With A WOMAN IS A WOMAN, French director Jean-Luc Godard pays tribute to American musicals in much the same way that his debut feature, the critical and commercial smash hit BREATHLESS, did to American gangster films. The story follows the beautiful Angela (Anna Karina), a strip-tease artist who wants nothing more than to have a baby. Her live-in boyfriend, Emile (Jean-Claude Brialy), doesn't want to refuse and risk sparking major friction between the two. However, fed up with her constant pleading, Emile finally suggests that she shack up with his best friend, Alfred (Jean-Paul Belmondo), and much to Emile's dismay, she eventually takes his advice. Godard's second feature employs jump cuts and jarring sound mixing--most notably during Karina's strip-tease performances. A WOMAN IS A WOMAN is Godard at his most affectionate and good-natured. He also makes several cinematic in-jokes, including one in which Belmondo's character mentions that he wants to hurry home to watch BREATHLESS, the film that turned Belmondo into a megastar just one year before. Featuring a magnetically cute performance from Karina, who soon after the film became Godard's wife, this loving romantic comedy is a dazzler.DVD Features:Region 1 EncodingSpecial Features: Interactive Menus, Scene Access, Filmographies, Awards.Keep Case

Spanish comedy legend Tin-Tan (aka GermBn ValdUs) stars in a zany retelling of the biblical story of Samson and Delilah in the vintage Mexican musical LO QUE LE PASE A SANSON. The film takes the form of an elaborate dream sequence as Tin-Tan imagines himself as the Old Testament strongman, who is in love with Dalila but falls under the seductive charm of her sister Semadar. When Sanson realizes Semadar's treachery, he sets out to make amends with Dalila but ends up in a farcical rampage that ends up destroying everything in his path. This sword-and-sandal parody is presented in Spanish without subtitles.
