Sophia Loren Box Set (Screen Goddess Collection) (6 Discs) (Large Box)

A bumper box set of classic films featuring the voluptuous sex-siren, Sophia Loren! Pride And The Passion (Dir. Stanley Kramer, 1957): Napoleonic forces are sweeping across Europe, and Spain is on the brink of falling to the mighty invasion. Standing alone against the onslaught is one brave fighter and his ragtag band of guerillas. Seizing a gigantic cannon, Spanish fighter Miguel (Sinatra) plans to attack Napoleon's army by battering the walls of French-occupied Avila. But because he's untrained in complex weaponry, he must rely on the expertise of Captain Trumbell (Grant), a British naval officer. Allies on the battlefield, Trumbell and Miguel soon find themselves in a bitter struggle over Miguel's mistress (Loren), a sultry beauty drawn to the captain's refined ways even as they race toward the most harrowing battle of their lives... El Cid (Dir. Anthony Mann, 1961): El Cid is an epic movie masterpiece, a tribute to one of history's greatest legends. This dazzling spectacle, with a cast of thousands, fills the screen with action and romance - from knights in armour jousting on horseback to massive battles on sea and land, where columns of warriors stretch across the horizon. At the centre of this powerful motion picture is Charlton Heston in the role he was born to play... the immortal El Cid. Heston is the Spanish warrior battling to drive the Moors from Spain with the vision to be just and the courage to be merciful, whose love and devotion to the radiant Chimene (Sophia Loren) knows no bounds... Anthony Mann's epic was nominated for three Oscars but, surprisingly, returned home empty-handed. The Fall Of The Roman Empire (Dir. Anthony Mann, 1964): This classic film re-enacts the spectacular collapse of perhaps the greatest dominion the world has ever known. Pestilence, greed and corruption bring a once-proud empire to its knees. Now restored with stunning scenes and a cast of thousands - in battles, gladiatorial and otherwise; martyrs burning at the stake; chariot races in the midst of which is the romance between two people.... White Sister (Dir. Alberto Lattuada, 1972): The Key (Dir. Carol Reed, 1958): In wartime England, circa 1941, poorly-armed tugs are sent into "U-Boat Alley" to rescue damaged Allied ships. An American named David Ross arrives to captain one of these tugs. He's given a key by a fellow tugboat-man -- a key to an apartment and its pretty female resident. Should something happen to the friend, Ross can use the key. Countess From Hong Kong (Dir. Charlie Chaplin, 1966): Charlie Chaplin's final film is a delightful romantic comedy, filled with the clever touches for which he's famous. Written, directed and composed by Chaplin, it revolves around Russian migr countess Natascha (Sophia Loren), forced into prostitution in Hong Kong, who stows away in wealthy American Ogden's (Marlon Brando's) stateroom to blackmail her way to the States. Since Ogden has a mind of his own, and can even resist Natascha's charms, what follows is one of the funniest tugs of war ever devised! A wealth of talent supports these stars. There's Chaplin's son, Sydney, as Brando's cruise companion, Tippi Hedren as his icy wife, Patrick Cargill as the ultimate gentleman's gentleman and Margaret Rutherford as a dotty old dame. Chaplin himself tops it off with a cameo as the ship's steward! The gags are pure Charlie and his actors make the most of them, sailing in and out of slamming doors, and outrageous situations, with ease!
