SYNOPSIS:
Medic, an anthology of realistic stories focusing on the skills of medical practitioners and the cutting edge medical technology, first aired in September 1954 running for two seasons. Each episode, taken from real case files from Los Angeles County Hospital, was introduced by Dr. Konrad Styner, played by Richard Boone (Have Gun, Will Travel). Medic was not the first American TV show about medicine, but it set the tone for decades of TV programs to come. In fact, James Moser, the creator and head writer of Medic, went on to create Ben Casey.

The show was shot on location in the L.A. County Hospital, and doctors there not only participated in the filming, but had editorial control to ensure that each medical drama on Medic was authentic and truthful in its portrayal of the medical profession.

In addition to Richard Boone, the series featured an impressive guest cast, including Lee Marvin, Denver Pyle, Charles Bronson, Dennis Hopper, Vera Miles, Lee J. Cobb, Michael Ansara, and Andrew Duggan.

This 6 DVD set, containing 44 heart-stopping episodes, represents the most complete collection of Medic ever released.

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 a December 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.
