Kino Lorber have dated and detailed two upcoming releases: Karl Malden's Time Limit (1957) and Lamont Johnson's Cattle Annie and Little Britches (1981). The two releases will be available for purchase on April 21.
Cattle Annie and Little Britches
Synopsis: From Lamont Johnson, the acclaimed director of The McKenzie Break, The Last American Hero, The Groundstar Conspiracy and Lipstick, comes this offbeat western adventure about the daring exploits of two teenage thrillseekers who decide to become outlaws. Cattle Annie (Amanda Plummer, Needful Things) and Little Britches (Diane Lane, Streets of Fire) are taken up by the remnants of the Doolin-Dalton gang, led by the aging Bill Doolin (Burt Lancaster, The Train, Valdez Is Coming). When Bill winds up in jail where he's to be hanged, the girls and the gang must rescue Bill and elude the gallant lawman Tilghman (Rod Steiger, A Fistful of Dynamite). The wonderful cast also includes John Savage (The Onion Field), Scott Glenn (The Challenge), William Russ (Wanted: Dead or Alive), John Quade (Breakheart Pass) and Michael Conrad (The Longest Yard).
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Synopsis: During the Korean War former POW Major Cargill admits to having collaborated with the enemy but military investigator Colonel Edwards wants the details.
Time Limit is a legal drama film directed by Karl Malden, based on the Broadway play of the same name written by Henry Denker and Ralph Berkey. The film is Malden's only directing credit; in his autobiography, Malden stated that he "preferred being a good actor to being a fairly good director."
Richard Widmark co-produced the film and stars alongside Richard Basehart, who was nominated for the BAFTA Award for Best Foreign Actor for his performance.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Synopsis: Jenny (Marlo Thomas, TV's That Girl and Friends) is unmarried, pregnant and alone in New York City. Delano (Alan Alda, Sweet Liberty, TV's M*A*S*H) is a young filmmaker trying to avoid the Vietnam War draft. A chance meeting in Central Park leads to their friendship and mutual concern for each other, and they soon agree that the perfect solution to their problems is a "marriage of convenience." Jenny will have a father for her baby and Delano will escape the draft. But the plan goes awry when Jenny begins to fall in love with her new husband, who's in a relationship with someone else. Film and television veteran George Bloomfield (To Kill a Clown, Nothing Personal) directed this touching romantic drama co-starring Elizabeth Wilson (The Day of the Dolphin) and Vincent Gardenia (Lucky Luciano) as Jenny's parents, with Charlotte Rae (TV's The Facts of Life) and Estelle Winwood (The Producers).
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Synopsis: This musical biography of Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg is based on the play of the same name. Living in poverty after graduating from a music conservatory, Grieg scandalizes his family by marrying his cousin Nina. Grieg has an affair with a former schoolmate, Therese Berg, a wealthy woman who makes a deal with her influential father to end the romance if he'll arrange a concert for Grieg in Stockholm.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Kino Lorber have also confirmed that they are preparing a Blu-ray release of Joel Schumacher's comedy D.C. Cab (1983), starring Mr. T, Adam Baldwin, Gary Busey, Gloria Gifford, and Marsha Warfield.
Synopsis: The tale of a hapless group of cabbies and a rundown cab company owned by Harold. Albert comes to town with a dream of starting his own cab company but needs to motivate Harold's employees to want to make something out of themselves. It is only when Albert is kidnapped that the cabbies must decide whether or not they are loyal to Albert and his cause.
