Double Feature contains "Bachelor Party" and "The Girl Next Door." "Bachelor Party" - This outrageously funny look at one man's final moments of bachelorhood stars Tom Hanks as Rick, reluctant recipient of a bachelor bash given by a group of friends who view partying as their full-time religion. Rick's worried fiancee, Debbie (Tawny Kitaen,) dresses up in disguise and crashes the party to spy on her future husband.

Sweet Days of Discipline by Fleur Jaeggy, ISBN 0811212351
Set in postwar Switzerland, Fleur Jaeggy's eerily beautiful novel begins simply and innocently enough: "At fourteen I was a boarder in a school in the Appenzell". But there is nothing truly simple or innocent here. With the off-handed knowingness of a remorseless young Eve, the narrator describes life as a captive of the school and her designs to win the affections of the apparently perfect new girl, Frederique. As she broods over her schemes as well as on the nature of control and madness, the novel gathers a suspended, unsettling energy. Now translated into six languages, I beati anni del castigo in its Italian original won the 1990 Premio Bagutta and the 1990 Premio Speciale Rapallo. In Tim Parks' consummate translation (with its "spare, haunting quality of a prose poem"), Sweet Days of Discipline was selected as one of the London Times Literary Supplement's Notable Books of 1992: "In a period when novels are generally over-blown and scarcely portable, it is good to be able to recommend...

The Revolution of Little Girls by Blanche McCrary Boyd, ISBN 0679738126
No matter how hard she tries, Ellen Burns will never be Scarlett O'Hara. As a little girl in South Carolina, she prefers playing Tarzan to playing Jane. As a teenage beauty queen she spikes her Cokes with spirits of ammonia and baffles her elders with her Freedom Riding sympathies. As a young woman in the 1960s and '70s, she hypnotizes her way to Harvard, finds herself as a lesbian, then very nearly loses herself to booze and shamans. And though the wry, rebellious, and vision-haunted heroine of this exhilarating novel may sometimes seem to be living a magnolia-scented Portrait of the Artist as a Young Woman, Blanche McCrary Boyd's The Revolution Of Little Girls is a completely original arid captivating work.

Doin' Time (Full Frame)
Door-to-door salesman Duke Jarrett (Jeff Altman) has just knocked on the wrong door. He's framed by the governor's seductress wife and sentenced to jail. But not to worry. He'll have lots of time off for riotous behavior as he's "Doin' Time" with the crazy convict of John Dillinger Penitentiary. In the uproarious tradition of "National Lampoon's Animal House" and "Police Academy," "Doin' Time" is a lockup full of laughter. The more-than-merrier ensemble includes Richard Mulligan ("Soap", "Empty Nest") as a nutcase warden named Mongo, John Vernon (the sinister Dean Wormer of "Animal House"), Jimmy Walker ("Good Times"), Colleen Camp ("Valley Girl"), veteran movie tough guy Mike Mazurki and the champ himself: Muhammad Ali, giving a rousing ringside pep talk at the inevitable prison boxing match! When "Animal House" meets the big house, you'll discover that humor is the greatest escape of all. Set aside time for "Doin' Time.
