Welcome And June Release Plan

Tim Millard 0:01

Hello and welcome to the Extras. I'm Tim Millard, your host, and joining me is George Feltenstein to announce the June Blu-ray releases from the Warner Archive. Hi, George.

George Feltenstein 0:10

Hello.

Tim Millard 0:11

Well, June is so loaded, George, that we decided to split this month into two different podcasts because there's 10 Blu-rays coming out, and we already did the uh the previous podcast with five of those releases. And today we're going to announce the remaining five Blu-rays. And I think uh there's a lot of anticipation for this one, of course. So why don't we dive right in?

George Feltenstein 0:35

I'm ready with you.

Tim Millard 0:37

Well, first up, we have the Clarence Brown directed Come Live With Me from 1941. What can you tell us about this film?

Come Live With Me Hidden MGM Gem

George Feltenstein 0:46

Every once in a while we run into these films that just deserve to be better known. And I don't really know why they aren't, because these are films that were critically well received when they were released. They have big stars, they are good films that hold up, and yet they're kind of forgotten about. But I believe it has a fairly high rating on IMDB, but people who have seen it really like it. But it's a charming romantic comedy with Hedy Lamarr and Jimmy Stewart. This is Jimmy James Stewart, you know, after his uh Oscar-winning performance in the Philadelphia story. And uh I think this is probably one of the last, if not the last, film he made before entering the armed forces. Because he actually entered the armed forces before Pearl Harbor. He was very dedicated to his country. And he was a patriot, and he was a wonderful, wonderful person. And this film deals with the Nazis in the way that the Eddie Lamar character is basically a refugee from Europe escaping the negative, terrible things that were happening. But this is a light romantic comedy. Her character is from Austria, and I believe in real life Eddie Lamar was as well. So there's an arranged marriage, and big surprise, they end up really falling in love by the end of the picture. I'm spoiling the end, but this is a very classy movie, well written, tight. Running time is about a little under 90 minutes, like 85, 86 minutes, and they're delightful, and they're on the supervision of one of the underrated great directors at MGM, even though he made so many famous films, Clarence Brown. And we talked about Clarence Brown in terms of Letty Linton, but uh Clarence Brown made wonderful films at MGM uh right up until his very last films, and then uh he retired. This is just a charming romantic comedy. Jimmy Stewart is a writer and he's down on his luck. You know, he basically needs a roommate, and Henny Lamar becomes his roommate, and ultimately uh romance ensues. But it's very sophisticated, very well written, and a real delight. If people haven't seen it, this is something I'd recommend as a blind bye. This is a really delightful movie. And it's one of those rare MGM films where the original negative survived the ravages of the fire. This is a 4K scan off-the-camera negative. So it just is lustrous to look at and entertaining. So it's a great combination of factors for the film lover.

Tim Millard 4:08

Yeah, I'm looking forward to it because I love it when you bring out these little hidden gems. This this falls underneath the hidden gem, I think, it sounds like. And yet it's got such big stars. You know, James Stewart and Hedy Lamar. I mean, anything with Hetty in it, especially with this great restoration, it's gonna look fantastic. She's gonna look wonderful in it. Uh, you also have some nice extras on here as well, George.

George Feltenstein 4:30

We have two MGM shorts. These are all from 1941. America Preferred is one of the patriotic shorts that were being made before the war, but when war was imminent. Uh, another from the Four Corners, very, very impressive MGM short. And then we have an MGM cartoon that was created by these guys named uh Bill Hanna and Joe Barbera. This is right before Tom and Jerry became their 100% focus. So it's very much reminiscent of the Hannah and Barbera style at MGM, but it was right before the Tom and Jerry popularity had driven Fred Quimby, the producer, to say, hey, from now on, you guys are making Tom and Jerry cartoons because people love that cat and mouse. Or maybe they were saying, you know, other names like Jinx and Jasper. I don't know what the what happened in that meeting 85 years ago. Right. But um it's a great little cartoon, and we have the trailer on there as well, so it's gonna be a fun disc. Yeah, yeah.

Tim Millard 5:46

Well, I'm very interested in this next film that I'm gonna ask you about, and that is this Strange Cargo from 1940.

Strange Cargo Gable Crawford Farewell

Tim Millard 5:54

What can you tell us about this film?

