Kino Lorber will bring to Blu-ray two more films starring Rock Hudson: Man's Favorite Sport? (1964) and Strange Bedfellows (1965). The two releases will be available for purchase on March 8.
Man's Favorite Sport?
Synopsis: Salesman Roger (Rock Hudson) is revered for his ability to sell fishing supplies; he's even authored a book on the art of angling. So, when a fishing tournament comes up, his boss asks him to enter. Too bad he doesn't actually know the first thing about the sport, having never done it himself. Helping him with a crash course in rods and reels is the competition's publicist, Abby (Paula Prentiss), and her friend "Easy" (Maria Perschy) -- much to the consternation of Roger's fiancée. Directed by Howard Hawks.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Synopsis: Sparks fly when up-and-coming executive Carter Harrison (Rock Hudson) meets free-spirited artist Toni Vincente (Gina Lollobrigida). They quickly marry, only to discover their differences are too great to overcome. Five years later, a now-separated Carter learns his reputation as a swinging bachelor may hurt his chances at securing a big promotion. Carter's friend Richard Bramwell (Gig Young) encourages him to reconcile with Toni, but her independent streak may jeopardize their love yet again. Directed by Melvin Frank.
