White Woman: Have not seen this one, but what's not to like? Lombard and Laughton sweating it out in the tropics where Lombard is the only white woman surrounded by horny men.

I'm surprised you haven't seen White Woman because it came out on a very good DVD-R a few years ago. It's a pretty daring movie for its time and well worth watching. It's high time I re-watched that DVD-R!

 

[Camps]

White Woman's a lot of fun. Great pre-Code.

Just got a notice that my November W. C. Fields titles are being prepped for Shipping (and my CC was charged).

So it looks like I'll be able to watch the Great One a few days earlier than the Nov 9 release.

Laughing Heirs (1933)
Directed by Max Ophüls
Starring Heinz Ruhmann, Lien Deyers, Lizzi Waldmüller


In this delightful romantic comedy set in the heart of Rhine River wine country, boyish Heinz Rühmann (The Man in Search of His Murderer) stars as a bachelor who stands to inherit the vineyards of Bockelmann champagne. But the inheritance comes with a caveat: he must abstain from any alcohol consumption for a full month—not an easy task when surrounded by some of Europe’s finest wineries. A boisterous celebration of the pleasures of German wine, Laughing Heirs offered American audiences of 1933 a welcome escape from Prohibition, and offers today’s viewers a fascinating view of the vineyards of pre-WWII Germany and France.


Special Features:
*Audio commentary by film historian Anthony Slide
*Optional English subtitles

Rich and Strange, also known as East of Shanghai, is the splendid seafaring comedy from legendary director Alfred Hitchcock’s early years in the British film industry. Fred Hill (Henry Kendall) and his wife Emily (Joan Barry) lead a boring existence in the London suburbs. When the Hills come into an inheritance from a wealthy uncle, Fred quits his mundane job and they embark on a world cruise to get a taste of the high life. But all does not go as planned as the couple’s voyage becomes fraught with treacherous romantic duplicities. Money does not buy happiness when Hitchcock steers the ship! A visually dazzling and slyly hilarious portrait of a marriage in crisis, Rich and Strange is a one-of-a-kind classic from the Master of Suspense!

Expresso Bongo (1959)
Directed by Val Guest
Starring Laurence Harvey, Sylvia Syms, Yolande Donlan, Cliff Richard, Wilfrid Lawson, Hermione Baddeley

Cohen Film Collection introduces this Fifties British rock and roll classic, a fast-paced story about a cheap, opportunistic Soho talent agent (Laurence Harvey) who always looks for the quick buck. He’s glib and he’s flashy, a bluffer with a ready talent for the quick double-cross. When he picks up amateur singer and bongo player (Cliff Richard) in a Soho espresso bar, he uses a little bit of luck and tons of chutzpah to transform the kid into a highly-regarded international singing sensation.

This 2K restoration from the original negative was done in collaboration with the British Film Institute and its Unlocking Film Heritage program. This is the full and original 1959 theatrical version, which includes a number of songs that were cut out of the later and more commonly available 1962 version that was released at the time to capitalize on the popularity of Cliff Richard.

Includes:
*Optional English SDH subtitles
*Trailers

Kino is killing it today! Thanks for the great announcements. Really looking forward to Expresso Bongo in its original 1959 version.

 

[Kino Lorber Insider]

THE CHRISTMAS TREE release has been cancelled.

 

[TheSteig]

I am hoping that one 40s title is either Ladies in Retirement or one of The Whistler films.
This is certainly a great opportunity for Kino to release the OOP Twilight Time titles like La Bomba, Mad Magician.. basically the ones that cost too much to buy now !
