  A Broadway producer has the talent, the tunes, the theatre and everything else he needs to put on a show except the dough. Not to worry, say Ginger Rogers and the other leggy chorines decked out in giant coins. Everyone will soon be singing We're in the Money. Soon after 42nd Street, the brothers Warner again kicked the Depression blues out the stage door and into a back alley. Mervyn Le Roy directs the snappy non-musical portions involving three wonderfully silly love matches (including Dick Powell and Ruby Keeler). And Busby Berkeley brings his peerless magic to the production numbers, his camera swooping and gliding to showstoppers that are naughty (Pettin' in the Park), neon-lit (The Shadow Waltz) and soul-searing (Remember My Forgotten Man). Solid cinema gold!

  Limited Edition of 3,000 copiesTyrone Power, cast against type — at his own insistence — gives the performance of his lifetime as handsome scumbag / carnival barker / con-man Stanton Carlisle. He seduces fellow sideshow performer Mademoiselle Zeena (Joan Blondell) to learn the secret of her once lucrative mind-reading act with her alcoholic husband (Ian Keith). Carlisle, a born mentalist , secures the secret method and sets off with his new carnie wife, Molly (Coleen Grey) to milk the bigtime as a spiritualist in Chicago. As Carlisle's success grows, it's only a matter of time before his greed — and twisted involvement with femme fatale psychoanalyst Lilith Ritter (Helen Walker) — bring Stanton's world crashing down around him.Extra's:World Blu Ray PremiereNew HD TransferAudio Commentary with genre historian Johnny Mains & film historian Michael Brooke28 Page BookletOriginal Mono AudioStill GalleryOriginal Theatrical TrailerOptional English SDH subtitles for the main featureArt CardsReproduction PosterMany more to be confirmed

  Eureka Entertainment to release A TREE GROWS IN BROOKLYN, Elia Kazan's heartfelt and sentimental first feature, presented on Blu-ray from a 2K restoration as a part of The Masters of Cinemas Series from 22 July 2019. Director Elia Kazan's first film, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn shows that the filmmaker's great empathy for his characters was already quite evident at this early juncture, and this endures as one of the most moving Hollywood dramas of the 1940s. Based on Betty Smith's novel a bestseller in the U.S. but also one of the most popular books among American soldiers overseas in WWII Kazan's debut is a sensitive, masterful adaptation. Set among Brooklyn tenements circa 1912, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn is a portrait of the Nolans, an Irish-American family living in financially challenging circumstances, often made worse by father Johnny's drinking and employment problems. But matriarch Katie keeps the family together during all of the obstacles, caring for son Neeley and daughter Francie, as well as Katie's outspoken, oft-married sister Sissy. But just as Francie's gift for writing opens up new avenues, more tragic developments test the family's resolve. Winning Academy Awards for actors James Dunn (as Johnny) and Peggy Ann Garner (as Francie), and featuring splendid work by Dorothy McGuire and Joan Blondell, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn is a heartfelt testament to the strength of family, and offers an early indication of Kazan's unrivalled proficiency with actors. Special Features: 1080p transfer of the film on Blu-ray from a 2K restoration completed from a 4K scan of the original film elements Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard-of-hearing Feature-length commentary by Richard Schickel with Elia Kazan, Ted Donaldson, and Normal Lloyd The Making of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn An Appreciation of Dorothy McGuire A Tree Grows in Brooklyn Hollywood Star Time: Original radio broadcast version of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn from 1946, starring Peggy Ann Garner, James Dunn and Joseph Kearns PLUS: a collector's booklet featuring new essays by Kat Ellinger, Phil Hoad, and Philip Kemp, alongside rare archival imagery

• Bram Stoker's Legend Of The Mummy 2 | DVD | (03/12/2001) from £3.95   |  Saving you £-1.96 (N/A%)   |  RRP £1.99

  A group of archaeology students who look like they have just walked out of Beverly Hills 90210 are given the privilege of studying an Aztec mummy that has been discovered in Los Angeles. It turns out, however, that a geek among them is in fact a high priest of an ancient Aztec religion, who wishes to resurrect the mummy in order to punish his peers for years of social neglect. Such a synopsis might conceal what this film actually is: a mummy waddling around what looks like a villa (presumably the producer's house) and killing the few so-called characters to whom we have been introduced. The six murders are directed without any suspense or shock factor and, more criminally for a low-budget horror film, there is not even any tongue-in-cheek humour or over-the-top gore. Admittedly, the mummy itself is very entertaining: portly, and with a fluffy, Jack Charlton side-parting, it looks like someone has buried a close friend's dad and dug them up two weeks later. Truly horrific. --Paul Philpott
