Buy Off The Menu: The Last Days of Chasen's (DVD)

In 1936, vaudeville performer Dave Chasen opened a modest restaurant on the edge of West Hollywood, serving up a specialty chili which, according to legend, he originally concocted in the kitchen of director Frank Capra. Over the next 60 years, Chasen's restaurant rose to culinary and cultural fame as it catered to Hollywood's elite--Humphrey Bogart, Rock Hudson, Grace Kelly, Frank Sinatra, Jimmy Stewart, and Elizabeth Taylor all dined on Chasen's famous fare--as well as U.S. presidents, foreign dignitaries, and royalty. So when the legendary eatery finally closed its doors in 1995, filmmakers Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini (AMERICAN SPLENDOR) set out to document Chasen's final days through archival footage and interviews with management, staff and celebrity regulars such as Quentin Tarantino, Sharon Stone, Jay Leno, and John Travolta, resulting in a nostalgic homage to the golden age of Hollywood and the end of an era.DVD Features:Region [unknown]Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Audio: Dolby Digital Stereo - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Audio Commentary - 1.

In Don Bluth`s ROCK-A-DOODLE, Chanticleer (Glen Campbell) is a golden-tonsilled rooster who misses the arrival of the sun one morning and leaves the farm in disgrace to make his name in the big city. This entertaining children`s film is a story-within-a-story: ROCK-A-DOODLE is actually a beloved book owned by Edmond (Tony Scott Ganger), a little farm boy whose parents are desperately trying to save the family farm from an impending flood begun, according to Edmond`s book, by the wicked Grand Duke of Owls (Christopher Plummer). When Edmond tries to evoke Chanticleer to bring the sun back, the duke turns him into a kitten, transporting him into the animated world of the rooster and the other animals from his book.
