Cat No. ODNF113
Michael Winner directs this cynical tale of sexual mores, set in a British seaside town during the 'mod' invasions of the 1960s. Every year Tinker (Oliver Reed), the 'face', and the rest of the other local youths wait for the influx of summer tourists to descend on their sleepy seaside town. The arrival sparks their search for the latest sexual conquest to be had, with no strings attached and no love wasted. That is until Tinker hooks up with Nicola (Jane Merrow), a fashion model from a well-off family, who, playing him at his own game, manages to do the unthinkable - steal Tinker's heart. Now, as their situations become reversed, it's Tinker who suddenly realises that he's the one being played.

Fred Atwell (Fred Astaire) is a decorated Air Force pilot, home on leave and expected to act as a cardboard hero for a morale-boosting tour of his Flying Tiger squadron. Bored by the whole affair however, Fred takes off his uniform and goes incognito in New York for a few days, bumping into Joan Mannion (Joan Leslie), a bright-eyed photographer who sings and dances. Determined to win over the girl for what he is, and not his reputation, Fred allows Joan to think he's a waster who doesn't want to serve his country. Naturally, Joan wants nothing to do with this shirker, but then she sees him dance...

| | Ninety Degress In The Shade
Cat No. ODNF214
A rare gem of a film that was a British/Czech co-production, filmed in Prague before the Soviet clampdown of 1968 and nominated for the 1966 Golden Globe award for best English foreign language film. Vorell (James Booth) is a flighty married man with little concern for anyone other than himself. He has recently ended an affair with co-worker, Alena (Anne Heywood), the manageress of a liquor store in communist Prague, but when a government inspector, Mr Kurka (Rudolf Hrusínský), arrives to check their inventory, it soon becomes apparent that Vorell is running a scam to sell liquor on the black market. Scared for his job and reputation Vorell leans on Alena, reigniting their affair under the watchful and lecherous eyes of the emasculated Mr Kurka, whose wife (Ann Todd) is an alcoholic unwilling to have sex with him. As the temperature of Prague’s summer reaches ninety degrees in the shade, the heat of lust and envy in the liquor store inevitably leads to violence and death…

| | They Were Sisters
Cat No. ODNF242
An epic tale of three sisters, their loves and their lives, played out by an all-star British cast, They Were Sisters was voted fourth in the National Film Awards of 1946 behind The Way to the Stars. Lucy (Phyllis Calvert), Charlotte (Dulcie Gray) and Vera (Anne rawford) are three sisters who are pursued by three very different kinds of men asking for their hand in marriage. Geoffrey (James Mason) is an ambitious, carousing businessman who pursues Charlotte because he believes a demure, stay-at-home wife will make his career progress more rapidly and his extra-marital social activities more pleasant. William (Peter Murray-Hill) is a dependable, kindly man who recognises in Lucy a kindred spirit. Vera is a social butterfly with no interest in anyone but herself, so when Brian (Barry Livesey) offers to marry her, she accepts as a marriage of convenience and takes lovers when she desires. As time passes the three sisters suffer joy and heartache, but as the cruel, sadistic behaviour of Geoffrey threatens to send Charlotte insane, the sisters decide to unite together with momentous consequences...

| | Isadora
Cat No. ODNF216
Isadora Duncan was the most iconic free-style dancer of the twentieth century who courted both admiration and scandal in equal measure. Her unique style of dancing made her the guests of King's, Queen's, nobility and Russian revolutionaries, ultimately making her the 'peoples' dancer'. But her Bohemian lifestyle and unorthodox morality led to a personal life that was marred by misunderstanding, tragedy and ultimately her own untimely death. Available on DVD for the first time with an enormous selection of extras, this Oscar and BAFTA nominated film stars Academy Award winner Vanessa Redgrave in a stunning portrayal of Isadora Duncan. Adapted for the screen by Melvyn Bragg, Isadora burns her parents' marriage license as a little girl and pledges her life to 'Beauty and Art'. Whilst her genius for dance and free spirit causes a sensation across Europe, her naiive, effervescent radiance leads to an almost accidental succession of lovers in Paris Singer (Jason Robards), Gordon Craig (James Fox) and Sergel Essenin (Ivan Tchenko). As she sips champagne and dictates her memoirs at the Negresco Hotel in Nice, Isadora reflects upon a life and art that were anything but conventional...
