James Stewart Signature Collection in August

Warner Home Video have announced the Region 1 DVD release of James Stewart: The Signature Collection for 15th August 2006. Honouring one of America’s most beloved actors and classic Hollywood leading men this signature collection includes six of Stewart’s films -- all new to DVD -- being released in the five-disc collection: The FBI Story, The Naked Spur, The Spirit of St. Louis, The Stratton Story and a double feature DVD that features two irresistible pairings of Stewart and his dear friend Henry Fonda: The Cheyenne Social Club/Firecreek, both available for the first time on video in widescreen presentations. This superb collection presents Stewart in a variety of different roles that underscore his incomparable versatility as an actor and features Stewart in powerful performances opposite a star-studded array of screen favourites including Robert Ryan, Janet Leigh, Vera Miles, June Allyson and Agnes Moorehead. The DVDs also include expert commentaries, theatrical trailers for each film, and a bevy of vintage comedy shorts, classic cartoons that have become the distinctive hallmark of Warner Home Video classic DVD presentations. This impressive assemblage of Stewart at his best will sell as a collection for $49.92 SRP, with all titles available individually for $19.97 SRP.

The FBI Story (1959)
Stewart portrays one of J. Edgar Hoover’s finest and Vera Miles co-stars as his steadfast wife in this salute to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The colorful career of Agent Chip Hardesty (Stewart) covers 1924 to the late ’50s. Along the way he tangles with everything from the Ku Klux Klan to a bomber who commits mass murder for insurance money. His fiercest exploits come in the ’30s when he stares down a gun barrel at Baby Face Nelson, Pretty Boy Floyd, Machine Gun Kelly, Ma Barker and John Dillinger. From two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Don Whitehead’s bestseller and directed by veteran Hollywood hit maker Mervyn LeRoy.

Features include:

Theatrical trailer

Languages: English & Français

Subtitles: English, Français & Español (feature film only)
The Naked Spur (1953)
“Plain arithmetic: Money splits better two ways instead of three,” smooth-talking outlaw Ben Vandergroat reasons to his captors, three bounty hunters thrown together by chance. They’re taking Ben to justice in Abilene, but he has other ideas. If he can set the men against each other – play on their greed, their fears, their vanities – he may be able to make his break to freedom.

In the third of his five landmark Anthony Mann-directed westerns, James Stewart stars as the relentless leader of bounty hunters caught in the snare of the hunted (Robert Ryan). Tough, tense, and towering as tall as its breathtaking Colorado Rockies setting, The Naked Spur
is simply “one of the best Westerns ever made” (Leonard Maltin’s Movie Guide).

Features include:

Vintage short Things We Can Do Without

Classic cartoon Little Johnny Jet

Theatrical trailer

Languages: English & Français

Subtitles: English, Français & Español (feature film only)
The Spirit of St. Louis (1957)
On May 21, 1927, the world changed. “Lucky Lindy” landed outside Paris. And people who previously talked about the limitations of air travel suddenly dreamed of its limitless possibilities.

The Spirit of St. Louis is six-time Academy Award winner Billy Wilder’s recreation of the struggles and success of Charles A. Lindbergh, the pioneering flyboy who, like test pilots and astronauts to follow later, had the “right stuff” of aviation heroism. Lindbergh fan James Stewart, himself a pilot, sought the role but was initially turned down. But his persistence paid off, as Stewart added Lindy to his gallery of indelible portrayals of American heroes. He and Wilder together manned the cockpit of a stirring epic entertainment.

Features include:

New digital transfer from restored picture and audio elements

Soundtrack remastered in Dolby Digital 5.1

The Spirit of St. Louis Premiere

Vintage Joe McDoakes comedy short So Your Wife Wants to Work

Classic cartoon Tabasco Road

Theatrical trailer

Languages: English & Français

Subtitles: English, Français & Español (feature film only)
The Stratton Story (1949)
Chicago White Sox pitcher Monty Stratton is an affable long drink of water with an easy, whip like delivery and a pitch so unhittable the young phenom racks up consecutive 15-win seasons. But Stratton’s greatest victory doesn’t come on the green diamonds of our national pastime.

Stewart portrays Stratton, who loses a leg in an accident just as his career is on the rise…and whose triumph over despair and disability leads him to pitch again. Stewart signed on for the role when he realized the film would be an inspiration to injured World War II GIs. The film still inspires. Awarded an Oscar® for Best Motion Picture Story, directed by Sam Wood (The Pride of the Yankees) and supported by a top cast that includes June Allyson, Agnes Moorehead, Frank Morgan and real-life ballplayers, The Stratton Story is sports biography at its best. The pairing of Allyson and Stewart was so successful, that they appeared together again in 1954’s
The Glenn Miller Story and Strategic Air Command (1955).

