The 4th Tenor (DVD)
Rodney Dangerfield has successfully skewered song stylists on numerous occasions. His Rappin` Rodney was one of the biggest novelty songs of the 1980s and his version of Twist & Shout in the film BACK TO SCHOOL is remembered by legions of fans. Dangerfield is out to get respect for his vocal cords once again in this slapstick romp. The comedian plays a nightclub owner who is smitten with a singer who entertains the patrons. Unable to reach her heart, he tries the international language of song. After infuriating an entire neighborhood with his horrible singing, the restaurateur drinks a magical wine that gives him a tenor that would make Mario Lanza bow down in awe. Blessed with this magical throat, the hero just may be able to win over this elusive beauty."

Gulliver`s Travels (DVD)
In 1939, Dave and Max Fleischer--who created the classic jazzy Betty Boop and Popeye cartoons--turned their animation skills to a feature film adaptation of Swift`s classic novel. The film is alive with great visual and verbal gags and amazingly surreal visuals, both classic Fleischer traits. Academy Award Nominations: 2, Best Original Score, Best Song ( Faithful Forever ).NR"
