So named because of the concert location in Paris, French captures the '90s Buzzcocks lineup ripping through an extensive, energetic set of old classics and newer material both. It's not quite a perfect recording through and through -- Shelley's vocals skip up and down a bit in the mix, and one can't shake the feeling that the guitars aren't coming through as forcefully as they should. Still, French beats most bootlegs and will definitely be of interest to the hardcore fan. As a general document, however, it's a touch more hit and miss. One thing it definitely demonstrates is that while Barker is a competent enough drummer, when it comes to re-creating Maher's peerless work on the older material, he just can't quite take it to that higher level. Both Diggle and Shelley rock along just fine throughout, trading guitar lines and keeping the songs moving with pretty much the same level of intensity as in the past. Shelley's singing has definitely settled down a bit over time, a touch less strained and frenetic in comparison to the late-'70s days, but still has a general vigor. Diggle provides harmonies throughout just as in the old days and sings his own songs well. One thing French definitely shows is that newer songs like Energy and Innocent can indeed slot in comfortably beside many of the classic numbers, at least in terms of getting a crowd juiced and excited. Still, all it takes is a listen to the solid performances of songs like I Believe to realize the higher standard the newer numbers have yet to match. As a programming note, French does include a sharp take on then-recent single Libertine Angel, which has yet to surface on an album, while the American version includes three more songs than the U.K. issue: Orgasm Addict, Oh Shit, and Fast Cars. ~ Ned Raggett, Rovi

The French interior evokes a way of life to aspire to, with its good food,unhurried pace and, above all, its past for which many people feel nostalgia.Developed over hundreds of years, the French look reflects all tastes, from the cultivated grandeur of the chateau to the simplicity of rural living, and can be adapted to every home, including the Mediterranean style villa and elegant town house. In this book, the look is divided into 'Chateau', 'Country', 'Provencial' and 'Parisian style', and applied to living room, kitchen and dining room, bedroom and bathroom, and to living space in the garden. As well as describing each overall look, focusing on colours and fabrics, Annie Sloan emphasizes the details and accents required by each one, and, aided by 25 clearly explained step-by-step projects, shows how to achieve it. Among other things, she explains how to paint and distress furniture, and describes how to cover an armoire door with embroidered voile. Whatever interior you desire, this book will guide your choices from the grand statement of the painted armoire to the finishing touch of a little posy of lavender.

The British situation comedy FRESH FIELDS originally aired on England's ITV network from 1984 through 1986. Written by John T. Chapman and produced for Thames Television, it took place in a domestic setting, following the adventures of a suburbanite couple, Hester Fields (Julia McKenzie) and William Fields (Anton Rodgers). Situations revolved around homemaker Hester's persistent and often comedic attempts to improve her life or attempt new hobbies, while the exasperated William went off to the proverbial salt mines. Several years later, a sequel appeared. FRENCH FIELDS (1989-1991) found the listless couple relocating to France in search of a new life, and followed their adventures in that country. FRENCH FIELDS lasted three series of 6 episodes each, all of which appear in this box set, full and complete as they originally aired. Installments include A MOVING EXPERIENCE, WILLIAM THE CONQUERED, INSIDE STORY, FRENCH WITH TEARS and MAKE FOR THE HILLS.

Director Douglas Sirk, best known for his melodramatic masterpieces of the ‘50s, directs this charming musical-comedy which gives a peek into the Hollywood studio system of the 1940s. After driving his leading lady to an emotional breakdown, director John Gayle (Don Ameche, Heaven Can Wait, Midnight) is fired by producer Doug Hyde (Willard Parker, A Slight Case of Murder, Kiss Me Kate). When he meets carnival performer Mary O’Leary (Dorothy Lamour, Road to Morocco), John plots to get his job back by molding her into a sophisticated actress whom he can pass off as a fascinating French beauty. Mary’s a quick study, and she provides just the international flair Doug needs for the film. When Mary lands the part, John is rehired, too, but, in Pygmalion-like fashion, Mary has fallen for her tutor, who is consumed only with his own ambition. The love complication deepens into a triangle when Doug falls for Mary. Can she keep up the ruse and succeed as a star? Also features Janis Carter (Night Editor, Framed).Newly remastered. 1949/b&w/81 min/NR/fullscreen.

Why does everything sound better if it's said in French? That fascination is at the heart of The Story of French, the first history of one of the most beautiful languages in the world that was, at one time, the pre-eminent language of literature, science and diplomacy.  Nadeau and Barlow chart the history of a language spoken as a native tongue by 130 million people around the globe. The first document written in the French was signed by the sons of Charlemagne in 832. After this, Latin was purged from the courts of France by Francois 1st, giving root to French speakers' 21st century obsession with language protection. The obsession progressed as Cardinal Richelieu established the French Academy, a group entrusted with the responsibility of keeping the language pure and eloquent. As French circled the globe, the international cast of characters included Montaigne, Catherine the Great, Frederic II of Prussia, the guides of the Lewis and Clark expedition, Jules Verne, and others. Let Nadeau and Barlow guide you through the story of a language used to write some of the world's great masterpieces of literature, construct some of the most important documents of diplomacy, bedevil millions with its vagaries of pronunciation and beguile everyone with its beauty.
