Warner Archive has revealed several new Blu-ray titles that will be available for purchase this September. They are: I Died a Thousand Times (1955), The Beast of the City (1932), The Beggar's Opera (1953), Black Samson (1974), and Touche Turtle and Dum Dum: The Complete Series (1962-1963).
I Died a Thousand Times
Description: Based on the Humphrey Bogart star-making classic High Sierra, I Died a Thousand Times brings the enveloping expanse of CinemaScope and a new color restoration to the gritty saga of old-timer Roy Mad Dog Earle (Jack Palance), just released from prison and leading nervous small-timers (Lee Marvin and Earl Holliman) on a resort heist fated not to go like clockwork. Soft-hearted Earle is so drawn to a crippled girl (Lori Nelson) that he pays for curative operation. But when things go wrong, it's a brassy dime-a-dance girl (Shelley Winters) who stands beside him. Veterans Lon Chaney and Mae Clarke and newcomers Dennis Hopper and Richard Davalos are featured in the top-flight cast. With a taut script by High Sierra novelist W.R. Burnett and a heart-pounding manhunt finale, I Died a Thousand Times is a rousing, memorable thriller. Newly remastered in High Definition for this Blu-ray release from 4K scans of the original camera negative.
STREET DATE: SEPTEMBER 30.
The Beast of the City
Description: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer took a page from Warner Bros.' playbook with this gritty, pre-code, gangster classic which provided a major step in the career of its leading lady, Jean Harlow. Walter Huston leads the cast as a respected police captain who leads the fight against a vicious gangland chief. Adapted from a story by W.R. Burnett, whose Little Caesar broke new ground for the genre a year before, THE BEAST OF THE CITY is a gripping and exciting tale, now remastered and restored for its Blu-ray debut.
STREET DATE: SEPTEMBER 30.
The Beggar's Opera
Description: Laurence Olivier makes his singing debut in this lively Technicolor adaptation of John Gay's 18th century theatrical piece. Olivier stars as Captain Macheath, the leader of England's bandits and cutthroats. Macheath is in love with Polly Peachum (Dorothy Tutin), the daughter of beggar king Peachum (George Devine). He has also dallied with Lucy (Daphne Anderson), the daughter of corrupt constable Lockit (Stanley Holloway). Since it is in the best interests of both Peachum and Lockit to rid the world of Macheath, the two conspire to imprison and hang the scoundrel. While waiting to be hanged, the captain is entertained by a musical beggar, who has written an opera in which the highwayman is the hero.
STREET DATE: SEPTEMBER 30.
Black Samson
Description: One brother's war against the Man.......Rockne Tarkington stars in this blaxploitation fan-favorite. When white drug dealers try to move their operation into the 'hood, they do not plan on a local nightclub owner, a master of martial arts known locally as Black Samson. They try to make a deal. They try to kill him. But when they beat up his girlfriend, the dealers go to far. Samson (Tarkington) leads his pet lion and the people of the neighborhood in a war that drives the drug pushers out of Samson's piece of the 'hood.
