Films Second World War

These historic films are put into context by a superb, extra length combat documentary showing in graphic detail how the Nazi war machine was smashed by Allied troops, and a look at how Germany did eventually re-emerge from the pyre of the Second World War.

This 'War Archive' set of exclusive programs brings the most comprehensive collection of the Wehrmacht's mobile fighting armor ever compiled as a definitive series.

The John Wayne/John Ford Film Collection boxes together eight films from a star-and-director team rivaled only by Akira Kurosawa and Toshiro Mifune, or Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro, Maybe. Revisiting the set - which, even with its major omissions, gathers the lion's share of the Wayne/Ford collaborations - it's tough to consider any rivals. The liberal Ford and the conservative Wayne had nothing in common politically, but artistically, they're perfectly in sync. WHV now introduces a ten-disc set featuring eight of the team's finest collaborations: The Searchers: Ultimate Collector's Edition (1956), Stagecoach: Special Edition (1939), Fort Apache (1948), The Long Voyage Home (1940), Wings of Eagles (1957), She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (1948), They Were Expendable (1945), 3 Godfathers (1948).

While the world is about to be thrown into the Second World War, the American studios are going to put in place a unique mobilization in the history of cinema.