George Feltenstein 5:56

Well, there are many uh reasons to be excited about Strange Cargo. First of all, the director, Frank Borzeggi, I've talked about him on the podcast before because we put out several of his films. I think he is a director that is appreciated by real serious cinephiles, but he needs to get that extra level of appreciation that we now see being given to people like Curtiz. He's just a magnificent director. And this film is the eighth but final pairing of Joan Crawford and Clark Gable. And being reflective of the time, Clark Gable gets the top billing over Joan Crawford. That wasn't happening a few years before. But this is as her career at MGM was starting to be a little bit unstable, but not reflective of the films, because she's wonderful in this film. This film was very successful, and the year after she made one of her very best films, A Woman's Face, directed by George Kukor. And she had just come off doing The Women in 1939, which was one of the greatest comedies ever made, in my opinion. So this is a really provocative film. It is action-packed, it's set in French Guiana. Joan leaves the Hollywood glamour uh on the side of the soundstage. This is a film where everybody's hot and squatty, and there's theoretically no makeup, you know, it's very raw. The performances are basically bad guys are threatening the good guys, and how are they going to overwhelm the bad guys? There is also a metaphysical spiritual aspect to the storytelling that's just different. I don't want to say that it's odd, it's different. And the storytelling really draws you in. The film is almost about two hours, but it feels like, given the beautiful new master, it feels like a much shorter movie because the storytelling is so tight and so good. Borsages direction, you can feel it. It's quite palpable and a fine fitting farewell to this screen team who had first started working together ten years, probably ten years earlier. I think the first Gable and Crawford pairing was in 31, but was probably started filming in the end of 1930. In real life, they had uh, let's just say that long after Clark Gable passed away, Joan Crawford was still in love with him. So I've seen TV interview, you know, kinescopes and tapes of her when she starts talking about Gable, her face just lights up in a way. Yeah. It's very, very moving. You know, I love all their films together, but this is particularly notable.

Tim Millard 9:21

I wanted to ask you about Peter Lori. He's also uh in this film.

George Feltenstein 9:26

Yes, he is a major part in the film, and this is when he had come off making the Mr. Moto movies at Fox. People knew who he was, and he's got a very significant role here. This is right like a year before he did the Maltese Falcon at Warner Brothers, you know, so it was a really great time in his career. This is the same year also that he made Stranger on the Third Floor at RKO, which we just released a few months ago. Right. And he's only in that movie for about five minutes. But he made such an impact on the story, you know, that he was resounding with audiences. And it's really one of Orzegis' most impressive films, in my opinion. And I think that this is a slam dunk to add to the collection for a true Warner Archive fan. We have a wonderful feature add-on here that focuses specifically on the Gable and Crawford partnership. It's uh I think somewhere between 12 and 14 minutes long. It was on the original DVD. We've carried that over here. And then we have an MGM R Gang short called Goin' Fishin', and an MGM cartoon called Home on the Range, and we have the original trailer. So it's a nicely packed disc, beautiful presentation. The new master is gorgeous. And uh, if you love Gable and Crawford, you gotta own this movie.

unknown 11:01

Yeah.

Tim Millard 11:02

Was this Gable's first film after Gone with the Wind?

George Feltenstein 11:07

I think so. I'm not sure. Um I read that somewhere, but uh it might have been because in 1940 he did two pictures that just come to mind. He did this and also Comrade X with Hedy Lamar. You know, I'd have to look it up, but it may be that this was the first produced.

Tim Millard 11:27

But it but he's coming off of this just huge hit, and uh then this film comes out.

George Feltenstein 11:33

So uh he rarely, during this era, he rarely had a bot. I mean, Gone with the Wind is its own thing. Right. But there's one film he made in 1937 called Parnell, that was a kind of a costume picture set in the 1800s, and that was a big flop. It was expensive and it people did not like it. But overall, this period in Gable's career, virtually every picture was a home run. So you really can't go wrong with the king of Hollywood. And seeing him with Crawford for the last time, it's really interesting also to see their career arc. And I know people are probably listening to this and wondering if there are other films with Gable and Crawford that haven't made their way to Blu-ray yet, if there are more coming, and I can say, yes, there are. We just released Possessed from 1931. So now we have Strange Cargo from 1940, and uh who knows what the future may bring.

