Levy naarmuton ja kannet siistissä kunnossa.

Ei noutoa.

Maksu tulee suorittaa viiden päivän sisällä kohteen sulkeutumisesta.

En neuvottele tuotteen hinnasta tai postikuluista. Kaksi normaalikokoista Blu-ray:ta tai DVD:tä mahtuu nipinnapin samaan helposti-kuoreen ilman kuplamuovia, jolloin postikulut 4,45 euroa. SLIPCASEN kanssa ei mahdu toista normaalikokoista koteloa samassa kuoressa. 7,2 eurolla tulee pakettiautomaattiin toimitettuna niin monta DVD, Blu-ray tai cd-levyä kun haluaa.

Postitan huudot yleensä muutaman arkipäivän sisällä. Ilmoitan postituksesta vielä erikseen.

Standard Edition Blu-ray

The penultimate collaboration of Josef von Sternberg and Marlene Dietrich was also their most ambitious and, maybe, their very best. Dietrich plays Catherine, a young woman who is married into a Russian royal family. Discovering her husband (Sam Jaffe, The Asphalt Jungle) is cruel and deranged, she finds love in the arms of a colonel in the army (John Lodge, Bulldog Drummond at Bay), transforming her from wide-eyed virgin to formidable Catherine the Great.

Declaring that he would rather make a ‘magnificent flop’ than a ‘mediocre film’, von Sternberg may not have found an immediate audience for his staggering mix of grotesquery and sensuous beauty, but The Scarlet Empress has since been recognised as one of his true masterpieces.
