The Ten Commandments

For sheer pageantry and spectacle, few motion pictures can claim to equal the splendor of renowned director Cecil B. DeMille’s 1956 epic “The Ten Commandments.”  Arriving in time for Easter gift-giving, the beloved masterpiece will be presented in a new Blu-ray Digibook Tuesday March 10, from Paramount Home Entertainment.

Whisky Galore! & The Maggie

“Whisky Galore!” and “The Maggie,” two fully restored comedy classics directed by Alexander Mackendrick from Britain’s Ealing Studios arrive on Blu-ray Tuesday March 10, from Film Movement Plus.

Ealing helped define what was arguably the Golden Age for British Cinema and the birthplace of the most delectable crop of films to decorate postwar cinema. It not only fostered great directors such as Mackendrick as well as Robert Hamer and towering stars such as Alec Guinness, Peter Sellers Stanley Holloway, Hugh Griffith, and Margaret Rutherford, but it produced a group of “veddy” British comedy classics that found fans the world over.

“Whisky Galore!” from 1949, is one of Ealing’s best-loved comedies, which was incidentally retitled “Tight Little Island” in the U.S., where it was a hit. During the war, the remote Scottish island of Todday is starved for scarce whisky, until a shipwreck strands thousands of cases of “the water of life” tantalizingly within reach. Basil Radford is hilariously misguided as the island’s chief of Defense, and Joan Greenwood lends her fetching presence, but every member of the large ensemble is terrific, directed by the gifted Alexander Mackendrick (“The Man in the White Suit,” “The Ladykillers”) in his directorial debut.

Mackendrick also directed the 1954’s “The Maggie” (originally released stateside as “High and Dry”), one of the 50-odd puffer boats which chugged among the Western Isles of Scotland. Squat, unprepossessing, and badly in need of paint, she is destined for the scrap yard – at least until a misunderstanding welcomes the valuable cargo of the hard-charging American businessman, Calvin B. Marshall (Paul Douglas).

Special features include audio commentary by British film expert John Ellis on “Whisky Galore!, the documentary “Distilling Whisky Galore!”, a 16-page collectible booklet, and more.

The Blu-ray of these two classic comedies is available for $44.95 (SRP).
