The film launched the career of the legendary Marlene Dietrich and her multi-film collaboration with Josef von Sternberg, and stars Emil Jannings, the famous German actor of such classics as Faust, The Last Laugh, and The Last Command. The Blue Angel showcases Dietrich in performance singing many of the songs that would take on the status of trademarks throughout her long career. "A remarkable performance from Emil Jannings." -- Kim Newman, EMPIRE Magazine "Not only is Mr. Jannings's and Miss Dietrich's acting excellent, but they are supported by an unusually competent cast." -- New York Times "Exceptionally high drama for its day, this tragic, tragic tale is one of the best examples of well-realized filmmaking from the first half of the 20th century." -- Filmcritic.com THE BLUE ANGEL [DER BLAUE ENGEL] will be released as part of Eureka Entertainment's MASTERS OF CINEMA Series in a DUAL FORMAT (Blu-ray & DVD) edition on 28 January 2013 Available to pre-order from: Amazon http://amzn.to/Suq2bM HMV http://bit.ly/YdY0Gg Play http://tidd.ly/5a0cdd5c The Hut http://tidd.ly/ea3a7f2e Movie Mail http://bit.ly/YxdvYL 1960s Trailer for the re-released THE BLUE ANGEL [DER BLAUE ENGEL] http://youtu.be/P1PDu9zVWqg For further information about Masters of Cinema http://www.eurekavideo.co.uk/moc/

Wake in Fright is based on the 1961 novel by Kenneth Cook and stars Gary Bond and Donald Pleasance. It was first released under the title Outback, describing the film's arid, sweltering, wasteland setting of Bundanyabba ("The Yabba"), an earthy mining town where schoolteacher John Grant (Gary Bond) descends into a living hell when he is stranded on his way to meet his girlfriend in Sydney. Struggling to escape a men-gone-wild nihilistic world of binge drinking, habitual gambling, and senseless violence, Grant plunges headlong towards his own destruction, joined for the ride by alcoholic doctor "Doc" Tydon (masterfully played by Donald Pleasance).
