Marking the historic fifth collaboration of cinema’s greatest “odd couple” pairing out of their nine legendary films together, Sydney Greenstreet and Peter Lorre create more on-screen magic in Warner Bros.’ classic thriller “The Mask of Dimitrios”. When the body of notorious international criminal Dimitrios Makropoulos (Zachary Scott in his mesmerizing film debut) washes ashore in Istanbul, mild-mannered Dutch mystery novelist Cornelius Leyden (Peter Lorre) obsessed with tracking the dead man’s treacherous past. As Leyden traces a serpentine trail of espionage, blackmail, and murder across a shadow-drenched pre-war Europe, he is intercepted by the grandiose, enigmatic Mr. Peters (Sydney Greenstreet) – a man with his own deadly agenda. Together, the mismatched pair uncover a labyrinthine underworld where no one can be trusted, and the truth is the most dangerous weapon of all. Director Jean Negulesco deftly guides this labyrinthine adaptation of Eric Ambler’s novel, employing a sophisticated flashback structure that keeps the tension coiled like a spring. Backed by a stellar, world-class supporting cast including Faye Emerson and Victor Francen, and enriched by Arthur Edeson’s moody, atmospheric cinematography, the Warner Archive Collection proudly presents this essential slice of suspense, beautifully restored in High Definition from a 4K scan of its original nitrate negative.

Randolph Scott stars as gunslinger whose job is to bring three men to justice–but in a Western town, he must discover which three of the seemingly respectable citizens are criminals. Now, one-by-one the fugitives will be ensnared by The Bounty Hunter. Scott portrays Jim Kipp, an adventurer who tracks down criminals for the reward money, is assigned to hunt three train bandits who escaped with $10,000. Following the robbers’ trail to the town Twin Forks, Kipp forces the local doctor to admit the fugitives are masquerading as respected citizens in Twin Forks. But which three citizens? This is the mystery Kipp must solve, and the action-packed scenario gives Scott yet another showcase to underscore why he had such a long career as a big-screen favorite for generations. Directed by panache by the deftly talented Andre de Toth (House of Wax), the film was shot in the stereoscopic 3-D process but only released to theaters in standard 2-D prints. This Warner Archive Blu-ray presents a meticulous restoration of the original 3-D presentation as the creatives intended

In this whimsical bit o’ blarney adapted from George M. Cohan’s 1922 Broadway hit; Judy Garland takes center stage in a landmark production that gave the legendary star her very first adult screen role. Garland displays her unparalleled range by playing dual roles: plucky Irish immigrant Nellie Noonan and, later, her lookalike daughter, Little Nellie Kelly. The story follows Nellie as she braves a new life in New York with her upstanding new husband, Jerry Kelly (George Murphy). Along for the journey is her cantankerous, fiercely protective father (Charles Winninger), whose constant meddling continues long after a heartbreaking tragedy leaves Jerry to raise young Little Nellie on his own. As the younger Nellie grows up and falls in love, the cycle of generational friction and family loyalty begins anew. Produced by the legendary Arthur Freed and directed by Norman Taurog, Little Nellie Kelly blends delightful comedy with touching drama, highlighted by Garland’s poignant command of her craft that gave audiences a stunning preview of the masterful dramatic actress she would soon become. Musical highlights include Garland’s swinging rendition of “Singin’ in the Rain”, “A Pretty Girl Milking Her Cow” and the rousing “It’s a Great Day for the Irish”.

Hold on to your seats as three of Hollywood’s most legendary screen icons collide in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s smash hit aviation adventure, Test Pilot. Clark Gable stars as Jim Lane, a relentlessly reckless, hard-drinking sky devil who lives for the unparalleled rush of pushing experimental aircraft to their absolute breaking points. Joining him is Spencer Tracy as Gunner Morris, the fiercely loyal, rock-solid mechanic who constantly pulls Jim out of a bottle and keeps his wings in the air. But when Jim crash-lands on a Kansas farm and swiftly marries the independent Ann Thurston (the ever-wonderful Myrna Loy), a turbulent, high-stakes romantic triangle ignites on the ground while death-defying peril awaits in the skies. Directed with customary bravado by Victor Fleming, Test Pilot captured the hearts of millions and earned an Oscar® nomination for Best Picture. Praised for its groundbreaking aerial sequences—painstakingly filmed utilizing authentic military fields and actual Boeing Y1B-17 bombers—this high-flying adventure perfectly blends pulse-pounding action with raw, dramatic star power.

