Warner Archive has announced that it will release two new catalog titles on Blu-ray Gordon Parks Jr.'s Super Fly (1972), starring Ron O'Neal, Carl Lee, and Sheila Frazier, and Vincente Minnelli'S Designing Woman (1957), starring Gregory Peck, Lauren Bacall, Dolores Gray, Sam Levene, and Tom Helmore. The two releases are expected to arrive on the market early this summer.
Super Fly
Synopsis: Priest is a prince of the streets, a charismatic businessman who wants out of cocaine-dealing. But a mysterious kingpin doesn't want Priest to change his ways. And that triggers murder, revenge and double-crosses that push Priest into a corner — and heat the neighborhood to flash point.
Super Fly is one of the more enduring streetwise films of its era, due to the dynamic central performance of Ron O'Neal (Red Dawn, Original Gangstas), the sizzling score by Curtis Mayfield and the gritty direction of the late Gordon Parks, Jr. (Three the Hard Way, Aaron Loves Angela). Super Fly is super entertainment with an indelible message. It's life on the edge, put together by talents who know just how sharp it can get.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Synopsis: After covering a golf tournament in Los Angeles, sportswriter Mike Hagen returns to his New York home with a tan. And with a fashion-designer wife he scarcely knows.
Romantic pitfalls surface gleefully in this Vincente Minnelli-directed comedy featuring an Oscar®-winning* script and Manhattanites – an ex-flame (Dolores Gray), low-life hustlers(Chuck Connors, Jesse White) and an addled palooka (Mickey Shaughnessy) among them – who rub elbows and funny bones. Lauren Bacall plays the stylish title character. As Hagen, Gregory Peck gamely displays his comedic flair, pratfalling into a chair, slyly mimicking Bacall and coping with indignity as ravioli is served…in his lap.