Tim Millard 12:42

That's terrific. Well, George, next we have Rose Marie from 1936. What can you tell us about this musical?

Rose Marie Operetta Legacy And Radio

George Feltenstein 12:52

Well, this is uh probably one of the biggest pictures MGM had in the 30s, and that's saying something. This was the second screen teaming of Jeanette McDonald and Nelson Eddy. They had hit Big Together with Naughty Marietta the year before 1935. That was an operetta adapted to the screen. This is an operetta adapted to the screen. Its roots are a little bit more modern because I believe the stage production of Rosemary was, I'm I'm thinking, I'm not sure of this. I think it was in the mid-20s, maybe mid to late 20s. There was a silent film of Rosemary made by MGM in 1928 that starred drum roll Joan Crawford. And I have no idea what that film was like because it's a lost film. It doesn't exist, and it's been lost for a very long time. This is important to honor the fact that MGM preserved more of their silent films than any other studio by miles, but there are still heartbreaking losses right up through 1929, where there were films that were silent and some even part talkie that didn't survive to be preserved. So the silent film of Rosemary, of course, didn't take advantage of the music. Remaking it with McDonald and Eddie was a natural idea. It's set in the Canadian Rockies. Nelson Eddie is a mountie, and he's out to pursue this criminal played by Jimmy Stewart. This is one of his earliest films, who is the brother of opera star Jeanette McDonald. So Jeanette McDonald leaves the opera stage and hightails it into the Canadian Rockies to try to save and protect her outlaw brother. In the meantime, Mountie Nelson Eddie falls in love with beautiful Jeanette. And of course, this film is famous for their Indian Love Call, which was excerpted briefly in the original That's Entertainment. And that was a lot of people's introduction to Nelson Eddie and Jeanette McDonald. The fan base for McDonald and Eddie is quite remarkable because they made their last film together in 1942, so that's 84 years ago. There are still McDonald Eddie fan clubs. There are people who are fiercely dedicated to their musical and cinematic legacy. And for many years, when MGM was still MGM, they used to meet every year at the MGM lot to watch a McDonald's Eddie movie, and MGM was very accommodating to them. I find it very charming and remarkable that their fan base has continued to live on despite the passage of time. We did release about a year ago, I'm thinking, their first Technicolor film together, Sweethearts, which was a very different kind of film for them because it was set in contemporary times and it wasn't an operetta. It had operetta sequences in it, but it was a more modern film. This is one of their true operetta smash hits. This was a massive hit at the box office. It got re-released many times theatrically, as recently as I think 1962. I think that was the last national reissue, six years after it had been sold into television syndication. Rosemary was remade in 1954 as a cinemascope film. With the addition of CinemaScope and Color, everybody did a good job. And that was Ann Blythe, and it was Fernando Lamas and Howard Keel. I mean, great cast and supporting Bert Lahr and Marjorie Main, but that's a different flavor entirely. That had the benefit of color and cinemascope and some location photography. This is black and white, but it is a true beloved classic, and this is what people want to see. And this disc will not disappoint.

Tim Millard 17:40

And you've got quite a few extras on here as well.

George Feltenstein 17:44

Well, it's interesting because Nelson and Jeanette made their last movie together in 1942, but they continued to appear together on radio, especially through the 40s. And we do have on here one of the Screen Guild radio shows where they do Rosemarie in 1947, 11 years after the movie. Now, this plot is squished into a half hour. The Screen Guild show eventually became an hour-long. And some of the Nelson and Jeanette movies were done in an hour-long fashion on Lux Radio Theater, but Rosemary was not. But what I've added here are performances on the Kraft Music Hall in 1948 where Nelson was the host and Jeanette was the guest star. There's a 1937 Vicks Open House, Vicks being the people that make Vaporub, that Jeanette hosted for one season. We also have a show called The Electric Hour, and Nelson Eddie was the star of that. And we have an excerpt from one episode where Nelson and Jeanette do a medley of their hits, and then another full program where they sing a lot of their more famous songs. But the radio shows combined with the film really give you a sense of the scope of fans. I remember growing up, my my aunt and uncle, who were about 10 years older than my parents, they were really a different generation. I don't think my parents ever have seen any of these movies. But my aunt and uncle had, probably as kids, but they were huge McDonald and Eddie fans. So that's the first way I knew about them. You know, musicals didn't always translate into other countries. But McDonald and Eddie were globally beloved, and this is one of their absolute most popular films. So we've got a beautiful new Blu-ray, and uh it is a quantum leap of improvement over what was available on DVD. We also have an MGM short that's very interesting called Hollywood the Second Step. And it's about a would-be actress trying to make it in Hollywood and what the process is. It was not a documentary, it was like, you know, basically written, but it's entertaining. And then we have one of the Happy Harmony cartoons, Happy Harmonies, called Little Cheeser, and these are all from 1936. This is a wonderful film. It's a loaded disc, and I'm sure that McDonald Eddie fans will be very happy to see their singing sweethearts, and those who have yet to discover their charms, this could open the door for them.

