“Lang’s first Western and his first film in color…displays the director’s interest in the psychology (and indeed the pitfalls) of revenge.”

– Geoff Andrew, Time Out Film Guide


“A handsome and spacious affair set against Technicolored mountains and night skies; many of its small-town scenes carry the flavor of the post-Civil War years.”

– Bosley Crowther, The New York Times



A sequel to Henry King’s 1939 Jesse James,The Return of Frank James(1940) is, significantly, directed by the one and only Fritz Lang; even more significantly, it stars Henry Fonda as an otherwise good-hearted man bent on avenging the death of his brother at the hands of Bob and Charlie Ford (John Carradine and Charles Tannen). Beautifully shot by George Barnes, highlighted by a score from David Buttolph, and featuring the screen début of the sensational Gene Tierney.

Feel the thunderous impact of a mammoth-scaled romantic action epic – marking Tyrone Power’s final film under his long-term Twentieth Century Fox contract after becoming a star there 19 years earlier – in an all-new 4K restoration transfer showing off stunning location lensing in Ireland and South Africa and an equally spectacular Franz Waxman score! Susan Hayward, Richard Egan, Agnes Moorehead and Rita Moreno also star in this undersung Cinemascope rouser.

“An entertaining romance…the Zulu action sequences have some real excitement, and the scenery is lusciously photographed with effective use of CinemaScope.” – TV Guide



“Director Henry King…uses the wide CinemaScope canvas to display splendidly the lengthy snake-like ribbon of the wagon train stretching over miles of South African terrain as well as wowing us with the enormity of the two Zulu attacks.”

– Matt Hough, HomeTheaterForum.com



Widely touted as a kind of South African Gone with the Wind, 1955’s epic Untamedtells the story of Irish emigrant Katie (Susan Hayward) and Boer cavalry commander Paul van Riebeck (Tyrone Power); their romance begins in Ireland and faces trials and adventures in a roiled South Africa. Directed by veteran Henry King, shot by Leo Tover, and featuring a sumptuous score by the great Franz Waxman.

With “a powerful, compelling drama that hits the heart with uncanny accuracy” (Norma McLain Stoop, After Dark), “John Schlesinger has proved himself to be master director, coming up with a lush, plush, romantic entertainment” (Bernard Drew, Gannett Newspapers). This wartime invasion force on hi-def Blu-ray offers a terrific cast, a marvelous Richard Rodney Bennett score, and a new Audio Commentary conversation with co-star Chick Vennera. One of the Year’s 10 Best – Best Director (Schlesinger): National Board of Review. Best Supporting Actress (Rachel Roberts) – Best Costume Design (Shirley Russell): British Film Academy Awards.



YANKS

“So alluringly captures the quaint spirit of a small English community and the breathtaking beauty of its outlying countryside that after the end credits vanish you’ll want to hop on the next plane to the British Isles.”

– Jon Matsumoto, Los Angeles Times


“Thanks to a standout cast and the sure hand of director John Schlesinger, Yanksis deeply felt and emotionally mature. [Gere] is very good here, likable and sensitive. As for Lisa Eichhorn, she can do no wrong.”

– Glenn Erickson, DVDTalk.com


Yanks(1979) is perhaps director John Schlesinger’s most tender film, a lovely evocation of life on the northern English home front during World War II. Colin Welland and Walter Bernstein’s screenplay focuses on three couples in a small town “invaded” by American troops in the run-up to D-Day: an Arizona boy (Richard Gere) who pursues an already engaged shopkeeper’s daughter (Lisa Eichhorn); an aristocratic married lady (Vanessa Redgrave) who develops a warm friendship with a sympathetic troop leader (William Devane); and a girl-crazy city kid (Chick Vennera) who falls for a cheeky bus conductress (Wendy Morgan). Beautifully shot by Dick Bush and featuring a score from the singular Richard Rodney Bennett.

I've just received an email from Screen Archives in which they state that Beat The Devil is Zone A only, unlike all previous Twilight Time discs. I wonder why this disc has been restricted in this way when none of the others have.

 

[Jimbo64]

They have released half a dozen region a only titles

I didn't know that. Which were the others?

 

[Robert Crawford]

I didn't know that. Which were the others?

I think some of those titles are "Leave Her to Heaven", "Drums Along the Mohawk", "Man in the Dark" 3-D, "Rollerball" and "Fate is the Hunter". I think most of them are Fox titles like "Violent Saturday", "Flaming Star" and "Stormy Weather" or some MGM titles thru Fox and then TT. If I'm not mistaken the first TT release of "Journey to the Center of the Earth" which is a Fox title was released in "A" Region only while the second TT release of it was "A, B & C" Regions.

Thank you for that. I have most of Twilight Time's Fox titles and I never knew they were Zone locked. Just for a laugh, I'm going to try them in my Zone B player! (I think I've mentioned before I have different players for different zones, and I never change the zone in either player)

Screencaps of Return of Frank James are up at DVDBeaver. Wow... just wow....
