Beyond the All Day Collection
In addition to those DVDs that I have produced for All Day Entertainment, I have had the privilege of working on a number of discs for other companies as well. Where possible I have provided links to purchase them from other sites, but I do not sell them myself nor can I guarantee that all the links work. Nevertheless, I naturally endorse and recommend all of these.

MURNAU (6 DVD Box Set)
Silent • classic • horror • drama
I had the great privilege of recording an audio commentary for the first-ever American release of Murnau's little-seen THE FINANCES OF THE GRAND DUKE. If I tell you this is a pulp mystery in the style of Arsene Lupin, written by Thea von Harbou and photographed by Karl Freund, you'll get the wrong idea. Think screwball comedy, think Cary Grant. From Murnau? You bet.

HARRY LANGDON: THREE'S A CROWD
Silent comedy • classic
THREE'S A CROWD is a misunderstood masterpiece, and one of the most singular artistic achievements of the 1920s. I am honored to accompany this glorious high-definition restoration with an audio commentary--and the excellent DVD also features a reconstructed presentation of Langdon's last surviving silent feature. This is must-have stuff, folks.Buy it here

GHIDRAH THE THREE-HEADED MONSTER
Science fiction • monsters • Japanese
Available alone or as part of a superb box set, this nifty disc presents the original Japanese edition of this Godzilla flick and its alternate English language American cut. I provide an audio commentary, which was a thrill because this is my favorite Godzilla movie of all.

DR. MABUSE THE GAMBLER
Silent • thriller • classic • German • pulp
Fritz Lang's 1922 epic is available on DVD in two different forms from two different companies. Kino has a longer restored version with a different musical score, but this earlier Image disc is no slouch. My commentary is on this one, by the way. |

THE TESTAMENT OF DR. MABUSE
Thriller • espionage • German • pulp
Fritz Lang's masterpiece from 1933 gets the full Criterion Collection treatment in this deluxe package. I provide an audio commentary on the definitive restoration on disc 1, while disc 2 presents the French version (shot with a different cast!) and a featurette I made dissecting the differences between the German, French, and American versions.

EYES WITHOUT A FACE
Horror • thriller • French New Wave
Georges Franju's best known and most memorable film--said to have caused audiences to faint back in the day, done right as only Criterion can. No audio commentary this time, guys, but I did write the liner notes.
