GOLDWYN: Wuthering Heights, Bishop's Wife & More in January

Back in April, we announced that Warner had acquired the rights to distribute 74 films from the Samuel Goldwyn library. Today, the studio made public the first six to be released on standard DVD this January 15th.

Wuthering Heights (1939) and The Bishop's Wife (1947) will be the most welcome of the lot as they have proven to be the most scarce.

The other four are: The Best Years of Our Lives (1946), Guys and Dolls (1955), Hans Christian Andersen (1952) and The Pride of the Yankees (1942).

Almost all the bonus features will carry over from the previous HBO/MGM releases, and some will be added as in the case of Best Years which includes an introduction by Virgina Mayo and interviews with Virginia Mayo and Teresa Wright.

Retail will be $14.97 each, but they are all available at ClassicFlix.com for just $10.99.

Standard versions accompany these Blu's and while Invasion doesn't contain any bonus features, High Noon does carry over a featurette from the previous release. Additionally, both previous DVD releases will be kept as rentals as the bonus features on them are numerous.

Boasting such superlatives as "Mastered from an original 35mm print" and as "being the only version(s) of the of the original film authorized for release from the estate of David O. Selznick," Kino has announced aDecember 20th release date for the above two perpetually public domain films on standard and Blu-Ray.

Neither will have bonus features, but both are expected to be a vast improvement of previous releases from various manufacturers.

Nothing Sacred
As potent today as it was when released in 1937, this classic screwball satire stars Carol Lombard as Hazel Flagg, the small-town girl who mistakenly believes she's dying of radium poisoning.

Sensing a great human interest story that will tug the public's heartstrings and help sell newspapers, exploitative journalist Wally Cook (Fredric March) brings Hazel to New York City and turns her into a media darling. Wally's callous strategy takes a sudden turn when he starts having feelings for the vulnerable Hazel.

Filmed in early three-strip Technicolor and scripted by Ben Hecht and James H. Street, this sharp comedy still sizzles with its cynical take on media profiteering, and the matching of Lombard and March is unforgettably entertaining.

A Farewell to Arms
A tale of the love between ambulance driver Lt. Henry (Cooper) and Nurse Catherine Barkley (Hayes) during World War I. The action takes place in Italy and the two fall in love during the war and will stop at nothing to be together. The film also analyses Lt. Henry's feelings on war and the purpose of fighting.

Previously released by Criterion in 2007, Alfred Hitchcock's The Lady Vanishes (1938) will make its Blu-Ray debut on December 6th. All the bonus features from the previous release will carry over.

Out on the same day will be Ernst Lubitsch's Design for Living (1933) on Standard and Blu. Released in SD by Universal in 2005, Design gets the Criterion treatment with great bonus features (below) in addition to being presented in a sparkling new transfer.




Design for Living
Gary Cooper, Fredric March, and Miriam Hopkins play a trio of Americans in Paris who enter into a very adult "gentleman's" agree­ment, in this continental pre-Code comedy freely adapted by Ben Hecht from a play by Noël Coward, and directed by Ernst Lubitsch.

A relationship comedy and a witty take on creative pursuits, it concerns a commercial artist (Hopkins) unable—or unwilling—to choose between the equally dashing painter (Cooper) and playwright (March) she meets on a train en route to the City of Light.

BONUS FEATURES:
  • “The Clerk,” starring Charles Laughton—director Ernst Lubitsch’s segment of the 1932 film If I Had a Million, which he made just before Design for Living
  • Selected-scene commentary by film professor William Paul
  • Play of the Week: A Choice of Coward, a 1964 British television production of the play Design for Living, introduced on camera by playwright Noël Coward
  • New interview with film scholar and screenwriter Joseph McBride on Lubitsch and Ben Hecht’s screen adaptation of the Coward play
  • PLUS: A booklet featuring an essay by film critic Kim Morgan
