Warner Archive has started revealing new titles that will be included in its November batch of Blu-ray releases. They are: Tennessee Johnson (1942), The Mortal Storm (1940), and Josie and the Pussycats: The Complete Series (1970-1971).
Josie and the Pussycats: The Complete Series
Synopsis: They're back - and better than ever in High-Definition Blu-ray! All 16 episodes of the hit animated adaptation of the beloved comic-book series are here, as the all-girl rock band led by guitarist Josie, along with Pussycats Melody and Valerie, sing their catchy tunes through exotic adventures and fabulous hair. They are joined by Josie's devoted boyfriend Alan, their manager Alexander, his trouble-making sister Alexandra, and her not-to-be-forgotten mischievous feline Sebastian (voiced by Hanna-Barbera's legendary Don Messick).
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Synopsis: Masterful director Frank Borzage's brilliance behind the camera empowers this story of Hitler's rise to power as seen through the microcosm of one German family. What on the surface seems small and personal, is instead a towering bold revelation of the brutality of the Nazi regime. James Stewart and Margaret Sullavan lead an impressive cast in a sweeping tale of the political and human chaos that rips a family apart, leading to savagery, sacrifice, and ultimately heroism.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Synopsis: This film provided M-G-M an opportunity to showcase the impressive talents of studio newcomer Van Heflin, who had just earned a Best Supporting Actor Oscar® for the 1941 crime hit Johnny Eager. The studio found an ideal role for Heflin in Andrew Johnson, the Tennessee tailor-turned-senator who broke with the South, rose to the vice presidency under Abraham Lincoln and soon became – after Lincoln's assassination – the first U.S. president to face impeachment. With inspired direction by William Dieterle, Heflin convinces as Johnson "by the sheer sincerity and strength of his performance" (The New York Times). Studio stalwart Lionel Barrymore portrays Johnson's nemesis, Thaddeus Stevens, and Ruth Hussey plays Johnson's devoted wife.
