Young Indy on DVD: A Tour of Volume 3; Disc 4
March 18, 2008

The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones Volume Three arrives on DVD on April 29th in a ten-disc boxed set (see the original announcement here). Here's a look at what's on the fourth disc.

Winds of Change (1:36:54)

The war to end all wars is over. After four years of hideous slaughter, Germany and her satellites have collapsed. This is Percy McCallum from the British Radio Corporation broadcasting live from the great palace of Versailles. There is jubilation across Europe as the deadly guns of battle fall silent. Defeated German troops struggle home across the shattered countryside to find their once all-powerful Kaiser has abdicated, and fled his homeland. Every one of the enemy monarchs has fallen before the powers of the great democracies...

Indiana Jones is working as a translator at the Paris Peace Conference, the historic gathering of nations presided over by George Clemenceau, Premiere of France, Lloyd George, Prime Minister of Britain, and Woodrow Wilson, President of the U.S. Wilson's idealistic vision of "14 points" toward a future without war, and a world guided through conflicts by a League of Nation falters against the realities of diplomacy, as concessions after concessions are made. Indy meets up again with his friend T.E. Lawrence, and while the two catch up after months on military assignment, the pragmatic insights offered by Arnold Toynbee and Gertrude Bell cause their idealism to start to waver. Toynbee prophetically warns that the ferocity of the French and the debilitating demands placed on the Germans will only be cause for a future world war.

Disheartened to see the mistakes of the old world repeated in Europe, Indy returns to the U.S. On the steamer trip across the Atlantic, he meets and courts a beautiful young New York aristocratic named Amy. Back in Princeton, Indy takes a summer job helping Professor Robert Goddard, a scientific genius determined to cast aside preconceived notions of altitude calculations and rocketry to envision a future where mankind can break gravity's bonds and leave the Earth.

Not everyone can be so forward thinking, though. Indy again sees the ugliness of racism as he takes his good friend, Paul Robeson, into New York to meet Amy and runs afoul of small-minded thugs who have trouble seeing whites and colored people socializing together. Compounding Indy's frustrations is the frosty reception his father gives him when, after four long years of war, they are finally reunited. The elder Jones still treats Indy as a child and refuses to listen to his worldly insights gained from his experiences abroad, which leads to a volcanic confrontation between father and son which sets them on separate paths, not to cross again for almost twenty years.

Winds of Change stars Sean Patrick Flanery as Indy and Lloyd Owen as Henry. Guest-stars include Cyril Cusack (Harold and Maude; My Left Foot) as Clemenceau, Anna Massey (Frenzy, Peeping Tom) as Gertrude Bell, Michael Maloney (Henry V, Hamlet) as Arnold Toynbee, Douglas Henshall (Lawless Heart) as T.E.
