I'm a little late this time... maybe because there's just so little here. Well, except for fans of Jim Hutton. I know every release week can't be great, but where's my Woman in White Warner!
Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (1973, John Newland)
Okay, maybe I spoke too soon. This one's a TV movie, never released to video in the U.S. near as I can tell, which raises the question of what TV movie gems Warner might have in the vaults. A good sign.
The Boob (1926, William A. Wellman)
Wellman's good. Probably worth a look. I'm sure I have it somewhere recorded off TCM.
The Patsy (1928, King Vidor)
A silent I've never heard of, but, again, probably have recorded off TCM somewhere.
The Fox (1967, Mark Rydell)
I always used to wonder what Keir Dullea was in besides 2001 and apparently it was things like The Fox. It might be interesting, as it's apparently a lesbian romance from 1967 from a major studio. Widescreen.
Hot Millions (1968, Eric Till)
A Peter Ustinov comedy written by Peter Ustinov. Worth a look. Widescreen.
Bad Ronald (1974, Buzz Kulik)
Another TV movie. Actually sounds somewhat interesting, kind of a thriller type thing.
How Sweet It Is! (1968, Jerry Paris)
I'm sort of surprised Warner didn't release this one regularly. I guess Debbie Reynolds doesn't have a DVD draw. Widescreen, sixties comedy thing.
Never Too Late (1965, Bud Yorkin)
The second Jim Hutton movie. Mostly of incredible interest because former Jane (of "Tarzan and") Maureen O'Sullivan is one of the leads. Widescreen.
A Lady of Chance (1928, Robert Z. Leonard)
Oddly, it's definitely the silent I'm most interested in, just because Edmund Goulding worked on the script and Norma Shearer's good.
West Point (1927, Edward Sedgwick)
It sounds like An Officer and a Gentleman but at West Point and silent. Or what I think An Officer and a Gentleman sounds like, because I've never seen it.
Across to Singapore (1928, William Nigh)
Soap opera silent with some possible high seas action scenes.
A Majority of One (1961, Mervyn LeRoy)
Alec Guinness plays a Japanese guy. Um. Yeah, probably "worth" seeing just for that bit. Widescreen.
Five silents--Warner Archive really does just seem to be a place for Warner to get those out--and some odds and ends. The TV movies, well, fingers crossed Warner's got some great stuff in the vault along those lines (and the two this week could be quite good, I have no idea); the sixties comedies seem a little suspect, since they're coming out on the Archive line and not in regular retail.
