Why Change Your Wife/Miss Lulu Bett (Region 1) - Why Change Your Wife & Miss Lulu BeReleasedatum: 29 november 2005
As described by director Cecil B. DeMille in his autobiography, Why Change Your Wife? stars Gloria Swanson "as an exceedingly prim and proper wife whose virtues are her only vices and whose efforts to impose her tastes and perfectionism upon her husband cause her to lose him to another, more attractive woman, until at last the wife learns that being virtuous does not mean being dowdy and that being cultured is not inconsistent with being human." Wlliam deMille produced and directed Miss Lulu Bett, a film of extraordinary conviction and insight. It was then often the custom for unmarried women to lodge with family; thus we discover Miss Lulu in a boring Midwestern town, an exploited household drudge for her sister and her overbearing brother-in-law. In the course of the story (based upon the Pulitzer Prize play and novel by Zona Gale), Lulu evolves from slavery into an attractive and self-assured woman, prepared to make her own life. Revealed through wonderful performances and clever use of props, the characters are extraordinarily solid and involving. Both films are tinted, in excellent condition, and supported by new music scores performed by the Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra.
