RAMONA (1928) - Blu-ray Release of Classic Silent Drama Starring Dolores Del Rio

BUY FROM AMAZON

Product Description: Hollywood has a long and problematic history of depicting Indigenous Peoples on screen, but Edwin Carewe’s Ramona shows that filmmakers of the silent era could exercise sensitivity and empathy. Based on the popular novel by Helen Hunt Jackson, set in 19th-century California, Ramona stars Dolores Del Rio as a woman of mixed race, who abandons her position of privilege in order to marry a Native American (Warner Baxter). At first they find an idyllic happiness in the wilderness (much of the film was shot at Zion National Park in Utah). As the years pass, they are confronted by various forms of racism, and Ramona’s hopeful love story becomes a tale of social injustice and tragic loss. This edition was restored by the Library of Congress from color-tinted 35mm materials preserved by Gosfiolmofond of Russia and the Národní National Film Archive of the Czech Republic.

BUY FROM AMAZON

Product Description: Orson Welles' touches of cinematic brilliance make Journey Into Fear a stunning success. From Welles' Mercury Theater comes this imaginative and exciting tale of terror (NY TIMES). Under the direction of Norman Foster, Joseph Cotten (who also wrote the screenplay, adapted from the novel by Eric Ambler) stars as an American gunnery engineer pursued by Gestapo agents. His adventures make him cross paths with an impressive array of characters portrayed by Dolores Del Rio, Ruth Warrick, Agnes Moorehead, Everett Sloane, Hans Conried, and Welles himself, who plays Colonel Haki, head of the Turkish Secret Police. The cinematography by Karl Struss in low-key and stylized, with a reviewer of the era pointing to its Brilliant atmosphere, the nightmare of pursuit, and when the shock comes it leaps at the eye and ear. Journey Into Fear is a thriller worthy of the cinematic master Orson Welles.
