Description
George Feltenstein joins host Tim Millard to announce the September Blu-ray releases from Warner Archive. The lineup includes five films from various eras, all receiving meticulous 4K restorations that dramatically improve their visual and audio quality.
• Beast of the City (1932): Jean Harlow's breakout film as a leading lady, an MGM attempt at Warner-style gangster pictures, with a new master from 4K scans of preservation elements
• The Beggar's Opera (1953): Technicolor British film starring Laurence Olivier in a singing role, based on a 1728 operetta that later inspired Brecht's "Threepenny Opera"
• Black Samson (1974): Fan-favorite blaxploitation film with a musical score by Alan Toussaint, scanned from original camera negative
• I Died a Thousand Times (1955): CinemaScope remake of "High Sierra" starring Jack Palance and Shelley Winters
• Touché Turtle and Dum-Dum: Complete series of 52 Hanna-Barbera cartoons, never before released in its entirety
Also announced are three multi-film Blu-ray collections coming September 2nd: a six-film Errol Flynn collection, a four-film Greta Garbo collection, and a four-film 1950s sci-fi collection, all offering excellent value at approximately $10 per film.