Tim Millard 20:42

Yeah, I mean, there's a lot of people who, I'm sure, are just over the moon that this is finally coming out in HD. Uh, so it should look and sound so good. So Well, next we have a film from 1971. So we're we're gonna jump from 36 to 71 here, but it's getting a lot of interest, and that

Pretty Maids Cult Comedy And 4K

Tim Millard 21:01

is Pretty Maids All in a Row. What can you tell us about this comedy?

George Feltenstein 21:05

From the sublime to the riotous. Yes. Um Pretty Maids All in a Row is a very unique film, and it winks at you the whole time. They put together a very impressive cast: Rock Hudson, Angie Dickinson, Telly Svalis, Ronnie McDowell, and I guess the protagonist of the movie, if you will, is a young boy, 17 years old. I think is what he's supposed to be in the movie. The actor's name was John David Carson, not related to Johnny Carson. And John David Carson is obsessed with the substitute teacher played by Angie Dickinson prior to her becoming policewoman. This film was based on a book that I believe was released in nineteen sixty eight by a French author. MGM bought it, but. But they eventually hired a guy named Gene Roddenberry, who did this show that I'm a little bit familiar with called Star Trek. You'd say this is as far apart from Star Trek as it could be, but yet if you know the original series and know the frequent appearances of mini skirts on some of the young ladies, that tells you what this movie is. This movie could not be made today. A lot of people would be very offended by it. When it came out, uh there was a Playboy magazine feature on it. It was directed by Roger Vadim, most famous for directing Barbarella, but also Brigitte Bardot's breakthrough film and God Created Woman. So it's a very sex-focused movie. It is very R-rated. It is very politically incorrect, and that is why a lot of people love it. We released it through Warner Archive on DVD, I guess, 14, 15 years ago, but it was not surprising to me, uh, one of our bestsellers at the time. Because this film has its contingent of fans. I understand that Quentin Tarantino has gone on record and saying it's one of the 10 or 12 greatest films ever made. It even has the Osmonds singing a song called Chili Winds under the main title. Why? Because the Osmonds were under contract to MGM Records, and MGM still owned MGM Records at the time. So they always tried to have an MGM Records recording artist do a song under the main title of a new MGM movie. It's just odd to have the very proper Prim Osmonds singing this song on this very uh, can't call it a grindhousey movie, but it's uh it pushes the envelope. And for people who appreciate this kind of film, it is beloved. And the cult following is really strong. And I thought, let's scan the negative at 4K and create a new master, because the master we used on DVD just doesn't cut the mustard.

Tim Millard 24:18

Yep.

George Feltenstein 24:19

So I'd be surprised if you could find somebody like me who likes both Rosemary and Pretty Maids all in a row. They're very different audiences theoretically, but I like to see, you know, the quirks of every quirky movie, as well as, you know, the beautifully made masterpiece. Is it a masterpiece of cinema? No. But is it a lot of fun? Yes. I'm very glad that we're able to up the quality uh since we announced that it was coming. It has gotten far more attention than I anticipated, and I knew that it would get a lot of attention, but it's been even more.

Tim Millard 25:01

Yeah.

George Feltenstein 25:02

There are many laughs to be had that were very much, I think, intentional. Right. I had the pleasure of being one of the many, many people who could call Roddy McDowell a dear friend. He was. And I talked to him about this movie, and he said it was just a paycheck, and it was a lot of fun. And he, you know, he did a lot of those kinds of films. If there was an opportunity to work, he worked. Yeah. So it's good news for fans of the film for sure.

