Warner Archive Announces July Releases

Posted May 29, 2022 11:56 PM by Webmaster

Warner Archive has revealed that it plans to add two new titles to its Blu-ray catalog this July. They are: The Frisco Kid (1979) and Adventures of Don Juan (1948).

The Frisco Kid

It's 1850 and new rabbi Avram Belinski sets out from Philadelphia toward San Francisco. Description: Cowpoke bandit Tom Lillard hasn't seen a rabbi before. But he knows when one needs a heap of help. And getting this tenderfoot to Frisco in one piece will cause a heap of trouble—with the law, Native Americans and a bunch of killers.

Gene Wilder and Harrison Ford are one feisty team as rabbi and rescuer in this rough-'n'-ready romp that rivals Wilder's earlier Blazing Saddles in Wild West hilarity. Director Robert Aldrich is a seasoned hand at blending roughhouse and laughter, as fans of his earlier The Dirty Dozen and The Longest Yard will attest.

With a full posse of screen talents, The Frisco Kid rides tall in the comedy saddle. Also starring Ramon Bieri, Val Bisoglio, and George DiCenzo.

STREET DATE: JULY 12.

Adventures of Don Juan

Description: Errol Flynn (The Adventures of Robin Hood, Captain Blood) stars in this Oscar-winning swashbuckling yarn as the legendary lover who romances the queen and saves the country from treason.

In this later-career swashbuckler, Flynn is a warmer, wittier version of his earlier characters as he plays Don Juan, the Spanish lover who fights to save the Spanish queen (Viveca Lindfors) from the snares of the evil Duke de Lorca.

Co-starring Robert Douglas (Ivanhoe) and Alan Hale (It Happened One Night), this gorgeous production won the Academy Award for Costume Design. Directed by Vincent Sherman.

STREET DATE: JULY 19.
