Bela Lugosi stars as the head of a struggling studio, who tries to contain a scandal after an actor is killed during the making of a film. While the police investigate the deepening mysteries within the studio, a quick-witted screen- writer (DavidManners) decides to solve the crime himself, in order to clear the picture's leading lady (AdrienneAmes) from suspicion.

In this 2-film installment, Daniel Auteuil presents a contemporary update to Marcel Pagnol's famed trilogy. Two emotionally impactful epics follow the hardships of two hopeless lovers, Marius and Fanny, during their time together and apart.

Jo¨elle Coeur (Rollin's THE DEMONIACS) and Gilda Arancio star as a pair of lovers enjoying a blissful cross-country hike. But the carefree erotic film turns suddenly dark when the women are set upon by a band of thieves who think they have stolen their loot, and use sadistic means to force a confession.

FANNY is the second part of Marcel Pagnol’s classic trilogy following the loves and losses of a Marseille port community. Actor and director Daniel Auteuil (The Well-Digger’s Daughter) has faithfully and beautifully recreated the grand emotions of this beloved text. Following the events in the first part, Marius, Fanny (Victoire Be?le?zy) is abandoned and pregnant, and fearful for the future of her unborn child. To secure the baby’s future, she agrees to marry the wealthy merchant Panisse (Jean-Pierre Daroussin), who guarantees a comfortable, if loveless, future. As she is adjusting to her new reality, Marius re-appears in her life like a phantom, and all the old, powerful emotions bubble up once again. FANNY is a supremely entertaining melodrama that won’t leave a dry eye in the house.

An outrageous jolt of British exploitation, PRIMITIVE?LONDON (1965) is an exposé of the hidden desires and bizarre vices that percolate behind the exterior of English life.

Digitally restored by the BFI's National Film and TV Archive, this DVD product features seven charming, emotional silent adaptations of Shakespeare's classics by early cinematic pioneers.
