I'll be buying El Paso, but this one (The Last Command) is far higher on my list. Really looking forward to seeing 3-color Trucolor with 4K restoration. I hope to hear more about the process of this restoration.

I've never seen The Last Command, and in the past couple years it seems to have taken on legendary status -- Any movie brave enough to cast Arthur Hunnicutt as Davy Crockett (likely looking more like the real guy than Fess Parker or John Wayne) has my interest.

Looks like Arthur may have been typecast here, especially after his Supporting Actor Oscar nomination for THE BIG SKY (1952). He was great there playing the 'Davy Crockett-like' Zeb Calloway.

"Wild Women" - from the famed ABC Movie of The Week produced by Aaron Spelling.

How about some more tv movies from Aaron Spelling Productions like "But I Don't Want To Get Married!" (1970) - star-studded comedy with women chasing after a newly widowed Herschel Bernardi.

The spirits of the general and his daughter take possession of Pat's and Sara's bodies and a dark secret is revealed.

I vaguely remember this movie, but haven't seen it since it first aired on TV. I don't even remember if I liked it or not.

Wow! Kino has done it again. I have a German DVD but it's a lousy transfer that I can now replace. I never thought I'd see this on blu.

Thomas, How much is Stanwyck in this film?

Stanwyck is the lead and she looks great in her Nolan Miller costumes. It's your standard haunted house vehicle and to be honest, it's one of the weaker entries. But Stanwyck is always worth watching and hopefully the spiffed up 2K transfer will make it a more enjoyable watch.

Thank you as I just wanted to make sure as Stanwyck is my all-time favorite actress.

Yeah, it's odd that Kitty Winn rather than Stanwyck is featured on the blu ray cover (assuming it's the final artwork) as Stanwyck is a legendary star. Winn did co-star in The Exorcist so maybe that's why they went with her rather than Stanwyck. Well, at least we can agree that Stanwyck is a great actress :) (sorry I couldn't resist). Stanwyck did another TV horror movie called Taste Of Evil with Barbara Parkins. Perhaps that will be coming in the future.

I don't understand that either since Winn is listed fourth in the credits and "The Exorcist" came three years later.

Coming to DVD and Blu-ray December 4th via Kino Classics:

THE ATOMIC CAFE (1982)
New 4K Restoration!

Armageddon has never been so darkly funny as in THE ATOMIC CAFE. This 1982 cult classic juxtaposes Cold War history, propaganda, music and culture, seamlessly crafted from government-produced educational and training films, newsreels and advertisements. Taken together, these sources cheerily instruct the public on how to live in the Atomic Age, how to survive a nuclear attack and how to fight and win a nuclear war. Returning to home video in a sparkling 4K restoration created by IndieCollect, THE ATOMIC CAFE is an absurdist blast from the past that remains startlingly relevant.

Bonus Features:
*Selection of Government Propaganda Films (Courtesy of The Prelinger Archives)

*Filmwax Radio Interview with filmmakers Kevin Rafferty, Jayne Loader, and Pierce Rafferty

*Audio Excerpts from Jayne Loader's CD-ROM project "PUBLIC SHELTER" (1995)

*Trailer

3 CREEPY MOVIES I'M WAITING FOR ON BLU-RAY/ HD (OR AT LEAST DVD):

DREAM DEMON (1988) Jemma Redgrave, Kathleen Wilhoite.

CREATURE (AKA "TITAN FIND") (1985) Klaus Kinski, Lyman Ward. One of the better "Alien" rip-offs

THE CAT AND THE CANARY (1978) starring Michael Callan, Honor Blackman, Olivia Hussey, Edward Fox, Wilfred Hyde White. (If not KL, do you know who holds rights?)