Features include:

Vintage Short Pest Control

Classic Cartoon Batty Baseball

Audio-Only Bonus: Radio Show with Stewart and Allyson

Theatrical trailer

Languages: English & Français

Subtitles: English, Français & Español (Feature Film Only)
The Cheyenne Social Club (1970)/Firecreek (1968)
They can be tough as leather. Or as down-home as any pair of good ol’ boys. Either way, there’s a sense of warm respect between Henry Fonda and Stewart, the two stars whose off-camera friendship goes back to their days as struggling actors and roommates. The Cheyenne Social Club
[side A] casts them as saddle-weary Texans who, surprised to find they’ve inherited a Wyoming bordello, feel honor-bound to defend it against a gun-wielding gang. Gene Kelly produced and directed this mix of fun and Western action. Next comes a firestorm of character-driven excitement in Firecreek [side B]. Fonda plays an outlaw preying on small towns, and Stewart is the jittery, $2-a-month part-time lawman who must find the courage to stop him.

Features include:

First-Time Widescreen home video debut [16x9 2.4:1] for both movies

Vintage The Cheyenne Social Club featurette The Good Time Girls

Theatrical trailers

Subtitles: English, Français & Español (feature films only)

 

 

Ronald Reagan Signature Collection in August

Warner Home Video have announced the Region 1 DVD release of Ronald Reagan: The Signature Collection for 15th August 2006. This set features five outstanding film performances from the prolific actor and longtime Warner Bros. contract player, who served two terms as Governor of California and then became one of the most popular American presidents of the 20th century. Included in the all new-to-DVD collection are Kings Row,/i>, a Best Picture Award nominee and probably Mr. Reagan’s best performance; Knute Rockne All- American, the actor’s best remembered role (“Win one for the Gipper!”); the wartime drama The Hasty Heart, the topical Storm Warning and lastly, The Winning Team, with Reagan playing Hall-of-Fame baseball pitcher Grover Cleveland Alexander.

The collection will sell for $49.92 SRP. All titles are exclusive to the collection except Kings Row
and Knute Rockne All- American which will be available individually for $19.97 SRP each.

Kings Row (1942)
It’s a quaint turn-of-the-century small town with shady streets, swimming holes and the clip-clop of horse and buggy. But that peaceful exterior conceals human lives twisted by cruelty, murder and madness. Kings Row
is one of Warner Bros.’ most distinguished productions, highlighted by an outstanding cast, haunting James Wong Howe cinematography and a somber, emotion-laden Erich Wolfgang Korngold score. Oomph Girl Ann Sheridan, Robert Cummings, Betty Field, Claude Rains and Charles Coburn give indelible performances – and Ronald Reagan’s portrayal of Drake, a cheerful ne’er-do-well shattered by tragedy, has been hailed as a career high. Nominated for 3 Academy Awards including Best Picture, Kings Row is a powerful American saga of dreams, despair and triumph.

Features include:

Oscar® -nominated short United States Marine Band

Classic cartoon Fox Pop

Theatrical trailer

Subtitles: English, Français & Español (feature film only)
Knute Rockne All-American (1940)
“I’ve decided to take up coaching as my life work,” Knute Rockne says. Coach he does, revolutionizing football with his strategies, winning close to 90 percent of his games, and helping establish the University of Notre Dame’s “Fighting Irish” as a gridiron powerhouse. But victories alone do not mean success to Rockne. He wants to shape his players into responsible and honorable men.

This famed sports biopic combines a passion for the game (and footage of actual Notre Dame contests) with two superb performances: Pat O’Brien in the title role and Ronald Reagan as George Gipp, the gifted but doomed halfback whose deathbed plea to “win one for the Gipper” remains one of cinema’s most memorable quotes. And for the rest of his life, Reagan would often be called the Gipper.

Features include:

Oscar-winning Technicolor historical short Teddy, the Rough Rider

Classic cartoon Porky’s Baseball Broadcast

Audio-Only bonus: 1940 Lux Radio Theater Broadcast with Pat O’Brien and Ronald Reagan

Theatrical trailer

Subtitles: English, Français & Español (feature film only)
The Hasty Heart (1949)
Monsoons drench them. The sun scorches them. Still, the Allies fight doggedly through Burma in 1945. For easygoing Yank (Ronald Reagan) and hard-headed Lachie (Richard Todd), the road to victory ends at a jungle hospital. With the help of a devoted nurse (Patricia Neal), they face a new battle called recovery.

