"A Fanatic Heart" is the extraordinary story of revolution, nation-birth, mythology and disillusion and how one poetic genius dreamed and sang an entire country into being from the ravages of poverty and famine and into the raw dawn of a modern state. With over 30 unique performances of W. B. Yeats' epic poetry by leading Irish and British cultural figures, Geldof argues why Yeats and his circle built the cultural scaffolding of a modern, pluralist Ireland but was pushed aside by the narrow-minded Catholic elite of the new Free State -- the "Banana Republic" that Geldof in turn rebelled against half a century later.

Grant, Bill Nighy, Anne Enright, Colin Farrell, Ardal O'Hanlon and many others. Formats: DVD/CD Combo.

The Jackie Gleason Show in Color
Everything about Jackie Gleason was big: his huge talent, his outsized personality, and his expansive waist line. Even bigger was "The Jackie Gleason Show," his successful TV Variety show, taped in color from beautiful Miami Beach from 1966 to 970. "The Jackie Gleason Show" had been broadcast live and later taped in New York City since 1952, but in 1964, Gleason wanted to be based where he could play golf all year round. Hank Meyer, a longtime South Florida publicist, knew just the spot and convinced Jackie 
1to bring his show to Miami Beach, the sun and fun capital of the world. However, back in the '60s, it was a novel undertaking to broadcast from Miami Beach, and more than a hundred families relocated to stay with the show. Plus, there was barely any production infrastructure in South Florida, which all had to be created by Jackie and his team. However, it all paid off and the revamped show was a huge success. Gleason was everyone's working-class hero, and his smash-hit show delivered an hour of non-stop entertainment every single week. Enthralled home audiences were treated to entertainment of the highest order -- singing, dancing, hilarious comedy and Jackie at his very best as Ralph Kramden and on stage with all his famous friends -- Milton Berle, Red Buttons, George Carlin, Nipsey Russell, Phil Silvers and more -- and all in brilliant color.
