AMERICAN EXPERIENCE presents an exhaustive and essentially uncritical portrait of Ronald Reagan, an ex-movie actor (1964's THE KILLERS) and television commercial pitchman who became President of the United States in 1980, served two terms, then developed Alzheimer's Disease several years later. The son of an alcoholic father, his careers included radio baseball announcer (he would pretend to be watching a game live while actually reconstructing it from teletype bulletins); 1930s Warner Brothers movie contract player (co-starring with Errol Flynn and David Niven in action spectaculars); Screen Actors Guild president seeking out communists; TV show host and Boraxo commercial spokesperson--with a brief sideline as a straw-hatted Las Vegas casino song-and-dance man prancing around the stage with a showgirl on each arm--before an electrifying television address for Goldwater's presidential candidacy in 1964 catapulted him into politics and he became California's governor two years later. The program chronicles each extraordinary step in his zigzagging ascent to leadership of the Free World with frequently surprising film or vintage photographs. Interviews with Reagan's family members about his shooting in 1981 prove especially revealing. The incident was far more serious and had a far greater impact on his physical and mental health than the administration revealed at the time. Mikhail Gorbachev--Reagan's counterpart in the Soviet government--and assorted staffers and politicians who knew Reagan also offer their insights on this enigmatic giant of the twentieth century.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33

Created by animators Friz Freleng and David H. DePatie, the Pink Panther debuted in the opening credits of Blake Edwards`s feature film of the same name, but was so popular with audiences that he became the star of numerous cartoons between 1964 and 1980. This collection contains 27 of the cat`s zany adventures, as the Pink Panther becomes a cattle herder out west, joins the army, and pilots a jet.

Produced for the PBS series THE AMERICAN EXPERIENCE, Mr. Epstein and Mr. Lennon`s film tells one of the stories behind Welles` clash with publishing magnate William Randolph Hearst over CITIZEN KANE. Angered that Charles Foster Kane was a thinly veiled version of himself, Hearst used his considerable money and influence in a variety of ways to try to prevent the film from ever being seen. Of course, his plan ultimately failed, as CITIZEN KANE is routinely hailed as the greatest film ever. However, the feud that erupted between the two men is as fascinating as anything that Welles ever put on the big screen. This film was also the basis for the HBO film RKO 281.

Montana's Glacier National Park rests near the very north of the United States, where the weather is crisp and cool. A natural masterwork of frozen glaciers, clear streams, and emerald green lakes, the Park is nothing short of enchanting. This film captures the Park from all different angles--overhead, on the ground, and from the gorgeous Going-to-the-Sun highway.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Audio: Dolby Digital Stereo - English
