Still hoping for more Doris Day too!!

Ballad of Josie is coming out. Is it any good? Usually her films opened at Radio City but they skipped this one. Like With Six You Get Eggroll.

Brendan Frye (Joseph Gordon-Levitt, The Lookout, Looper) is a high school loner, someone who knows all the angles but has chosen to stay on the outside. When the girl he loves turns up dead, he is determined to find the “who” and “why” and plunges into the dark and dangerous social strata of rich girl Laura (Nora Zehetner, Beneath), intimidating Tugger (Noah Fleiss, Joe the King), drug-addled Dode (Noah Segan, Deadgirl), seductive Kara (Meagan Good, D.E.B.S.), and the ominous Pin (Lukas Haas, Witness). But who can he really trust? These are the ingredients of Brick, a gritty and provocative thriller co-starring screen legend Richard Roundtree (Shaft). Rian Johnson (Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Knives Out) wrote and directed this clever and twist-filled neo-noir that wowed audiences and critics alike.

FILM NOIR: THE DARK SIDE OF CINEMA XXII
• 2021 & 2022 HD Masters by Paramount Pictures - From 4K Scans
• Audio Commentaries for THE ENFORCER and THE SCARLET HOUR by Author/Film Historian Alan K. Rode
• Audio Commentary for PLUNDER ROAD by Film Historian Jeremy Arnold
• THE ENFORCER: Theatrical Trailer
• Optional English Subtitles

THE ENFORCER (1951) B&W 85 Minutes 1.37:1 Not Rated
They Called Him The Enforcer… Screen legend Humphrey Bogart (The Maltese Falcon, Deadline – U.S.A.) is in fine form as a crusading District Attorney out to convict the head of a vicious murder-for-hire ring. But when his star witness is killed, Bogie must race against time to find the evidence he needs to bring the mob boss to justice. Told in a series of flashbacks, this tense, tough-as-nails crime thriller on the cutting edge of film noir was based on the true-life “Murder, Inc.” trials. Stylishly directed by Bretaigne Windust (June Bride) with uncredited help from the great Raoul Walsh (High Sierra, Pursued) and beautifully shot by Robert Burks (Vertigo). The stellar cast includes Zero Mostel (The Producers) as nervy thug “Big Babe” Lazick, with villainous favorites Ted de Corsia (The Lady from Shanghai) and Everett Sloane (Citizen Kane).

THE SCARLET HOUR (1956) B&W 95 Minutes 1.85:1 Not Rated
She’d Do Anything for a Thrill…Including Kill! From Michael Curtiz, the legendary director of Angels with Dirty Faces, Casablanca and Mildred Pierce, comes another dramatic triumph—The Scarlet Hour. Introducing Tom Tryon (The Cardinal) and Carol Ohmart (House on Haunted Hill) as sales manager E.V. “Marsh” Marshall and his boss’s wife Paulie, who, while scandalously parked out on Lovers’ Lane, overhear burglars planning for a heist of precious jewels. Driven by desire, Paulie and Marsh proceed to concoct a criminal scheme of their own. Twists and turns abound in Curtiz’s suspense-packed VistaVision production shot by Lionel Lindon (The Manchurian Candidate), co-starring Jody Lawrance, James Gregory, Elaine Stritch and E.G. Marshall. Guest star Nat King Cole, crooning “Never Let Me Go,” is a jazzy highlight.

PLUNDER ROAD (1957) B&W 72 Minutes 2.35:1 Not Rated
Roaring Down Hell’s Highway with $10,000,000 in Stolen Gold! In this gritty, one-of-a-kind heist film, five men carry out an elaborate plan to rob $10 million in gold bullion from a San Francisco-bound U.S. Mint train on a dark and stormy night. To throw the police off the track, they split the massive haul into three concealed truckloads and go off in different directions, hoping for a perfect getaway. But will the looters escape justice, or meet their cruel fates on Plunder Road? Starring character-actor greats Gene Raymond, Wayne Morris, Elisha Cook Jr., Stafford Repp and Steven Ritch, with soap opera legend Jeanne Cooper (The Young and the Restless) as Raymond’s gun moll. Directed by cult favorite Hubert Cornfield (The Night of the Following Day) and shot in glorious Scope by the esteemed Ernest Haller (Mildred Pierce).

I have Olive's THE ENFORCER, but this is probably a newer and superior master. I never got around to buying PLUNDER ROAD, and I imagine this master is also superior.
I don't have THE SCARLET HOUR. It's a film I've been dying to see, so I'm very happy Kino is bringing this out!

 

[Matt Hough]

I always thought Garbo Talks was a charming little film. Nice to see it's coming!

Kino should reach out to Mel Brooks and his team about this release. He is all about promoting anything starring the love of his life. He recently was on social media promoting TCM’s showing of TO BE OR NOT TO BE.

The Scarlet Hour - Carol Ohmart's finest hour - deserves to be more widely known so I'm pleased that Kino have included it in this box-set.

I will purchase this boxset even though I bought the 2023 Imprint Blu-ray "Rope of Sand". It's probably wishful thinking but I hope they have a different audio commentary than Samm Deighan's. The 2013 Olive "Rope of Sand" Blu-ray is in need of an upgrade while I don't own "Never Love a Stranger" on home video.

[Rodney]

Seems we are in a bit of a pattern with getting an Olive upgrade, a previous Imprint release, and one new to blu.

 

[JPCinema]

JENNIFER was on TV when I came home from school when I was 8. I was watching it and the last scene scared me so much, I ran out of the house terrified and later had nightmares. I've never seen it since nor do I remember the story. It will be interesting to see it again

The 2023 Jennifer Imprint release doesn't have an audio commentary so that should be different with this Kino release. I'm looking forward to the Union Station upgrade since that Blu-ray came out in 2013.

We couldn't care less about other territories releases, even ones illegally dumping product in the U.S. market.

The Olive re-releases are all from new and much better transfers. All from 4K scans.

Great to hear. Can't wait. Are there also English subtitles?
