Waikiki Wedding
Description: Bing Crosby stars as press agent Tony Marvin whose job at a pineapple company is to turn Hawaii into pure paradise in the musical comedy Waikiki Wedding. Tony is tasked with escorting a beauty contest winner (Shirley Ross) and her friend (Martha Raye) on a tour of the islands. When Miss Pineapple finds herself bored, Tony must go to outrageous lengths to convince her to stay in Hawaii or else risk a public relations nightmare. Co-starring Bob Burns and Anthony Quinn.
STREET DATE: SEPTEMBER 22.
College Swing
Description: A small-town college gets turned upside down when it falls into the hands of the new owner, Gracie (Allen), through inheritance. Deciding that school is a bore, she hires vaudeville actors (including Bob Hope, George Burns, Martha Raye, Betty Grable, Jackie Coogan, and Robert Cummings) to teach the classes. With the school in such an uproar, there is only one thing to do sing & dance! College Swing is a hilarious musical comedy starring some of the most talented performers in Hollywood history.
STREET DATE: SEPTEMBER 22.
Rhythm on the River
Description: Oliver Courtney (Basil Rathbone) is a composer of hit songs who is very much in demand. However, beneath the gloss of a well-polished performance lies the truth about Oliver's talent - it's the work of ghostwriters! Bob Summers (Bing Crosby) writes the tunes and Cherry Lane (Mary Martin) writes the lyrics - only neither knows the other exists and both believe they are collaborating with Oliver. When the two happen to meet, they discover they have a lot more in common than they ever imagined!
STREET DATE: SEPTEMBER 22.
Thunder Bay
Description: Steve Martin (James Stewart) and his partner (Dan Dureya) are a pair of oil trouble-shooters who attempt to strike it rich despite devastating hurricanes, dangerous love affairs and a hostile town of Cajun fishermen. Along the way, Martin encounters the alluring Stella (Joanne Dru) who fears his explorations will destroy her way of life, but cannot help the attraction she feels for the magnetic fortune seeker. This explosive adventure will leave you at the edge of your seat.
STREET DATE: SEPTEMBER 22.
Rhythm on the Range
Description: Jeff Larabee (Bing Crosby) is a champion rodeo rider heading back West after performing in New York. On the train ride home, he discovers a runaway heiress hiding out in his boxcar: the gorgeous Doris Halliday (Frances Farmer), who is fed up with big city wolves & hankers for romance with a real-life cowboy! Filled with unforgettable songs including I'm an Old Cowhand and featuring a peek at the yet unknown Roy Rogers (seen strumming his guitar in the band) & the screen debut of Martha Raye.
STREET DATE: SEPTEMBER 22.
Girls Like Girls
Description: Based on writer/director Hayley Kiyoko's hit single and best-selling novel of the same name, and featuring all-new music from Kiyoko, Girls Like Girls is a heartfelt coming-of-age story set over the course of one sun-drenched summer, where new-girl-in-town Coley falls in love for the first time while learning to accept herself along the way.