Dive into the darkest, most unhinged corner of classic B-noir with Monogram Pictures’ legendary cult masterpiece, Decoy. If you think you know the classic femme fatale, you haven’t met Margot Shelby. Brought to chilling, psychotic life by British import Jean Gillie, Margot isn’t just looking for a way out—she’s looking for $400,000 in buried bank robbery loot, and she doesn’t care how many bodies she has to drop to get it. When her gangster boyfriend takes the secret of the cash to the gas chamber, Margot orchestrates a jaw-dropping, mad-science plot involving a corrupt prison doctor (Herbert Rudley), a toxic antidote, and the literal re-animation of an executed man. Blending the gritty nihilism of hard-boiled crime with an outrageous touch of Gothic horror, director Jack Bernhard crafts a breathless, shadow-drenched nightmare of double-crosses, roadside executions, and pure psychological depravity. Margot Shelby reigns supreme as one of the most unapologetically evil, manipulative, and cold-blooded sirens in cinema history. See the film that pushes the limits of the genre to its absolute, wildest extremes!

America’s sweetheart Doris Day takes the Technicolor® spotlight opposite the dashing and talented Gordon MacRae in Tea for Two. An ever-so-loose re-working of the 1925 Broadway smash No, No Nanette, this exuberant musical casts Doris as Nanette Carter, a high-spirited heiress with stars in her eyes and a burning desire to bankroll a Broadway show. There’s just one catch: her wealthy, eccentric uncle (the hilarious S.Z. Sakall) bets her $25,000 that she can’t say “NO” to every question for a full 24 hours! What follows is a breathless cascade of romantic misunderstandings, comedic chaos, and sophisticated charm as Nanette navigates the persistent advances of her handsome suitor Jimmy Smith (MacRae). Bursting with show-stopping choreography, outstanding tap routines by the amazing Gene Nelson, and a treasure trove of timeless jazz-age standards—including “Crazy Rhythm,” “I Want to Be Happy,” and the intoxicating title track “Tea for Two”—this is a cinematic confection that is certain to please.

Get ready for bargains, bedlam, and the ultimate department store takeover! The screen’s most legendary lunatics—Groucho, Chico, and Harpo—are open for business and operating at maximum velocity in their comedy classic, The Big Store.
When the wealthy heir to the Hastings Department Store becomes the target of a sinister, greedy management plot, who else could he hire for protection but Wolf J. Flywheel (Groucho), the world’s most delightfully incompetent private detective? Along with his trusty assistants, Wacky (Harpo) and Ravelli (Chico), Flywheel plunges the retail empire into absolute chaos. From high-society high jinks to a breathtaking, stunt-filled roller-skating chase through the aisles, the brothers turn the sales floor into their own personal playground of anarchy. It wouldn’t be a Marx cinematic romp without Chico’s dazzling piano acrobatics, Harpo’s enchanting harp melodies, and Groucho’s comedic vocalization “Sing While You Sell.” This last of the trio’s M-G-M outings showcases the timeless physical comedy, rapid-fire puns, and the brilliant slapstick that defined their legendary careers.

From start to finish, this biopic about renowned stage-and-screen composer Kern (played by Robert Walker) features 25 stars and a nearly equal number of Kern tunes.

Gypo Nolan stumbles through a foggy Irish night, his brain pickled in whiskey and his soul tormented by shame and fear. Gypo is an informer, a turncoat who betrayed his friend to the British police for 20 pounds. Now he can’t spend the money fast enough – nor can he run from his treachery fast enough – as he brawls, brags, swaggers and lies his way toward his fate. John Ford earned his first Best Director Academy Award® and star Victor McLaglen took home a Best Actor statuette for this searing four-time Oscar®-winner set in 1922 Dublin. Timely in its portrait of murderous political strife between occupier and insurgent, and timeless in its exploration of the tortured netherworld of human guilt, The Informer is a masterwork of cinema for ages.
