The Home Front (VHS)
Based on a true story, this picture is set during the tumultuous days of World War II, when Americans began to suspect their own citizens of aiding the enemy. In the small coastal town of Cut Off, Louisiana, Camille Picou (Tatum O`Neal) continues to mourn the loss of her husband, who locals think murdered Chinese aliens he himself was smuggling into the country. They also suspect Camille`s participation in these events, which is compounded after she finds herself falling in love with the German refugee Dr. Lenz (Julian Sands). As enemy U-boats continue to wreak havoc on merchant ships, the situation reaches an ultimately stunning climax.R"

Disney fashions a modern-day icon of girl power with its animated adaptation of the 2,000-year-old Chinese folktale MULAN. When barbarous Huns attack ancient China, the fiercely independent Mulan (voiced by Ming-Na Wen) defies tradition by disguising herself as a man in order to take her ailing father`s place in the Imperial Army. With the help of Mushu (voiced by the resilient and newly kid-friendly Eddie Murphy), a wisecracking guardian dragon sent by her ancestors for protection, Mulan trains in boot camp and then heads off to face the brutal Hun leader Shan-Yu (voiced by Miguel Ferrer)--all the while struggling to keep her gender identity a secret. Chock full of the usual Disney delights--breathtaking visuals, catchy songs, and an inspirational protagonist of courage and conviction--MULAN is a welcome addition to the studio`s annals of classic animation.

Director Vittorio de Sica`s first English language film, INDISCRETION OF AN AMERICAN WIFE, examines the personal romantic crises of a woman caught between romantic love and her duties as a wife and mother. The film takes place over a few hours in Rome`s Terminal Station, where Mary (Jennifer Jones) is preparing to leave her Italian lover, Giovanni (Montgomery Clift), who begs her to stay with him. While considering her options, Mary and Giovanni sneak off to an empty railroad car for one last passionate fling, but are soon discovered by a railway worker and arrested for indecent conduct. Mary must escape the charges to catch her train--unless she`d prefer to stay in Rome and never return to her family. Jones plays the role deftly, showing the clear pain that either decision will bring upon her, while De Sica firmly plants her dilemma against the swirl of activity and life in the Roman train station.
