce, Frances surprises herself by making an offer on a rundown villa--the biggest impulse purchase of her life. With the help of a warmhearted, smitten real estate agent and a local contractor with a team of Polish workers, her 300-year-old house is slowly transformed into a home. Along the way, she encounters a larger-than-life British ex-patriot, kind and generous neighbors, and a charming Italian man or two. Essentially, the film is an affirmation that good things can happen if one lets them--and that sometimes what seems like a terrible mistake or a crazy idea is a really a blessing. Lane is completely engaging as Frances, second-guessing her speedy purchase, looking for love, and rediscovering herself. Based on the book by Frances Mayes, the film was shot on location in Rome, Florence, Positano, and Cortona in Italy. The breathtaking scenery is sure to have viewers saving their pennies for next year's vacation--or their Tuscan dream house.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33

A Cockney band of thieves pose as police officers and begin confiscating loot stolen by another London gang who operate behind a high-fashion salon. Realizing his outfit is getting ripped off by the impersonators, criminal kingpin Pearly Gates (Peter Sellers) teams up with both rival gang leaders and the police to capture the double-crossing crooks and restore order to the London underworld. Sellers delivers a typically manic performance in this little-seen spoof of gangster movies.

Before making his name with feature films such as SAFE and FAR FROM HEAVEN, director Todd Haynes made an auspicious start to his career in 1993 with the short film DOTTIE GETS SPANKED. The story follows a young soon-to-be-gay six-year-old
named Steven Gale (Evan Bonifant). Obsessed with a television star named Dottie Frank (Julie Halston), Steven is both ridiculed by his school friends, and worried over by his parents. The highly feminine kid gets a chance to see his heroine in action on a visit to the television studio where Dottie plies her wares. But whilst there he sees her character receive a spanking, sending mixed messages to his brain as he relates it to the prospective punishment his father has been threatening him with. A brilliant, assured debut from Haynes, DOTTIE GETS SPANKED offers an innovative glimpse of a future-talent unfolding.DVD Features:Region (unknown)Keep CaseFull Frmae - 1.33Additional Release Material: Commentary by Todd Haynes Behind-the-ScenesText/Photo Gallery: Photo Gallery
