Page 18 THE VILLADOM TIMES I, II, III & IV • October 15, 2014 DVD releases (continued from Restaurant page) O’Hara has everything, except Ashley Wilkes (Leslie Howard). As the war devastates the South, Scarlett discov- ers the strength within herself to protect her family and rebuild her life. Through everything, she longs for Ashley, unaware that she is already married to the man she really loves — and who truly loves her. The new Blu-ray edition is being released in limited, numbered sets, with new packaging, content, and col- lectible memorabilia including a replica of Rhett Butler’s handkerchief and a music box paperweight playing “Tara’s Theme” with an image on top of the Rhett-Scarlett kiss. Also included is a 36-page booklet on the immortal style of “Gone with the Wind,” written by fashion designer Austin Scarlett. A new featurette, “Old South/New South,” revisits the locations depicted in “Gone with the Wind” to see how the world of the Old South and the themes depicted in the film continue to inform life in the cosmopolitan world of the New South. “My Darling Clementine” (The Criterion Collection) tells the story of Wyatt Earp and events leading up to the gunfight at the O.K. Corral, which occurred on Oct. 26, 1881, between Earp (Henry Fonda) and his brothers, and members of the Clanton gang. Directed by John Ford, this picture is one of many screen versions of the event, notable because Earp himself told Ford about the battle. Though the events depicted might not be 100 percent accurate, the movie stands as the definitive version of the legendary encounter. It features Ford’s often-used location, Monu- ment Valley. Former Dodge City lawman Earp and his brothers are driving cattle at the outskirts of Tombstone. When the broth- ers are in town, their cattle are rustled and brother James is shot in the back. Wyatt stays in Tombstone and becomes marshal with his brothers as deputies. The new marshal befriends Doc Holliday (Victor Mature), a gambler/gun- slinger who runs the saloon. The title refers to schoolmarm Clementine Carter (Cathy Downs), and emphasizes the coming of civilization to the frontier. The Blu-ray edition contains the pre-release version of the film, new audio commentary featuring John Ford biographer Joseph McBride, a critical video essay, NBC- TV reports about the history of Tombstone and Monu- ment Valley, a 1947 Lux Radio Theatre adaptation starring Henry Fonda and Cathy Downs, and a 1916 silent short. “Penny Dreadful: The Complete First Season” (Para- mount) takes its name from the popular sensationalist seri- alized stories in Victorian Era magazines and newspapers. They were sold for a penny, written with little subtlety, and exploited the gruesome. The Showtime series incor- porates assorted monsters, literary characters, and real-life personalities in a single storyline that often seems forced. Set in 1891, the show places Victor Frankenstein, Dorian Gray, and Dracula alongside five new characters as they deal with sinister situations. The Gothic flavor is sustained throughout and the production design adds immeasurably to atmosphere. The cast includes Reeve Carney, Timothy Dalton, Eva Green, Rory Kinnear, Josh Hartnett, Billie Piper, and Danny Sapani. Special features on the Blu-ray release include featurettes on the origin of penny dread- fuls, the Grand Guignol, and the science of medicine. Two episodes of “Ray Donovan” are also included.
