Jane Russell Pamper Me |
  |
[SYN-058]
19 music tracks with bonus DVD of feature film The
Outlaw!
Jane Russell had a decent voice, and in her movie-star
capacity, she sang a lot of tunes, including "Am I in Love?"
and "Wing Ding Tonight" with Bob Hope and several selections
from 1953's Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. It may come as
news to a few folks that Russell… was a devout
Christian, and that she actually formed a gospel vocal group
in the '50s… Her 1954 album, Make a Joyful Noise
Unto the Lord, and subsequent single, "Give Me That Old
Time Religion", are the sources of the surprising devotional
music you'll hear interspersed throughout this disc.
— Mac Randall
The Outlaw - 1943 - Directed by Howard Hughes
The Outlaw was filmed in 1940 and only released in 1943
after lengthy wrangling with the Hays censorship office over
its provocative nature. Newly appointed sheriff Pat Garrett is
pleased when his old friend Doc Holliday arrives in Lincoln,
New Mexico on the stage. Doc is trailing his stolen horse, and
it is discovered in the possession of Billy the Kid. In a
surprising turnaround, Billy and Doc become friends. This
causes the friendship between Doc and Pat to cool. The odd
relationship between Doc and Billy grows stranger when Doc
hides Billy at his girl (played by Jane Russell) Rio's place
after Billy is shot. She falls for Billy, although he treats
her very badly. Interaction between these four is played out
against an Indian attack before a final showdown reduces the
group's number. |

Marilyn Monroe Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend |
  |
[SYN-057]
12 music tracks with bonus DVD of feature film Home Town
Story!
Marilyn Monroe never actually recorded an album in her
lifetime, but most of her movies featured her singing at least
one song. And so it was inevitable that after her untimely
death in August 1962 at age 36, someone would compile those
songs and put them out on record. Monroe is the perfect
Hollywood caricature of the sexy mama, every syllable she
sings practically dripping with desire. Fellow pinup queen
Jane Russell joins her on "When Love Goes Wrong," from 1953's
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. The closing track on this
disc is the notorious "Happy Birthday" that Monroe sang to
President John F. Kennedy at Madison Square Garden for his
45th birthday party in May 1962.
— Mac Randall
Home Town Story - 1951 - Directed by Arthur Pierson
Blake Washburn blames manufacturer MacFarland for his defeat
in the race for re-election to the state legislature. He takes
over his uncle's newspaper to take on big business as an enemy
of the people. Miss Martin (Marilyn Monroe) works in the
"Herald" newspaper office. When tragedy strikes, Blake must
re-examine his views. |

Marlene Dietrich Falling In Love Again |
  |
[SYN-056]
23 music tracks with bonus DVD of feature film The Blue Angel!
First and foremost, Marlene Dietrich (1901-1992) was a movie
star. But her casual singing style was nearly as important a
factor in that stardom as her acting talent. Her 1930
breakthrough role in The Blue Angel was as a cabaret
singer/femme fatale named Lola, and one of the numbers she sang
in that movie, "Falling in Love Again," became a major hit,
serving as Dietrich's unofficial theme song for the rest of her
life… These are the classic original recordings that
helped make the one-time Maria Magdalene Dietrich von Losch
both a film legend and a cabaret sensation.
— Mac Randall
The Blue Angel - 1930 - Directed by Josef von Sternberg
This is the story about the infatuation, drama and ultimate
tragedy of Immanuel Rath, an old bachelor and a teacher at the
town's high school. When he discovers that some of his pupils
often go into a speakeasy, The Blue Angel, to visit a dancer,
Lola (played by Dietrich), he comes there to confront them.
But he becomes infatuated with Lola, revisits the next
night… and his life changes dramatically. |

Judy Garland Over The Rainbow |
  |
[SYN-055]
18 music tracks with bonus DVD of feature film Till the
Clouds Roll By!
What you hear on this disc is early Judy, her voice big,
sweet and a bit sentimental, long before it curdled into a
self-parody… Other celebrities pop up frequently as duet
partners… including Bing Crosby, Gene Kelly, and Fred
Astaire.
— Mac Randall
Till the Clouds Roll By - 1946 - Directed by Richard Whorf
