Original Cast Album: Company (Full Frame)

DVD, 60 minutes, NEW VIDEO...Called a monumental achievement by the Los Angeles Times, 'Company' is the extraordinary documentary capturing the explosive recording session for Stephen Sondheim's landmark musical. On May 3, 1970, just a few days after its triumphant Broadway opening, the cast of 'Company' gathered to record the 'O riginal Cast Album.' Over the course of a grueling 18 1/2 hour marathon session, acclaimed filmmaker D A Pennebaker ('The War Room,' 'Don't Look Back') captured the stress, the frustration, the exhaustion and ultimately the exhilaration of the creative process. From the jubilance of the opening number to Dean Jones' grumblings at 3 a.m. that he can't spit, let alone sing to the high drama of Elaine Stritch's attempts to nail 'The Ladies Who Lunch,' 'Company' is an electric mix of short fuses with brilliant concentration. Since its debut at the New York Film Festival, where a riot squad was called in to quell the outraged turnaways who couldn't get into the theatre, Company has continued to arouse crowds with its remarkable fly-on-the-wall look at first rate talent performing the hits from the legendary Broadway show.

A young woman, publicly scorned for bearing an illegitimate child, refuses to be vanquished by the seventeenth-century Boston community...Hailed by Henry James as 'the finest piece of imaginative writing yet put forth in the country,' Nathaniel Hawthorne's 'The Scarlet Letter reaches to our nation's historical and moral roots for the material of great tragedy. Set in an early New England colony, the novel shows the terrible impact a single, passionate act has on the lives of three members of the community: the defiant Hester Prynne; the fiery, tortured Reverend Dimmesdale; and the obsessed, vengeful Chillingworth.
With 'The Scarlet Letter, Hawthorne became the first American novelist to forge from our Puritan heritage a universal classic, a masterful exploration of humanity's unending struggle with sin, guilt and pride.... Click here or on the image for details
