Eclipse Series 16: Alexander Korda’s Private Lives: The Private Life of Henry VIII (1933), The Rise of Catherine the Great (1934), The Private Life of Don Juan (1934), Rembrandt (1936) 4 x DVD5 Criterion Collection

A producer, writer, and director, Korda made a name for himself through his production company, London Films, and infused the 1930s with a sense of satire and lush narration. His main focus was on history, with a magnificent taste for grand historical drama and mythical subjects.
Eclipse Series 16: Alexander Korda's Private Lives takes a look behind-the-scenes (and sometimes into the bedrooms) of some of history's most important, mesmerizing people. Korda's usual satirical license is well intact, too, so these films present a view of history you are not likely to find anywhere else. His examination of history is less about factual presentation and more about telling a vibrant, grand story.
Korda, born in Hungary, rose through the ranks to become one of British cinema's most popular filmmakers. In 1942, he was the first film director to ever be knighted. Korda had tremendous success as a producer, too, rolling out such films as 1939's The Four Feathers and 1949's Carol Reed-directed picture The Third Man.

Here we have Volume 2 of Network's Saturday Morning Pictures series that feature movies produced by the Children's Film Foundation (later renamed the Children's Film And Television Foundation). This volume is a corker featuring an ace footie film called Cup Fever that stars a very young and non-sexualised (for a change) Susan George with Bernard Cribbins and David Lodge along with some guest appearances from some top-class British football/soccer legends that include George Best, Nobby Stiles and Denis Law. The second movie on the disc is a slightly gritty crime caper that stars future Spandau Ballet legend Gary Kemp along with Roy Dotrice and the ever-watchable Liz Fraser.
