Kino Lorber have dated and detailed their upcoming Blu-ray releases of The Last Remake of Beau Geste (1977) and In God We Trust (1980). The two releases will arrive on the market early next year.
The Last Remake of Beau Geste
Synopsis: It's a spoof to end all spoofs as comedy legend Marty Feldman (Young Frankenstein) shatters the Gary Cooper/French Foreign Legion classic in The Last Remake of Beau Geste. Set in England and Morocco in 1906, Feldman's "remake" mocks all the do-or-die extravaganzas we've known and loved as he portrays Digby, identical twin brother to Michael York's (The Island of Dr. Moreau) stalwart Beau Geste. Joining in the desert lunacy are a vast array of stars including Peter Ustinov (Death on the Nile), Terry-Thomas (Those Daring Young Men in Their Jaunty Jalopies), Ann-Margret (52 Pick-Up) as the boys' seductive stepmother and James Earl Jones (Star Wars) as Sheik Abdul the Disgusting. Feldman co-wrote, stars and makes his outrageous directorial debut with this zany comedy which, as the title suggests, threatens to end the whole romance-adventure genre once and for all. The hilarious cast also includes Trevor Howard (Kidnapped), Henry Gibson (The Long Goodbye), Roy Kinnear (How I Won the War), Spike Milligan (The Bed Sitting Room), Avery Schreiber (Scavenger Hunt) and Hugh Griffith (Kind Hearts and Coronets).
Special Features and Technical Specs:
In God We Trust
Synopsis: When the Order of St. Ambrose the Unlikely finds itself broke, the monks pin their hopes on the generosity of televangelist Armageddon T. Thunderbird (Andy Kaufman), and send the naïve Brother Ambrose (Marty Feldman) to Los Angeles to ask for $10,000 in person. En route, Ambrose is ripped off by traveling preacher Dr. Sebastian Melmoth (Peter Boyle), and subsequently rescued from the streets by a friendly prostitute (Louise Lasser), who helps him to track down the elusive Thunderbird.
