The Long Voyage Home
The merchant ship Glencarin rolls and shivers in the black North Atlantic. On board, her anxious crewmen search the sky for German planes. And hope they'll survive
The Long Voyage Home.
Director John Ford and screenwriter Dudley Nichols adapted four Eugene O'Neill one-acts into this compelling, lyrical look at men at sea that O'Neill considered his favorite of all his filmed works. As his sailors, Ford cast members of his so-called "Stock Company": Thomas Mitchell, Barry Fitzgerald, Arthur Shields, Ward Bond, John Qualen and the star of the previous year's Stagecoach. John Wayne. As sunny, sweet-natured Ole Olsen, Wayne does winning work in the atypical role. Nominated for six Academy Awards, including Best Picture,
The Long Voyage Home is a journey to remember. Come aboard! The film is released on Blu-ray by The Corporation/L'Atelier d'images and StudioCanal.
Special Features:
- Video Interview with Julien Leonard from DVDClassik

The Driver

The more O'Neal leaves tantalising clues at the crime scenes, the more Dern becomes a man possessed with catching his prey. Isabelle Adjani also stars. The film is released on Blu-ray by The Corporation/L'Atelier d'images and StudioCanal.
