WARNER ARCHIVE: MacDonald, Eddy, Mitchum in New Wave

Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy, although not paired, lead this week's wave from the Warner Archive Collection over at WBShop.

MacDonald's films are Cairo (1942), Three Daring Daughters (1948) and The Sun Comes Up (1949) -- the last two being her final screen appearances. Nelson Eddy stars in The Chocolate Soldier (1941), along with Rise Stevens and Nigel Bruce.

Not to be out shined though is Robert Mitchum in My Forbidden Past (1951) with Ava Gardner, Melvyn Douglas, Lucile Watson and Janis Carter.

Also out are three early 60's action/adventure flix:

• Black Gold (1962) - Philip Carey, Diane McBain, James Best, Fay Spain, Claude Akins
• The Castilian (1963) - Broderick Crawford, Cesar Romero, Frankie Avalon
• Coast of Skeletons (1964) - Richard Todd, Dale Robertson

All will be available here at ClassicFlix on December 18th.

These new DVDs add to the total of over 1,000 Warner Archive titles exclusively available for rent at ClassicFlix.com.
