Kino: Two Newly Remasterd Films with Carole Lombard Dated for Blu-ray

Posted August 30, 2018 06:52 PM by Webmaster

Kino Lorber have dated and detailed two previously announced titles starring Carole Lombard: Made for Each Other (1939) and Nothing Sacred (1937). The two releases will be available for purchase on November 13.

Made for Each Other

Synopsis: Carole Lombard (Nothing Sacred) delivered the best performance of her career and James Stewart (Broken Arrow) earned himself a place among the screen's most notable actors in this humor-laced marital drama that's as refreshing as a breath of spring. Attorney John Mason (Stewart) marries Jane (Lombard) after a blissful, one-day courtship. Life is wonderful... until they are overwhelmed by the demands of John's boss, his meddlesome mother and the birth of a baby. Just when the marriage is at the breaking point, a crisis turns their world upside down. Will their newfound love falter... or are the young newlyweds truly made for each other?

John Cromwell (Since You Went Away) directed this wonderful David O. Selznick (I'll Be Seeing You) production which featured wonderful performances by Charles Coburn (The More the Merrier) and Lucile Watson (Watch on the Rhine).

Nothing Sacred

Synopsis: He's an unscrupulous newspaperman eager to exploit the story of a young woman's death by radium poisoning. She knows she's not really dying but can't pass up a free trip to New York with all the trimmings. Carole Lombard (Made for Each Other) and Fredric March (Inherit the Wind) co-star in this classic black comedy by the great William Wellman (Beau Geste). Legendary screenwriter Ben Hecht's sharply satirical screenplay, depicting the morbid nature of the scandal-hungry public, is more relevant than ever—with such wonderfully comic lines as "Doctor, I want to know the worst... we go to press in fifteen minutes!"

Wellman keeps the comic pace frantic in one of the screen's cleverest screwball comedies. With a supporting cast featuring some of Hollywood's funniest character actors, including Margaret Hamilton (Driftwood), Charles Winninger (A Lady Takes a Chance) and Walter Connolly (It Happened One Night), Nothing Sacred is nothing less than hysterical.