Tim Millard 25:34

And I think uh those of us who know you well know that you are a big Star Trek fan.

George Feltenstein 25:39

So uh belated, it was my midlife crisis to get into the next generation and then find the whole universe.

Tim Millard 25:48

But um Well, the whole the whole Gene Roddenberry uh that he wrote it and produced it, I could see where you know there is there's elements there that you're gonna enjoy.

George Feltenstein 25:57

So like I said, there is a connection if you think about how Star Trek you know dressed up the young ladies on the show.

Tim Millard 26:07

It's of its era, 1971. Yes, exactly.

George Feltenstein 26:10

It's a product of its time. Right.

Tim Millard 26:13

Right. Well, the last one we're gonna talk about here is uh so, so, so many people are excited about this.

Last Summer Restored And Expanded Extras

Tim Millard 26:23

And you briefly had a chance to talk about it a few months back, but I think now uh you'll have more information you can share with people, and that's last summer from 1969. What can you tell us about this highly anticipated release?

George Feltenstein 26:38

Well, we don't have enough time for me to say everything I need to say about this movie, but what I will say very briefly, it is about a group of teenagers during the summer of I'll assume 1968, because the film was released in 1969. This is at the very beginning of the sexual revolution and free love, and the director Frank Perry and his wife of the time, Eleanor, were making basically independent films. And this was an independent film. It was ultimately released through Allied artists. It focuses on these two very attractive young men and beautiful Barbara Hershey, and they encounter the character played by Catherine Burns, who at the time was billed as Kathy, who is not necessarily attractive the way they are physically. And the way the characters interact with each other, it has probably a more realistic portrayal of what young people were like and probably still are like in some ways, and basically a dark side to possibly good people doing things that are not good. I don't want to get into the plot too deeply. The performances are remarkable, but the thing that's most notable about this film is that it was Oscar-nominated film. Catherine Burns' performance as supporting actress was nominated in 1969. Also, contextually realized this was the year that Midnight Cowboy won Best Picture. So cinema was changing. This film represents that. This is something that I had announced on Facebook or hinted on Facebook in 2010 that we were working on and planning to release. And we knew that the camera negative was missing the last reel, but we weren't allowed to touch camera negatives in those days at all. So we were relying on interpositives. And I had ordered a new master to be created, and I got calls from Warner Brothers Motion Picture Imaging St. George, the picture and the audio are not lining up. How do we solve this problem? And we brought in other elements and we could never make sense of it. This film had many different versions and edits. So if I could brand this release, I would brand this the Larry Karazuki special edition of Last Summer. Now, why do I say that? Larry is, aside from being a wonderful guy, and aside from being on the Academy's motion picture preservation committee, he is an Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning screenwriter for television. He did the People versus O.J. Simpson. He wrote with his partner, Ed Wood, uh, The People versus Larry Flint. He's just got great credits. He's a great person, and he has an obsession with this film and wanted to see it complete. Just to backtrack a little bit, Allied Artists was a struggling film company for many years. They eventually went bankrupt in 1979. Their assets were purchased by Loramar. Uh, a little less than 10 years later, we Warner Brothers bought Loramar. Well, the negative was already missing the fifth reel before Loramar bought Allied artists. Allied artists did not keep good paperwork. They did not keep good records. We did not have any original script. We did not have any roadmap of any kind of knowing what was what and what went where. Larry helped to clarify the back history of the various versions and ultimately sat with our mastering team to bring everything together and make sure that we had the most complete original version as blessed by the director Frank Perry. So we have on this release something we don't normally have, and something where I know if Warner Archive is deficient in any way, we're deficient in not creating new special features. This is one of those rare exceptions, not unlike Chris of Frankenstein, where we have gone all out. Larry and an expert author on Frank Perry's work do an audio commentary new for this release. We have a deleted scene that was in a TV version with Ralph Waite playing the father of Richard Thomas. And I didn't even mention that the primary leads in the film are Barbara Hershey, Richard Thomas, and Bruce Davison, and Catherine Burns. And adults really don't factor into the plot, it's really about the four teenagers. Richard Thomas, before he was John Boy Walton, had this scene with Ralph Waite that was cut out and put back into the TV version. We've got that on here. The film has been shown recently in its new master, first at the American Cinematech at the end of March, and Barbara Hershey and Bruce Davison were there at the screening, and Larry had a QA with them on stage. That's on this disc. And then just I think a little more than a week ago, as we're recording this, there was a showing at the Paris Theater in New York with Richard Thomas, who could not be in Los Angeles because he's doing a play in New York. Richard Thomas and Larry do a QA at the Paris Theater. So between the two pieces, it's almost an hour, and you're getting the reaction of these actors who did this work 56, 57, 58 years ago. Richard Thomas had not seen the film since it opened. So that's 57 years. And his reaction to it, this was it was a it's a very visceral film. It's a very it's a difficult film in many, many ways. But to have their QA's on here is incredibly insightful, and we're very, very fortunate. We also have an Allied artist promotional reel from the era. We have the trailer both in a regular form, and then as Larry did it as part of trailersfromhell.com, where all sorts of creative people, both behind and in front of the camera, comment on three-minute trailers. It's a wonderful site. It's run by the great director, Joe Dante, and I recommend it to everyone. So this disc is loaded with special features. And uh I wish we could get the funding to make that the regular and the norm rather than the exception. We were very fortunate in this case due to the generosity and the creative generosity, especially of Larry. Given that we had announced this movie was coming in 2010, it has never been legally on DVD. It was out on VHS, and uh there were illicit bad, bad, bad, bad copies out there. You know, um now it's gonna be available legally and as the director intended. And I think that's what's most exciting. Yeah. So I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I'm very persistent in not giving up. And we didn't give up on this movie, and to have it now coming out the way it's coming out. There's even a booklet inside with an essay written by Larry on the film. I'm just very proud of the release. We're giving the film this kind of treatment because it has been neglected for so long, not intentionally. Uh, when it has aired on TCM, it's been a sanitized TV version because that's all that was available and was in the wrong aspect ratio, it was four by three. So now people will see it the right aspect ratio without compromises. It's just something we're very proud of to be bringing to the audiences.

