BOX SET CONTENT:
Pal Joey (1957)
Rita Hayworth and Frank Sinatra team up with Kim Novak in this delightful musical that was nominated for four Academy Awards.
Joey Evans is a charming nightclub singer who is very popular with the chorus girls. He has a comfortable relationship with Vera, a former dancer who is now a rich widow. But when Linda enters his life, Joey suddenly has to choose between convenience and something far more substantial.
Special Features & Technical Specs:
Kim Novak stars as Jeanne Eagels, the critically acclaimed Broadway actress, in a tragic biographical film about her incredible career and tumultuous personal life.
Waitress Jeanne Eagels is desperate for fame and joins the carnival to try and achieve it, under the watchful eye of impresario Sal Satori. Soon she earns a job as an understudy for a big production in New York City, but what she really wants is the starring role… and she'll hurt anyone to get it.
Directed by George Sidney (Bye Bye Birdie, Pal Joey).
Special Features & Technical Specs:
Nominated for the Palme d'Or at the 1959 Cannes Film Festival, Middle of the Night tells the story of a scandalous love affair between a 24-year old divorcee (Kim Novak) and 56-year old widower (Fredric March).
Jerry Kingsley is a wealthy garment manufacturer left lonely in his 60s when his wife dies. Despite the difference in their ages, he strikes up a romance with divorced 24-year-old receptionist Betty. The relationship is dismissed by his daughter, discouraged by his sister, and denounced by Betty's mother.
From Academy Award winning director Delbert Mann, this daring drama was based on the Broadway play of the same name by Paddy Chayefsky, which ran for over a year starring Edward G. Robinson.
