The Blu-Ray was developed as a high-definition successor to the DVD and offers a significantly increased data rate and storage capacity compared to its predecessor. Blu-Rays can therefore store movies with significantly better resolution and offer enormously high picture quality on corresponding screens. Blu-Ray players are usually backward compatible with DVDs, so that they can also be played.

Joan Crawford (Berserk) and Barry Sullivan (Framed) lead the cast of the atmospheric melodrama Queen Bee.
Domineering socialite Eva (Crawford) and her alcoholic husband Avery (Sullivan) are trapped in a hostile and loveless marriage. When Eva’s cousin Jennifer (Lucy Marlow, A Star Is Born) comes to stay, she is sucked into a dangerous whirlwind of lies and vengeance...
Reuniting Crawford with Mildred Pierce screenwriter Ranald MacDougall, and featuring cinematography by the great Charles Lang (The Shepherd of the Hills), Queen Bee is a riveting slice of Southern Gothic.
