Warner Archive April Announcement: 7 Classic Films, a 4K Documentary, PLUS An Update on Last Summer
Description
We break down Warner Archive’s packed April slate and explain what makes each Blu-ray worth owning, from new 4K scans and rescued film elements to the shorts, cartoons, and radio extras that turn discs into time capsules. We also tease a hard-won restoration update on Last Summer and why preservation work often takes years longer than anyone wants.
• 20,000 Years In Sing Sing as a pre-Code prison drama with a new master and deep extras
• Crack Up as a tight RKO noir upgraded from a rough DVD era transfer
• King Richard And The Crusaders as a colorful CinemaScope remaster with Max Steiner score and bonus cartoons
• Monogram Matinee Volume Two as a preservation win for Louisiana and Song Of The Range with high-quality 4K scans
• Captain’s Courageous as an MGM classic rebuilt from preservation elements with standout Spencer Tracy performance
• Private Benjamin finally getting a proper widescreen HD presentation plus TV series episodes
• George Stevens: A Filmmaker’s Journey arriving as a 4K HDR Dolby Vision combo pack
• Arrowsmith restored by the Library of Congress and The Film Foundation plus a Lux Radio Theater bonus
• Last Summer restoration hurdles including missing reels, version mismatches, and plans for release
