"If a Man Answers" has them getting married, but Dee's French mother offers outrageous advice, urging her daughter to train her husband like a dog.
In "That Funny Feeling," Dee is Darin's maid, but they've never met. So she pretends his apartment is hers to impress him! Donald O'Connor co-stars.
Extras: Widescreen, trailer, subtitle options (English, Spanish, French), chapters.
"The Sting II" (Universal, 1983, PG, $14.98). The cast is OK, and the predictable twists aren't too bad, but this sequel about a boxing scam certainly pales in comparison to the original. Jackie Gleason has Paul Newman's part, Mac Davis plays Robert Redford's role, and the villain played by Robert Shaw is now Oliver Reed. Best are Teri Garr as a duplicitous grifter and Karl Malden as a mobster who's a lout.
Extras: Widescreen, subtitle options (English, Spanish, French), chapters.
Extras: Separate widescreen and full-frame editions, audio commentary (director Martha Coolidge), making-of featurettes, deleted/extended scenes, outtakes, trailer, language options (English, French), subtitle options (English, Spanish), chapters.
