The Nun's Story is an unforgettable revelation of the seldom-seen world behind convent walls. A radiant Audrey Hepburn portrays a nun whose life journey takes her from the staff of a mental asylum to a much-desired position as a surgical nurse in the Belgian Congo. But when she returns to her native Belgium as World War II breaks out, she is torn between the needs of the Resistance and the church's neutrality. Fred Zinnemann directs. Peter Finch also star. A young nun dedicated to medical work in the African Congo and in World War II Belgium struggles to reconcile her independent spirit to the rigors and humility of a religious life.

Karen Wright (Audrey Hepburn) and Martha Dobie (Shirley MacLaine) are just beginning to succeed in their struggle to make the Wright-Dobie School for Girls a going concern. Karen believes she will soon be able to marry Joe Cardin (James Garner). However, Karen has to discipline Mary Tilford (Karen Balkin). Mary always wants her own way and, worse, is a congenital liar. Mary complains to her grandmother Mrs. Tilford (Fay Bainter). To lend strength to her complaint, Mary repeats part of a conversation that she overheard, but barely understood--a conversation in which Martha's aunt Lily (Miriam Hopkins) accused Martha of having an unnatural attachment to Karen. Mrs. Tilford is horrified and spreads the word to the parents of the other girls--with disastrous results.
THE CHILDREN'S HOUR is William Wyler's second version of Lillian Hellman's controversial 1934 ...

Jean-Claude Brisseau's film is a heady melange of old-fashioned office seduction and Sadean orgy-mongering done up with Gallic flair. Sandrine (Sabrina Seyvecou) and Nathalie (Coralie Revel) meet while being fired from a strip club and soon they dare each other into a lesbian affair and masturbate publicly. They decide to make their new sexual exploits work for them, getting office jobs and sleeping their way up the corporate ladder. Nathalie counsels Sandrine in her seduction of the hardworking head of the firm (Roger Mirmont), but then Nathalie makes the mistake of falling for the handsome CEO (Fabrice Deville), an amoral hedonist who seduces the young women of the company and then drives them to suicide. He also likes to stage massive orgies and sleep with his own sister (Blandine Bury). From there on in, it just gets wilder, replete with a lurking specter of death and her pet hawk. While orgasmic writhing is plentiful, Brisseau's straightforward narrative keeps things focused. The film is as much homage to the pre-code Hollywood films of yore as it is an exercise in steamy Franco-erotica. A strong score of classical music by Bach, Vivaldi, and others makes SECRET THINGS what ...

The Dominican Republic has beautiful beaches, beautiful people, and a little something called "Sanky Panky," which female tourists might want to stay away from. In this musical comedy starring the charismatic Fausto Mata, his attempts at getting foreign woman to fall in love with him in order to procure a visa to the United States have hilarious results. A huge hit in both the Dominican Republic and the Dominican communities abroad, SANKY PANKY is a humorous look at the little-known phenomena of seducing travelers for personal gain. Popular Dominican music, such as Big Family and Aventura, accompany many of Mata's ridiculous exploits in his quest for a little "Sanky Panky."
This DVD/CD set includes the film directed by Jose 'Pinky' Pintor featuring stellar performance by Dominican comedians-extraordinaire ...
