Composer Andrew Lloyd Weber has established himself as perhaps the single most powerful figure in contemporary musical theater, and his resume contains several of the biggest stage hits of the past thirty years. Andrew Lloyd Weber: Live From Beijing features Weber leading the orchestra for a concert presentation of thirty-five songs from his most popular shows. This concert recording includes selections from The Phantom Of The Opera ("Music Of The Night", "All I Ask Of You"), Cats ("Memory", "Macaviity: The Mystery Cat"), Evita ("Don't Cry For Me Argentina", "And The Money Kept Rolling In"), Jesus Christ Superstar ("I Don't Know How To Love Him", "Superstar"), Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat ("Any Dream Will Do"), Sunset Boulevard ("As If We Never Said Goodbye"), and more. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
One of the longest-running hits in the history of Broadway and the West End, Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cats has been specially re-staged for this presentation, which captures all the music and movement of the original stage production with an uncommon intimacy and depth. The cast includes Elaine Paige, Sir John Mills, and Ken Page. Included in the special two-volume edition are exclusive interviews with the creators, two featurettes, and a trailer for the Andrew Lloyd Webber Spotlight Collection. ~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide

This film of Ira Levin's novel The Boys from Brazil wastes no time in establishing the fact that several seemingly unrelated men have been mysteriously murdered. Elderly Jewish Nazi hunter Ezra Lieberman (Laurence Olivier), brought into the case when the clues seem to point to a neo-fascist plot, traces the trail of evidence to Paraguay. Here he finds an unregenerate Auschwitz doctor, patterned on Joseph Mengele and played by -- of all people -- Gregory Peck. Lieberman discovers that the murdered men had all fathered sons who were identical -- the results of a cloning experiment, designed to create a race of incipient Hitlers. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Here's another the raunchy British "Adventures" series, released on the heels of Adventures of a Private Eye. Christopher Neil plays the title character, a bloke named Sid South. In course of his job, Sid runs up against thieves, would-be spies, motorcyle salesmen, and a bevy of cute female tennis players. It was perhaps a "given" that he'd also run across a character named Crapper. The delightful Anna Quayle lends a bit of comic dignity to proceedings. Star Neil also wrote the film's incidental music. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
