Sir Cliff Richard's first starring role was in this 1961 hit, which also spawned a top ten album and a number one single for Mr. Richard and his backing band, The Shadows. Sir Cliff stars as Nicky, the head of his Paddington youth club that is being threatened with demolition by a local tycoon named Hamilton Black unless Nicky and his friends can come up with 1500. The crew come up with the idea to put on a variety show to raise the cash, but realize that they must have some kind of star attraction. So, Nicky records a song that they broadcast over pirated airwaves, billing him as the mystery singer. The song becomes a hit and it is clear Nicky will pack the club for the show, but they still must do battle with the greedy Hamilton Black, who covets the property their youth club occupies.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseAnamorphic Widescreen - 2.35:1Audio: Mono - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Audio Commentary - 1.

Israeli-American actor Mike Burstyn won an Israeli Academy Award for the title role in the musical drama HERSHELE. Hershele is an educated European immigrant who lives in a poor rural neighborhood in Israel. He has been classically trained as a musician, and in an effort to connect with the townspeople he gives music lessons to the local children. They rapidly develop into a talented orchestra, but living in a poor neighborhood, they are unable to draw the same attention as children's groups in other places. Now Hershele and his musician students must find a way to force the rest of the country to take notice. HERSHELE is an Israeli MR. HOLLAND'S OPUS, a film that dramatizes the power of music and the student-teacher relationship.

This was the first major success for Fleming at the Met, and as this release illustrates, she tackled the character of Desdemona wonderfully.DVD Features:Region 0Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Audio: PCM Stereo - English Dolby Digital 5.1 - EnglishText/Photo Galleries: Stills/Photos
