Music Videos

A bonanza of music video hits this month, courtesy of CEL Video.

CEL have 13 releases this month and intend to release six music videos every month from now on. This month’s package is as follows: live tapes from the Jam, Big Country, Roxy Music (The High Road), Tina Turner, Dire Straits, Black Sabbath and Rainbow; Dragon The Video Singles, ABC Man Trap, Elton John The Video Singles: and Best Of the Party Tapes Vols 1 & 2 (each containing 23 assorted videos).

In the movie line, Palace Video offers Robert Altman’s Streamers, Charles Chaplin’s Limelight (made in 1952, this film had to be withdrawn as Chaplin copped the brunt of the anticommie paranoia of the time), the charming sci-fi pic Android (starring Klaus Kinski!), a couple of gentle comedies in Once In Paris (with Wayne Rogers) and Misunderstood (with Gene Hackman getting all domestic), as well as Splatter University (which pretty much explains itself). CBS/Fox have Robert Redford in The Natural, Richard Chamberlain and Rod Steiger as Cook and Peary in the story of the race for the North Pole and Windwalker, the story of an old Cheyenne chief (played by Trevor Howard) looking back on his life.