The Hasty Heart playwright John Patrick drew from his own wartime service in a British ambulance unit. Vincent Sherman (The Hard Way, Mr. Skeffington) directs this sensitive adaptation sparked by the performance that ranks with Kings Row as among Reagan’s best. The future President wasn’t the only one to draw accolades. Todd won a 1949 Best Actor Oscar nomination and a Most Promising Newcomer Golden Globe Award as the valorous, wounded Scotsman who doesn’t know that his new fight is his last.

Features include:

Commentary by Director Vincent Sherman and John Meroney

Vintage Joe McDoakes comedy short So You Want to Be in Pictures

Classic cartoon The Hasty Hare

Theatrical trailer

Subtitles: English, Français & Español (feature film only)
Storm Warning (1951)
A mob in hooded white robes. A man running for his life. Gunfire. In the South to visit her sister Lucy, Marsha Mitchell witnesses a Ku Klux Klan murder. Once safely with Lucy, Marsha relays the terror she has seen…then recognizes her sister’s brutish new husband as one of the killers. She could lie, protect her sister and leave town. Or she could be the one person brave enough to bring the Klan to justice.

Ginger Rogers and Doris Day as the sisters, Steve Cochran as the husband and Ronald Reagan as a crusading D.A. give some of their finest performances in this explosive indictment of a hate that poisoned America from within. Part thriller, part exposé, part stirring human drama, Storm Warning is “feverish…engrossing” (Leonard Maltin’s Movie Guide) – and moviemaking at its most powerful.

Features include:

Theatrical Trailer

Subtitles: English, Français & Español (feature film only)
The Winning Team (1952)
He was Hollywood’s ideal of the boy next door. She was America’s Sweetheart. Ronald Reagan and Doris Day headline this film about our national pastime. In The Winning Team
Reagan is Grover Cleveland Alexander, the Hall of Fame pitcher whose baseball victories paralleled triumphs in his personal life. Suffering from double vision and fainting spells, Alexander sees his career bottom out. But, helped by his wife (Day), he makes a successful return that reaches its peak in the 1926 Yankees/Cardinals World Series. Real-life major leaguers Bob Lemon, Peanuts Lowrey, Hank Sauer, Gene Mauch and more appear in this story of the legendary pitcher.

Features include:

Theatrical Trailer

A Warner Bros. Icon - for His Time and for All Time

 

 

 

HUMPHREY BOGART: THE SIGNATURE COLLECTION VOL. 2 DEBUTS SEPTEMBER 12

 

 

 

DVD Debuts of The Maltese Falcon 3-Disc Special Edition and

 

Bogie Classics Across The Pacific, Action In the North Atlantic,

 

All Through The Night and Passage To Marseille

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Burbank, Calif., June 12, 2006 – On September 12, Warner Home Video

honors one of the most popular movie actors of all time with the DVD

release of Humphrey Bogart: The Signature Collection Volume 2.

Highlighting this collection is a deluxe new 3-Disc Special Edition of

The Maltese Falcon, featuring a newly-remastered edition of the 1941

John Huston masterpiece starring Bogart as Dashiell Hammett’s

definitive Sam Spade. This new deluxe set is loaded with hours of

bonuses including the 1931 version of The Maltese Falcon and the 1936 film,

Satan Met a Lady, commentary by Bogart biographer Eric Lax, a recently

recovered additional scene as well as vintage Warner “Night at the

Movies” features.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also contained in the collection are four more Bogart classics making

their DVD debuts -- Across the Pacific, Action in the North Atlantic,

All Through the Night and Passage to Marseille. Each film has been

restored from the original camera negatives

and has been digitally remastered, with each title enhanced with

entertaining features. The new five film, seven-disc gift set will sell

for $59.92 SRP; all titles are exclusive to the collection, except The

Maltese Falcon 3-Disc Special Edition, which will also sell separately

for $29.92 SRP.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Named AFI’s #1 male movie star of all time, Humphrey Bogart has been a

cult figure throughout the world since the 1940s. Mostly, he played

characters who were smart, playful, courageous, tough, and reckless --

who lived in a corrupt world yet were anchored by an inner moral code.

