Barbra Streisand returns as Fanny Brice in this sequel to William Wyler's Oscar-winning FUNNY GIRL. FUNNY LADY picks up the saga of entertainer-comedienne Brice after her separation from playboy millionaire Nick Arnstein (Omar Sharif). Newly single, she teams up brash Broadway producer, songwriter, and entrepreneur Billy Rose (James Caan), a showman whose lack of polish is made up in his boundless enthusiasm. Before long, Rose's professional relationship with Fanny turns into a touching and turbulent personal one. Wyler's extravagant production is highlighted by lavish musical numbers, elegant costumes and a dynamic cast, which is lead by Barbra Streisand's signature style and poise.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseWidescreenFull ScreenAudio: Dolby Digital Mono - English Dolby Digital Mono - FrenchAdditional Release Material: TrailersInteractive Features: Interactive Menus Scene SelectionText/Photo Galleries: Filmographies

AMERICAN ASTRONAUT, a feature debut directed by and starring Cory McAbee, is a mish-mash of genres. It's a Western. It's a science fiction mystery. It's a film noir replete with gangsters hiding in shadows, secretly plotting crimes. And it's a rock-and-roll musical featuring fully choreographed dances and limelight singing. Shot in grainy, nearly pitch black black and white, AN AMERICAN ASTRONAUT is a quirky, idiosyncratic, Indie experiment.After an elaborate introduction shot over a black-and-white illustration of the planets, viewers are introduced to Samuel Curtis (McAbee), our astronaut, who does an Elvis-style, hip-swooshing dance in silhouette, backed by the moon. Next, after his spaceship crashes on a tiny planet called Ceres, he awakes in the ships interior, which resembles the cigarette-stained interior of a vintage fleabag motel room. After a horrifically drawn out, closeup scene in which Curtis shaves off a thick beard with a very dull razor, shaping fluffy lamb chops and greasing his hair back, he dons his leather space suit and floats down to the local pub, a filthy pit filled with pale, ugly, sickly men. Eventually, Curtis learns about a real live girl stored in a box, who could potentially balance out the war of the sexes that stems from the all-female planet of Venus. From there, his true mission becomes clear.DVD Features:Region (unknown)Keep CaseWidescreenAudio: Stereo Sound 5.1 English Mono

Polish pianist Arthur Rubenstein overcame incredible hardship to firmly establish himself among the pantheon of classical music greats. A child prodigy, Rubenstein's career stuttered to a halt during the Second World War, which saw the musical virtuoso and his family flee Europe to become American citizens. This concert took place in 1956, and captures the 69-year-old maestro tackling a variety of works from Chopin and Rachmaninov. Drawing on a welter of musical experience, Rubenstein delights the audience with his unique playing style, offering ample evidence as to why he is so highly regarded in the genre.DVD Features:Region 0Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Audio: Mono - English
