Magnum P.I. - The Complete Second Season (DVD)
Hawaiian-set detective program MAGNUM P.I. was a huge hit during the 1980s, finishing in the top 20 shows during the first five seasons it aired. Tom Selleck, who won an Emmy in 1984 for his performance, plays Thomas Magnum, a Vietnam Vet who retires from the military and moves to the Pacific islands to start a private detective agency. His allies include a couple of army buddies who also live on the islands, and proper former British army officer Jonathan Higgins, caretaker of the mansion where Magnum stays and foil to Magnum's fun-loving ways. In SEASON TWO, Magnum and the other characters were further developed over the 22 episodes, which included guest stars such as Vera Miles, Tyne Daly, Pat Morita, and others. A deft combination of action and mystery coupled with Selleck's humorous and charismatic performances, MAGNUM P.I. is one of television's most entertaining detective shows.DVD Features:Region (unknown)Box SetFull Frame - 1.33Dual LayerAudio: Dolby Digital Mono 2.0 - English

Double bill of early Twentieth Century Soviet classics featuring:THE END OF SAINT PETERSBURG: Following a poor Russian worker adjusting from farm work to life in the big city, and taking in World War One and the Russian Revolution on the way, this highly personal drama is a classic of early Soviet cinema. Digitally mastered for it's debut on DVD, THE END OF SAINT PETERSBURG is a fine example of early Soviet montage editing.DESERTER: In 1929, four years before making this film, V.I. Pudovkin and Sergei Eisenstein had collaborated on a Sound Manifesto that called for a radical use of asynchronous sound effects, which would be used in counterpoint to the screen image, rather than supporting it, as is normally the case. In DESERTER, Pudovkin put this theory into practice. Starring Boris Livanov as German dockworker Karl Renn, the film focuses upon a politically unconscious figure who learns the error of his ways. Renn becomes involved in picketing and demonstrating on the dock but walks out on his comrades one day, doubtful about the value of this kind of political activity. A kindly communist offers to send him to the Soviet Union as a member of a German delegation, and he eagerly accepts. When the delegation returns from the Soviet Union, Renn chooses to stay behind, finding a secure job as a specialist in a factory. Not long thereafter, he learns that the police have killed his closest friend, revolutionary Ludwig Zeile (Vasili Kovrigin), and he realizes that he must return to Germany and rejoin the fight. The soundtrack, which Pudovkin wrote at length about in FILM TECHNIQUE AND FILM ACTING, has an unusual density and complexity because of the technique of asynchronous montage; it could serve as an early example of musique concrete.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Audio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - English
