Mame
$13.98 Although it was Angela Lansbury who starred as Mame Dennis in the mid-'60s Broadway version of Mame (1966), she was not enough of a box-office draw to secure the silver screen adaptation. Despite the advice of her former husband and concurrent business associate Desi Arnaz, Lucille Ball took the role, all but ruining her career in the process. The cinematic update retained Jerry Herman's score and... |

Mame [VHS]
$5.00 The 1974 film version of Mame stars legendary Lucille Ball and is based on the 1966 hit Broadway musical, not the 1958 movie. When 10-year-old Patrick Dennis's father dies, he is sent to live with his eccentric Auntie Mame. Mame may know nothing about being a parent, but she's got love and spontaneity in spades, and Patrick blooms in the time spent with her. Though Miss Ball seems sadly misca... |

Auntie Mame
$8.71 Auntie Mame began as a novel by Patrick Dennis (aka Ed Fitzgerald), then was adapted into a long-running Broadway play by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee. This 1958 film version permits Rosalind Russell to recreate her stage role as Mame Dennis, the flamboyant, devil-may-care aunt of young, impressionable Patrick Dennis. Left in Mame's care when his millionaire father drops dead, young Patrick (Jan Handzlik) is quickly indoctrinated into his aunt's philosophy that "Life is a banquet--and some poor suckers are starving to death." Social-climbing executor Dwight Babcock (Fred Clark) does his best to raise Patrick as a stuffy American aristocrat, but Mame battles Babcock to allow the boy to be as free-spirited as she is. In 1974, Auntie Mame was remade as the filmmusical Mame with Lucille Ball. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi |

Mame
$13.55 Lucille Ball stars in this film version of the hit Jerry Herman Broadway musical, which featured an electrifying performance by Angela Lansbury. As Patrick Dennis' plucky and resilient Auntie Mame, Ball's low-pitched, growling moan of a voice (a spine-chilling reminder of the sound of Linda Blair's demon-possession in The Exorcist) and her gaudy and lumbering fashion-horse gait turns Mame into an elderly cross-dresser. In this guise, Mame rehashes the plot from Dennis's novel and the previous non-musical Rosalind Russell film. During the Depression era 1930s, she enrolls her nephew into a liberal private school, tries a turn in show business (with the help of her friend Vera [Beatrice Arthur]), and marries a well-to-do Southern planter (Robert Preston). After her husband's death, Mame concerns herself with her now grown-up nephew, his girlfriend, and the girlfriend's intolerant parents. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi |

Oscar Peterson: Live at Ronnie Scott's 1974
$11.32 NTSC/Region 0. This DVD presents a typical Peterson bravura performance, which was beautifully filmed in color in London during 1974. Peterson is joined here by two of his most frequent collaborators, guitarist Barney Kessel and bassist Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen. Prior to the arrival of Barney and Niels, Oscar plays a couple of unaccompanied numbers: `I Should Care', and a particularly impressive version of 'This Nearly Was Mine' (a not so well known composition by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II. The rest of the set features the trio with Barney Kessel on guitar, and consists of Michel Legrand's 'Watch What Happens' and his own 'Boogie Blues Study' and 'March Past'. |

Smile Jenny You're Dead (1974)
$16.31 Harry Orwell has been retired from the force ever since he caught a bullet that lodged inoperably in his back. But that doesn't mean the man called Harry O is out of the action. Moonlighting as a private sleuth, fighting off daily back pain and typically traveling by public bus instead of his own car ("It gives a man a chance to think"), he's on the trail of the lowlife who murdered his pal's son-in-law. It won't be the only time the killer strikes before Harry closes in. David Janssen (The Fugitive) portrays dogged detective Harry in the telefilm that was the second of two pilots preceding his memorable Harry O series. Among the highlights: young Jodie Foster as Liberty, the wise-beyond-her-years homeless waif Harry befriends. |

Extreme Private Eros: Love Song 1974 [With Book]
$21.58 Noted Japanese documentary director Kazuo Hara makes an obsessive, compelling film about Takeda Miyuki, his former lover. Drawn by her letters, he goes to Okinawa and documents this remarkably strong-willed woman as she has a relationship with an African-American soldier, bears their interracial child alone, and discusses the director's shortcomings with Hara's producer and lover, Sachiko Kobayashi. This film is a landmark in the development of Japanese documentaries, as it began a shift in perspective from collective films about social issues, as seen in Shinsuke Ogawa's early works, to intensely personal works about individuals. ~ Jonathan Crow, Rovi |

Demis Roussos: Live at the Royal Albert Hall - 30 December 1974
$13.99 2010 live release from the Greek-Egyptian singer. Born in Egypt, Demis participated in a series of musical groups once he settled in Greece, beginning with The Idols when he was 17. After this he joined We Five (not the San Francisco, California Folk-Rock group), another covers band which had limited success in Greece. He came to a wider audience in 1968 when he joined Progressive Rock band Aphrodite's Child, initially as singer but later also playing bass guitar. His distinctive operatic vocal style helped propel the band to international success, notably on their final album 666, which became something of a cult classic. |