He also excelled portraying men with flaws and weaknesses that

ultimately led to their downfall. One of the most prolific actors in

motion picture history, he appeared in 85 films which have demonstrated their enduring popularity by selling to date more than five million copies

on video and DVD. Bogart won a Best Actor Academy Award® for his

performance in The African Queen and earned an Oscar® nomination for

Casablanca and The Caine Mutiny.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Maltese Falcon Three-Disc Special Edition (1941)

 

 

 

This nominee for three Academy Awards – Best Picture, Supporting Actor

(Greenstreet) and Screenplay (Huston) – solidified Bogart’s stardom and

launched John Huston’s illustrious directorial career. An all-star cast

(including Sydney Greenstreet, Mary Astor, Peter Lorre and Elisha Cook

Jr.) joins Bogart in this classic film noir story about hard-boiled

detective Sam Spade (Bogart) and the gallery of lowlifes he’s after to

find his partner’s killer as well as the jewel-encrusted life size

statue of a falcon. Filled with twists and turns, the crackling mystery

masterwork was based on Dashiell Hammett’s novel. The Maltese Falcon

was added to the National Film Registry in 1989 and is #23 on the

American Film Institute’s (AFI) List of 100 Greatest Movies.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This all-new 3-Disc Special Edition is full of extras, including two

features which preceded Bogie’s landmark Falcon -- the 1931 pre-code

version of The Maltese Falcon and the 1936 film, Satan Met a Lady,

starring Bette Davis.

Across the Pacific (1942)

 

 

 

The winning team from The Maltese Falcon is reunited for Across the

Pacific. This crisply written wartime thriller reunites three Falcon

leads -- Bogart, Mary Astor and Sydney Greenstreet. The Maltese

Falcon’s John Huston directs this reunion, and once again, the

combination of stars and director comes up a winner. Like The Maltese

Falcon, the film has “the same irresistible mixture of darkness,

double-cross and quirky humor,” according to Tom Milne, Time Out Film

Guide. Here Bogart plays counterspy Rick Leland who trades romantic

barbs with Alberta (Mary Astor), matches wits with sly Lorenz (Sydney

Greenstreet) and swaps bullets with saboteurs of the Panama Canal.

Action in the North Atlantic (1943)

 

 

 

This World War II salute to the Merchant Marines is an action-filled

voyage of a besieged freighter and shows how the role of these men

supplying the war effort was the lifeblood of democracy’s arsenal.

Humphrey Bogart, a World War I seaman and an avid

recreational sailor, stars as First Officer Joe Rossi who, along with

his captain (Raymond Massey), matches tactics with U-boats and the

Luftwaffe. The tactics were so on target that this became a Merchant

Marine training film.

All Through the Night (1942)

 

 

 

In this comedy thriller, Bogart had fun in the change-of-pace role of

Gloves Donahue, a NY gambler and petty crook. Gloves is definitely more

interested in his racing sheet and favorite cheesecake than he is in

current events, until the baker gets bumped off, and that changes

everything. The fun is winningly contagious in a spoof that pits him

against Nazi spies. The wonderful supporting cast of shady, but good

guys includes William Demarest, Jackie Gleason and Phil Silvers, all of

whom seem to have stepped from Damon Runyon’s Guys and Dolls world.

Passage to Marseille (1944)

 

 

 

Humphrey Bogart reunites with director Michael Curtiz and other key

Casablanca personnel (including co-stars Claude Rains, Peter Lorre and

Sydney Greenstreet). Bogart plays Jean Matrac, a World War II French

patriot who escapes Devil’s Island, survives a dangerous freighter

voyage and becomes a gunner in the Free French Air Corps.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The film sailed into theaters on stormy seas. Controversy surrounded

the scene in which Matrac machine-guns the helpless survivors of a

downed plane that attacked the freighter. That a soldier of freedom

would act ignobly brought protests from religious and censorship

groups.

Additional biographical information on Bogart:

 

 

 

Humphrey DeForest Bogart was born on December 25, 1899, the son of a

Manhattan surgeon and a magazine illustrator. He had a privileged

upbringing but was expelled from an elite East coast private school,

after which he joined the U.S. Naval Reserve. In the early ‘20s, he

managed a stage company owned by a family friend and began performing

regularly. In 1930 he got a contract with Fox and made his feature film

debut in a short called Broadway’s Like That, co-starring Ruth Etting

and Joan Blondell.

 

 

 

After five more years of stage and minor film roles, Bogart finally got

his big break when he reprised his Broadway role as Duke Mantee in The

Petrified Forest. He signed a contract with Warner Bros. and was on his

way to mega-stardom with roles in such classics as High Sierra,

Casablanca, The Big Sleep, Key Largo, The African Queen and, of course,

The Maltese Falcon and the other films in this collection.

 

 

 

Bogie also had a storied personal life, having been married four times,

the last to actress Lauren Bacall, with whom he appeared in four films.

The first was To Have and Have Not, in 1944, with the 19 year old

Bacall making her screen debut at age 19. The role marked the beginning

of her great acting career as well as one of Hollywood’s legendary love

stories. Bogie and Bacall were married in 1945 and their marriage

thrived, despite a 25-year age difference, until Bogart died in 1957

from throat cancer. In her autobiography, By Myself, Bacall notes, “No

one has ever written a romance better than we lived it.”
