The Rules of the Game DVD

This 1918 tragicomedy is set among the Italian upper class. The main characters are an impulsive young woman, the lover she exasperates and her cynical husband. The husband's apathetic attitude is that life is a game played by arbitrary rules, and his role is that of an unemotional observer. His philosophy is severely put to the test when his wife draws him into a duel with a nobelman who drunkenly accosted her. Stars Joan Van Ark (Dallas)and Emmy®-nominee David Dukes (The Josephine Baker Story). Also featuring a brief appearance by Glenn Close in an early role.