Tim Millard 35:39

Yeah. I mean, this is fantastic because of the opportunity with all of these extras that Larry helped curate and pull, you know, pull together because he was doing the hosting.

George Feltenstein 35:49

I will say flat out, this aside from the extras, we wouldn't have been able to know how to put the film back together as the director intended without Larry. It's been wonderful for me to see how what he dreamt wasn't possible become a reality, and now people will be able to own it.

Tim Millard 36:09

Yeah, yeah. There's just so much excitement for this film and for this release. And at the recent TCM Film Festival, Barbara Hershey was honored uh there, which is fantastic, coinciding now with this uh Blu-ray release of the film. So it's really just a capper on June that this is coming out, and and people are just gonna you know finally get to own it in HD and see it in HD.

George Feltenstein 36:35

And with without uh compromises.

Tim Millard 36:38

Right. Yeah. Well, George, that wraps up our June discussion and it's just been uh just been a fantastic to go over these releases with you. Before we say goodbye, I did want to ask

July Tease 4K Hints

Tim Millard 36:48

you looking out to July and the rest of the summer. Anything you can uh give us a sneak peek?

George Feltenstein 36:55

All I can say is I think we broke a record with 10 releases in June. And I think July is going to be as big, if not bigger. Wow. And we've got some 4Ks in the oven. It's possible we may have one for July. So I'll just leave it at that.

Tim Millard 37:19

You bet, you bet. Well, I I just want to let everybody know so that they could pick up a second job so that they can afford to buy all of these wonderful releases that are coming out in June and July. I joke, of course, but it's fantastic. There's just so many, and people say, I don't want to just pick up one. They're wanting to pick up a vast majority of these releases that you've had now uh recently and of course in June. So uh I'm looking forward to that continuing over the course of the summer. So well, George, as always, thank you for coming on and telling us the details about all these great releases. Thank you, Tim. Wow, what a great month. June is. I'm looking forward to all of these fantastic releases. And then to hear that July may have the same number or even more, it's uh it's really really fantastic. And maybe we can get a 4K coming in July, but my guess is if it's not July, they'll be soon after. So I'm looking forward to that as well.

People internationally prefer movies games, it's because they do something to make it a little bit easier for you to get your uh shipping out in a time. Yeah, but yes, you might want to think about following or subscribing to the show, go to that, and that it's good to get all of our updates and all of our Warner Archive podcasts.
