The
Adventures of Young Indiana Jones, Volume Three - The Years of Change
The third and final installment of the Young Indiana Jones television
series is now out on DVD, and what a massive treat it is, as much for
the extras as for the telefilms themselves.
In each of these full length movies, Indy faces two separate adventures,
bumping into many historical figures along the way, all handled with the
proper mix of humor and action. The special effects are quite good, especially
for the time these shows were produced (1992).
Many fans have complained about the price but this comprehensive DVD
collection is a hefty bargain when you factor in the documentaries that
cover the history behind the varied storylines.
One standout episode is the last of the bunch, Hollywood Follies,
which had Indy journeying to Hollywood to confront Eric Von Stroheim and
then go to work on a Harry Carey western with John Ford. The production
does an awe-inspiring job of recreating old Hollywood on a TV movie budget,
it's a genuinely exciting storyline to boot that intersperses footage
from classic silent films and goes a long way in explaining how Indiana
Jones became so proficient at horseback riding.
Special features on the Hollywood Follies disc includes sweeping,
full-length retrospective documentaries on Von Stroheim, John Ford, and
the Hollywood moguls. You'll hear from A. Scott Berg, Elvis Mitchell,
Martin Scorcese, and other tinseltown historians along with all kinds
of wonderful behind the scenes footage.
To compliment the Indy's adventure with Chicago mobsters disc 7 offers
rousing documentaries on Prohibition, Al 'Scarface' Capone, screenwriter
Ben Hecht, Harlem's World War I heroes, and Elliot Ness. You get the idea.
All of these documentaries are in-depth, encyclopedic and far reaching,
a world of history in and of themselves; it all makes for an entertainment
land mine.
If you're looking for something the family can watch together this is
it, sure to keep the interest of pre-teens and adults alike.

Ernest Hemingway over the affections of a beautiful Italian girl. After
being wounded in action, Indy is transferred to North Africa where he

possessions. Pursued by a dangerous one-eyed man, Indy follows the trail
of the diamond from London to Alexandria to the South Seas where he has
a run-in with a murderous band of Chinese pirates. The shipboard battle
that ensues is a spectacular display of swords, guns and flying fists.
Marooned by the pirates on a remote desert island, Indy is captured by

and cannibal stew, he is rescued by anthropologist Bronislaw Malinowski
and makes a life-altering decision.

In New York City, Indy covers a lot of ground as he stage-manages a Broadway
musical, parties with 5th Avenue high society, reads poetry with Greenwich
Village bohemians and trades barbs with the literary wits of the Algonquin
Roundtable. Composer George Gershwin accompanies Indy in his adventures
as he attempts to ensure that the show goes on despite temperamental stars,
malfunctioning props and the fact that he's dating three very different
women at the same time. The film includes wonderful production numbers
and a marvelous musical score.

While working for a Hollywood movie studio, Indy finds that he is no match

horns over the ever-increasing budget of Stroheim's film Foolish Wives.
Though battered by the film industry, Indy decides to give it one more
chance and goes on a location shoot with legendary director John Ford.
Ford and his cronies, including aging gunman Wyatt Earp, help him to see
the magic of movies and moviemaking, and when an actor is accidentally
killed, Indy pitches in to save the film.

The
Adventures of Young Indiana Jones, Volume Three - The Years of Change
Excitement and early 20th-century history combine
in the action-packed final volume of creator George Lucas' Emmy®
award-winning THE ADVENTURES OF YOUNG INDIANA JONES, coming to DVD
April 29.
In a compilation "like no other DVD collection
ever released" (Dallas Morning News), THE ADVENTURES OF YOUNG
INDIANA JONES: The Years of Change, provides an engrossing look
at history with one of the world's favorite action heroes as a guide
- just in time to prepare fans for the May 22 release of the long-awaited
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
Presented on 10 jam-packed discs, THE ADVENTURES
OF YOUNG INDIANA JONES: The Years of Change offers more than 25
hours of entertainment, including seven feature-length episodes
and more than 30 entirely new documentaries exploring the people,
places and events Indy encounters in his travels - from the creation
of the Middle East to the Broadway boom, the birth of jazz and even
the early days of Hollywood.
"This is a different side to Indiana Jones
and shows the academic roots behind his affinity for adventure,"
said Lucas. "The hero we know as 'Indiana' is first and foremost
Dr. Jones, a man whose love for history and thirst for knowledge
started when he was young, proving that learning about the world
can lead to incredible things."
In THE ADVENTURES OF YOUNG INDIANA JONES: The Years
of Change, Sean Patrick Flanery (Boondock Saints, "The Dead
Zone") stars as Indy, alongside such acclaimed actors as Anne
Heche ("Men In Trees"), Jane Krakowski ("30 Rock")
and Jeffrey Wright (Casino Royale).
THE ADVENTURES OF YOUNG INDIANA JONES: The Years
Of Change is released by Lucasfilm Ltd., CBS Home Entertainment
and Paramount Home Entertainment. The 10-disc set features a comprehensive
assortment of exhaustively researched special features that provide
insights into world history.
The acclaimed documentaries were produced over a four-year period
by former CBS News producer David Schneider. "It has been an
honor to help realize George's vision for the Young Indy DVDs as
an in-depth exploration of history with real-life facts that spark
viewers' curiosity and inspire them to learn even more," Schneider
said. "This set offers more of everything that Indiana Jones
fans love: more action, more excitement and more historical information
to truly bring the past to life."
The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones DVD collections
have received widespread praise from critics. "Vivid and imaginative"
(Baltimore Sun) with "grand content" (Los Angeles Times),
each of the three volumes features an unprecedented amount of special
features that includes interviews with scholars, historians and
luminaries from a wide range of disciplines.
A critically acclaimed combination of adventure,
romance and history, The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones was shot
in 35 countries and utilized the talents of the industry's most
distinguished actors, directors and writers, earning 12 Emmy Awards
and 27 nominations over the course of its run. In addition, The
Adventures of Young Indiana Jones was the first television series
to use digital production, pioneering processes that would pave
the way for Lucas' own Star Wars prequels.
The Young Indiana Jones films also feature the work
of some of the industry's biggest names in directing and writing.
Series directors include Bille August (Les Miserables), Mike Newell
(Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire), David Hare (Strapless, screenplays
for The Hours and Damage), Terry Jones (Monty Python and the Holy
Grail and The Life of Brian), Deepa Mehta (Water), Joe Johnston
(The Rocketeer, Jurassic Park III), Nicolas Roeg (The Man Who Fell
To Earth, Don't Look Now), and Michael Schultz (Car Wash, TV's "Everwood").
Writers include Rosemary Anne Sisson (Upstairs, Downstairs), Frank
Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption) and Jonathan Hensleigh (Die
Hard with a Vengeance).
THE ADVENTURES OF YOUNG INDIANA JONES complete three-volume
collection contains 22 feature-length movies and 94 documentaries,
interactive games developed by River Deep, an interactive timeline
produced by Terra Incognita Productions and an historical overview
by noted author and University of Texas history professor H.W. Brands.
