Henry V movie trailer - starring Ian Holm, Derek Jacobi, Judi Dench, Kenneth Branagh, Emma Thompson, Brian Blessed. Directed by Kenneth Branagh. Genre: Drama Rating: PG-13

Darkly humorous account of a man wrongly accused of a series of brutal necktie murders. Hitchcock's most graphically violent film!

Martin Scorsese, one of the great directors of our time, directs Oscar(r)-winner Daniel Day-Lewis (1989 Best Actor, My Left Foot), Michelle Pfeiffer and Winona Ryder in a brilliant adaptation of Edith Wharton's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. A ravishing romance about three wealthy New Yorkers caught in a tragic love triangle, the ironically-titled story chronicles the grandeur and hypocrisy of high society in the 1870s. At the center of the film is Newland Archer (Day-Lewis), an upstanding attorney who secretly longs for a more passionate life. Engaged to the lovely but ordinary socialite May Welland (Ryder), Newland resigns himself to a life of quiet complacency. But when May's unconventional cousin returns to New York amid social and sexual scandal, Newland risks everything for a chance at true love. THE AGE OF INNOCENCE is a spellbinding portrait of hidden romance and regret.

Michael Redgrave plays the estranged, alcoholic father of a young man about to be executed for a murder he didn’t commit, and he is just unsteady enough in his thinking to make every twist of this drama a source of ever-tightening suspense.
