[Kino Lorber Insider]

Coming August 3rd!

Arise, My Love (1940)
• NEW Audio Commentary by Film Historian Kat Ellinger
• Theatrical Trailers

From Mitchell Leisen, the acclaimed director of Midnight, Death Takes a Holiday and Easy Living, comes this romantic comedy starring Hollywood greats Claudette Colbert (The Gilded Lily, The Bride Comes Home) and Ray Milland (The Lost Weekend, Alias Nick Beal) with a script co-written by the legendary team of Billy Wilder and Charles Brackett (Five Graves to Cairo, The Emperor Waltz). Ace reporter Augusta “Gusto” Nash (Colbert) poses as the wife of imprisoned American pilot Tom Martin (Milland) to save him from execution by Spanish fascists. The gesture lands her a front-page story and the praise of her boss, Mr. Phillips (Walter Abel, Mr. Skeffington). Of course, Tom tries to romance Gusto; but though she likes him, her career comes first, and Tom himself prefers freedom-fighting to settling down. Comedy becomes drama as their mixed feelings lead them on a circuitous path through the deepening chaos and catastrophe of the early days of World War II. Gorgeously shot by Charles Lang (Angel) and co-starring Dick Purcell (The Bank Dick), Dennis O’Keefe (Brewster’s Millions), Esther Dale (The Awful Truth) and George Zucco (The Cat and the Canary), this wonderful blend of action, comedy and melodrama won an Academy Award for Best Original Story.

No Time for Love (1943)
• NEW Audio Commentary by Film Critic Nick Pinkerton
• Theatrical Trailers

One of Hollywood’s favorite screen duos of all time, Claudette Colbert (The Gilded Lily, It Happened One Night) and Fred MacMurray (The Bride Comes Home, Murder, He Says), join together in the romantic comedy No Time for Love. Sophisticated fashion photographer Katherine Grant (Colbert) is assigned to photograph the tough “sandhog” construction workers at a tunnel project site. One of the cocky, well-built workers, Jim Ryan (MacMurray), falls for the upper-class Katherine, but the picture is not pretty when he loses his job and she hires him to be her assistant. This heartwarming classic proves the old adage that opposites attract! Wonderfully directed by Mitchell Leisen (Hands Across the Table, No Man of Her Own), shot by Charles Lang (Separate Tables) and co-starring Ilka Chase (Now, Voyager), Richard Haydn (The Emperor Waltz), Paul McGrath (A Face in the Crowd) and June Havoc (Gentleman’s Agreement).

Claudette Colbert fans have a lot to be grateful to Kino Lorber for (The Gilded Lily, The Bride Comes Home) and now No Time For Love and Arise My Love and I suspect KL's not done with Colbert yet.

 

[Matt Hough]

It's wonderful to see some of Mitchell Leisen's work being released on Blu-ray.

 

[borisfw]

Very happy to see commentaries on both Arise My Love and No Time For Love. Can't wait. Thank you KL.

With all these Claudette Colbert titles, I’m gonna have make a section for her as I did for Bob Hope and Rock Hudson. Lol

saw this on the other site, Marty (1955) is getting a new 2k remaster and being released in the following, Aspect ratio: 1.37:1, 1.85:1

hopefully the Insider will talk a little more about it on this site, but that should make a lot of people happy.

Looks like I’ll be getting MARTY again…

 

[battlebeast]

Mr. Insider, will MARTY be a two disc set?

 

[Robert Crawford]

Mr. Insider, will MARTY be a two disc set?

Even if the movie has two different aspect ratios, a two disc set is not needed for a 91 minute movie.
