1994 Academy Award

Includes 3 Movies: "An American In Paris," "Gigi," "My Fair Lady" "An American In Paris" - 'S wonderful, 's marvelous: Gene Kelly, producer Arthur Freed, director Vincente Minnelli and an ace creative team conjure sheer screen magic, one of the American Film Institute's Top-100 American Films. Kelly plays an ex-GI who loves Paris and loves even more an alluring (but engaged) perfume-shop clerk (Leslie Caron in her beguiling screen debut). Dance sequences spun around Gershwin songs accent Kelly's romantic pursuit. And the final 17-minute ballet - combining the title symphony, Impressionist set stylings and Kelly's unique talent for telling a story in dance - lifts this winner of six Academy Awards including Best picture into the ether of timelessness. "Love Is Here To Stay," Kelly sings. So is "An American In Paris." "Gigi" - A home, a motorcar, servants, the latest fashions: the most eligible and most finicky bachelor (Louis Jourdan) in Paris offers them all to "Gigi" (Leslie Caron). But she, who's gone from girlish gawkishness to cultured glamour before our eyes, yearns for that wonderful something money can't buy. Producer Arthur Freed, director Vincente Minnelli and a cast rife with Gallic charm combine talents for this lavish winner of nine Academy Awards including Best Picture. Its Alan Jay Lerner/Frederick Loewe songs can sparkle like "The Night They Invented Champagne" or caress with title-tune tenderness. "I Remember It Will", man-about-town Maurice Chevalier sings to Hermione Gingold. Like love itself, "Gigi" is most memorable. "My Fair Lady" - By George, they've got it! Newly transferred from elements painstakingly restored in 1994, the film version of Lerner and Loewe's "My Fair Lady" is lavish, loverly and the acclaimed recipient of eight 1964 Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director (George Cukor).

In 1996, the South African government established the Truth and Reconciliation Commission to investigate abuses of human rights under apartheid. These hearings would serve as a forum for those accused of murder and torture to be confronted by their victims and, by admitting their guilt, be granted amnesty under Ubuntu, the native custom of forgiveness. Covering the sessions are Langston Whitfield (Academy Award(R)-nominee Samuel L. Jackson, Best Supporting Actor, "Pulp Fiction," 1994) and Anna Malan (Academy Award(R)-winner Juliette Binoche, Best Supporting Actress, "The English Patient," 1996), two journalists who, through their reporting, inspire both the world and themselves with these extraordinary stories about courage, compassion and the redeeming power of love. Directed by Academy Award(R)-nominee John Boorman ("Deliverance," 1972; "Hope And Glory," 1987). Based on the book "Country Of My Skull" by Antjie Krog.
