Kino Lorber have detailed four upcoming Blu-ray releases: Tobor the Great (1954), Visit to a Small Planet (1960), Custer of the West (1967), and Krakatoa: East of Java (1968). All four will be available for purchase this September.
Tobor the Great
Synopsis: To avoid the life-threatening dangers of manned space exploration, Professor Nordstrom creates a highly advanced form of artificial intelligence capable of piloting a starship to other worlds. In order to transmit alien data, the extraordinary robot is infused with a powerful telepathic device that enables it to instantly read and even feel emotions. Danger strikes when a sinister band of covert agents kidnaps Gadge, the professor's 10-year-old grandson. But Gadge has a powerful ally. For he has developed a psychic, emotional bond with his grandfather's robot. And now Gadge's captors must suffer the wrath of his protective friend. They must face a mechanical monstrosity bent on a killing rampage of revenge and destruction. Starring Charles Drake, Karin Booth, Billy Chapin, Steven Geray, and Taylor Holmes.
Special Features and Specs:
Visit to a Small Planet
Synopsis: Jerry Lewis is Kreton, a childish alien who, against his teacher's will leaves his planet to visit the Earth, and lands in the backyard of a famous television journalist who doesn't believe in U.F.O's and aliens. Wanting to study humans but not able to fully understand them, Kreton makes a mess out of it, generating a lot of comic situations. Also starring Joan Blackman, Earl Holliman, Fred Clark, and John Williams.
Special Features and Specs:
Custer of the West
Synopsis: From decorated war hero to doomed commander, General George Armstrong Custer is brilliantly portrayed by Robert Shaw (Jaws, The Sting) in this stunning, "giant spectacle of a film" (Motion Picture Herald). With an all-star cast that includes Jeffrey Hunter and Robert Ryan, this epic adventure vividly chronicles the rise and fall of this larger-than-life legend!
After his triumphs in the Civil War, General Custer becomes one of the most renowned military figures of his time. But he infuriates as many people as he impresses... never more so than in the days leading up to the Battle of Little Bighorn, where his sense of pride overshadows his dedication to duty... with disastrous consequences.
With optional English SDH subtitles.
STREET DATE: SEPTEMBER 12.
Krakatoa: East of Java
Synopsis: Captain Hanson of the Batavia Queen embarks on a perilous search for sunken treasure off the island of Krakatoa. To find a fortune in rare pearls, he must brave a boiling sea, douse an uprising by a horde of convicts, and outwit a greedy crew desperate for more than their fair share... only to confront the most devastating and catastrophic volcanic explosion the modern world has ever felt! Starring Maximilian Schell, Diane Baker, Brian Keith, Rossano Brazzi and Sal Mineo.
With optional English SDH subtitles.
