NOS ENGLEBERT HUMPERDINK....LADY OF THE NIGHT

Engelbert Humperdinck

Linda Purl

Handsome David Page is loved by two very different women: Molly, an overpainted and undereducated floozy. And Florence, a refined graduate of a finishing school. Since both lovelorn ladies are played by Norma Shearer, melodrama fans know they're in for double the romantic heartache. Shearer was on the cusp of stardom when she took these showy dual roles. She makes both women strong characters, but it's her Molly who stands out: blowzy, crude, aching with love and longing for class. And if Shearer seems to have developed a formidable set of shoulders in some scenes where she interacts with herself, there's a reason. Her over-the-shoulder double was played by a young - and unknown - Joan Crawford.This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media.

Chart topper Engelbert Humperdinck takes you on a guided tour of his private life and meteoric career. One of ten children born to a British Army Officer and his Indian wife, Arnold Dorsey grew up yearning for a voice like Nat King Cole. As a teenage crooner, he made his singing debut at a working class social club where rowdy patrons pelted unpopular acts with empty bottles. Billing himself as Gerry Dorsey, the singer endured poverty, poor health and rejection after rejection... until Tom Jones' manager suggested he try changing his stage name. When Engelbert Humperdinck filled in for a sick performer on Sunday Night at The Palladium in April 1967, London traffic snarled as fans mobbed the venue... and a star was born. Catch Engelbert's act backstage and onstage, and in vintage kinescopes, film and video tape, as he performs many of his hit songs, including "Release Me, " "The Last Waltz" "After the Lovin'" and "Quando, Quando, Quando." For over fifty years, Engelbert Humperdinck has been breaking hearts and breaking records... long live the King of Romance.

Ladies of the Night is set in Toronto and Antigua. With women's loves and lives as their focus, the stories contain dramatic twists and turns: some humorous, others shocking and disturbing, all leaving a haunting melody behind. The Toronto stories capture the issues women face as they walk the ground of intimate and family relationships in that city. The Antiguan setting of some of the stories are reflective of Prince's insight into relationships, captured in her novel and essays. The characters reveal their different ways of managing a range of struggle, pain, rage, love and pure unadulterated joy. The humour of some stories complement the plaintive sadness and emotionality of the strings some other stories pluck.

The epic story of the complex, sensual, tragic, and remarkable life of a legendary Puerto Rican madam Born into poverty and then abandoned by her mother, Isabel "La Negra" Luberza blossoms into a supremely sensual young woman. Obsessed with attaining aristocratic status—armed with incredible physical presence, indomitable ambition, and keen intelligence—she meets Fernando FornarÍs, the man who will forever change her life. With a parcel of land given to her by her rich, white married lover, Isabel transforms herself into a hard-edged and merciless businesswoman—abandoning her own newborn son to become Puerto Rico's most feared and respected madam, a collector of society's secrets, a queen of the notorious brothel that emerges as the island's true political and economic heart. Set against the rich backdrop of the Caribbean and the United States during the tumultuous years of World War II, Mayra Santos-Febres's Our Lady of the Night is a breathtaking novel of passion, power, and the devastating price of achieving everything one wishes for.
