This article focuses on the videos of motion pictures. Open Doors (Porte Aperte) by Gianni Amelio (subtitled; Orion Home Video), from a novel by Leonardo Sciascia, is a 1990 Italian film set in Palermo in 1937. Open Doors and its director keep faith with the work of a great writer. Ashes and Embers picks from four story lines over a stretch of eight years: Ned and his family, Ned and his job, Ned and his girlfriend Liza Jane (Kathy Flewellen), and Ned and the war. A pleasant surprise from the 1950s is How to Make a Monster, directed by Herbert L. Strock. It is one of a number of American International Pictures films newly released by RCA/Columbia.
