YESTERDAY, TODAY, and TOMORROW from director Vittorio De Sica features the most popular male and female leads of the Italian 20th century cinema, Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni. Directed by Vittorio De Sica (THE BICYCLE THIEF, THE GARDEN OF THE FINZI-CONTINIS), and costumed by Christian Dior, the film exploits the enormous sex appeal of both stars in three short tales set against three historic Italian cities. The first, Adelina of Naples, details the comic trials of a woman caught selling contraband cigarettes to support herself and her unemployed husband (Mastroianni). When her husband discovers that under Italian law a woman cannot be imprisoned until six months after her pregnancy ends, Loren and Mastroianni seize the moment to produce one baby after another. Loren plays Anna of Milan in the second tale, an upper class wife who becomes infuriated when her young lover, Mastroianni, destroys her precious convertible. The film saves the best for last with Loren serving up a heart stopping striptease as a Rome prostitute intent on dazzling a young man headed for the priesthood. When Loren determines to set the young man back on the road to God, she nearly drives her best client (Mastroianni) insane with desire. A wealthy socialite, a black marketeer and a beautiful prostitute (all played by Sophia Loren) use sex in various ways to get what they want.DVD Features:Region (unknown)

A lush, lyrical parable about the modernization of China, TEMPTRESS MOON is the story of Zhongliang (Leslie Cheung), a Shanghai gangster raised on the sumptuous rural estate of the powerful, opium-addled Pang family. As a boy, Zhongliang, promised the life of a student, becomes instead a servant for his sister and her drug-addicted husband and a playmate for Ruyi (Gong Li), the female heir to the Pang dynasty. A permanent outsider, Zhongliang escapes the painful decadence of the Pang household and becomes a smooth-talking mobster, seducing women in the jazz-saturated clubs of 1920s Shanghai, but he is forced to face his past when hired to seduce and abduct Ruyi in a criminal attempt to gain control over the now vulnerable Pang estate. What begins as a routine seduction becomes more complicated when Zhongliang finds himself unable to escape his true feelings for Ruyi and crippling memories of his painful childhood. Cinematographer Christopher Doyle revels in the eclectic visual spectacle of a tradition-bound China cracking and hatching its version of the jazz age. Li and Cheung turn in inspired performances, their palpable onscreen chemistry igniting director Chen Kaige's magnificently detailed historical epic.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseAnamorphic Widescreen - 1.85:1Audio: TBDAdditional Release Material: TrailersInteractive Features: Scene Access Interactive Menus

For over three generations, El Chavo del 8 has charmed Spanish-speaking audiences the world over with its wildly zany appeal. A Mexican television landmark still on syndication to this very day, the series is a winning formula of slapstick comedy and social commentary that is reminiscent of The Little Rascals. El Chavo is an eight-year-old (played by a full-grown adult male) who practically lives inside a barrel in the courtyard of a community filled with loony but memorable characters. This fourth volume of THE BEST OF EL CHAVO DEL 8 compiles some of the series' best loved moments from its 30-year history, including Don Ramon Loco, Confusiones, El Raton de Quico, and La Ropa.DVD Features:Region [unknown]Keep CaseFull Frame - 1:33Additional Release Material: Includes Ultra-Rare Episodes from the Early YearsInteractive Features: Interactive Menus Scene Access
