THE
LOW DOWN
The
first volume in a series of
provocative, shocking feature
films from the Warner Bros.
library is a restored and
remastered 2-Disc Collection of
three legendary and notorious
films. The films - which earned
their place in history thanks to
three daring young actresses who
undertook these racy, and
riveting roles - pay tribute to
an extraordinary time before the
censors cut the party short.

THE
MOVIES
Baby
Face: Starring Barbara
Stanwyck, Babyface is required
viewing for anyone interested in
how far Hollywood would go
before censorship kicked in.
This collection boasts a rarely
seen pre-release version,
thought lost for 70 years and
shot before censors eliminated
several scenes. Recently
discovered and restored by the
Library of Congress, this
authentic version of Baby Face
has been digitally remastered,
and is a revelation to legions
of fans familiar with the
previously seen "theatrical
release" version.
This collection gives us both
versions, allowing us to compare
how certain scenes were
carefully pruned, heavily
edited, or replaced entirely.
Red Headed Woman:
Starring Jean Harlow in one of
her best early films, written by
the famed Anita Loos (Gentlemen
Prefer Blondes), where Harlow
shines and beguiles as an
avaricious secretary out to
climb the social ladder even if
it's on her back.

Waterloo
Bridge: The first adaptation
of famed playwright Robert E.
Sherwood's stirring play,
starring Mae Clarke
(Frankenstein, The Public Enemy)
as a prostitute in World War
I-torn London, and directed by
the legendary James Whale.
A
brilliant idea for a collection
of movies, there is something
very special about Hollywood in
the early thirties, supremely
decadent, with film-makers fully
embracing sound and realising
that its not always spectacle
but the interplay between human
relationships that entices. For
any fan of the golden age of
Hollywood this is
unmissable.
THE
EXTRAS
Special
introduction by Robert Osborne
and the theatrical trailer for
Baby Face.
