Boys Town
"There is no such thing as a bad boy." That was the unshakeable belief of Father Edward J. Flanagan (Spencer Tracy), the visionary priest who battled skepticism, poverty, and prejudice to establish a unique sanctuary for homeless youths. In a sprawling Nebraska community built on trust and self-governance, Father Flanagan gives society's forgotten children a second chance at life. But the ultimate test of his philosophy arrives in the form of Whitey Marsh (Mickey Rooney), a fiercely defiant, hyper-aggressive street tough who vows to break every rule in the book. Boasting powerhouse, career-defining performances from its two legendary leads, Boys Town is a deeply moving masterpiece of golden-age Hollywood storytelling. Directed by Norman Taurog, this enduring testament to compassion and redemption earned five Academy Award® nominations, including Best Picture—and won Oscars® for its poignant screenplay and for Tracy's unforgettable, heart-wrenching lead performance

Please Don't Eat the Daisies
Kate Mackay (Doris Day) has four boys that someday will lend their names to hurricanes. A monstrosity of a country fixer-upper that needs its lower fixed too. And a poison-pen, drama-critic husband (David Niven) who sees Broadway plays under the worst possible sequences – by being in the audience. Kate hangs in through thick and thicker is this beloved screen comedy adapted from the bestseller by playwright Jean Kerr. Doris brings her trademark radiance to the goings on and lends her sublime vocal talents to the title song and Any Way the Wind Blows. Spouse Niven finds his hawklike critic's eye clouded when a production of a play he wrote decades earlier may bring about his comeuppance. With Janis Paige (Silk Stockings), Spring Byington and Richard Haydn on hand for snappy comic support, Please Don't Eat the Daisies is breezy family fun
Special Features and Technical Specs:
The Great Waltz
Dazzling! Daring? The Great Waltz may have you searching for ways to describe its unique charms. This cinematic rhapsody loosely based on the life of composer Johann Strauss is truly "an overlooked gem" (The Motion Picture Guide). To capture what the film calls "the spirit" of Strauss' music, The Great Waltz combines exquisite craftsmanship with spirited inventiveness. The splendid M-G-M backlot re-creations of Viennese settings range from convivial biergartens to ornate palaces. Dimitri Tiomkin's arrangements of Strauss' incomparable melodies (with lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II) swirl and dive. And Joseph Ruttenberg's Oscar®-winning cinematography glides with bravura artistry. Julien Duvivier (Pepe le Moko) directs radiant performances from two-time Oscar-winner Luise Rainer (The Great Ziegfeld, The Good Earth), Fernand Gravet and Oscar® nominated diva Miliza Korjus. Wonderful? Phenomenal? Choose your own description!
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Marked Woman
No one rats on Johnny Vanning. That's a message delivered to every would-be stoolie when Vanning and his henchmen slash a gangland insignia on Mary Dwight's face. The real-life saga of prostitutes whose testimony put Lucky Luciano behind bars, inspired Marked Woman. Bette Davis, sinking her claws into the role that marked her return to Warner Bros. after her legal fight for better projects, plays Mary. In a rare 1930's good guy turn, Humphrey Bogart co-stars as a crusading prosecutor. Versatile Lloyd Bacon (42nd Street, Knute Rockne-All American) directs this most unusual of Depression-era gangster films settled not on the crime lord or the D.A., but on women victimized by the mob. The film is a hard-hitting showcase for Bette Davis, as it began her ascendancy at Warner Bros. to become the studio's most popular and respected leading lady.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Dear Heart
Like a sailor with a girl in every port, Harry Mack has his own list of people, pulchritude, and places. But that's changing for this roving salesman with a roving eye. After years of "cherchez les femmes," he will "cherchez" no more. He's found the perfect match, a haughty, worldly-wise widow he plans to marry. But Harry's in for a big surprise. A blossoming wallflower named Evie Jackson has found him! With its warm, bittersweet title tune (music by Henry Mancini), a tender, funny script by Tad Mosel (Up the Down Staircase) and top-notch stars under the inspired direction of Oscar®-winner Delbert Mann (Marty), Dear Heart has the kind of magic that wins hearts everywhere. Glenn Ford gives an understanded and outstanding performance as the errant-but-earnest Harry, dutifully engaged to calculated matron Phyllis (Angela Lansbury). And legendary Geraldine Page is Evie, an out-of-towner in New York City for a convention – and embarking on a momentous journey following her wistful heart where it's never gone before. A truly charming showcase with standout performances by Glenn Ford and Geraldine Page.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Bundle of Joy
When Bundle of Joy premiered in 1956, Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher were the cutest young marrieds in Hollywood, the obvious choice to headline the musical remake of one of the great comedies of the 1930's…"Bachelor Mother"(coming soon as a new remastered Blu-ray from the Warner Archive Collection). As the Prince Charming of the piece, Eddie Fisher is endearing, especially when crooning. Reynolds is at her buoyant best responsibly stepping in role originally created by Ginger Rogers, playing a salesgirl who picks up a foundling and is mistaken for its unwed mother, and must keep up the charade to keep her job, Coincidentally, Reynolds discovered she was pregnant just before filming began. In true trooper fashion, she was still hoofing up a storm on the soundstage despite her condition.

Skyscraper Souls
Before Hollywood's censors locked down the silver screen, M-G-M unleashed a racy, scandalous look at the high-stakes world of corporate greed and forbidden desire. At the center of it all is the screen's definitive pre-code scoundrel, Warren William, delivering a masterclass in suave villainy. William stars as David Dwight, a silver-tongued financial wolf who rules Manhattan from the penthouse of his new 100-story Art Deco skyscraper. Dwight will stop at nothing to get what he wants—whether it is full ownership of his towering monument or the virtue of every woman who enters his orbit.
While this fast-paced melodrama bristles with the gritty realism, shocking cynicism, and gold-digging ambition more commonplace in the pre-code films of Warner Bros., Skyscraper Souls infuses that same raw energy with the peerless luxury of the M-G-M house style. The result is a breathtakingly sleek, morally uncompromised thrill ride. Dwight casually ruins investors by day while juggling a sophisticated mistress (Verree Teasdale) and predatory designs on an innocent new secretary (Maureen O'Sullivan) by night. It is a dizzying descent into a world of penthouse seductions, corporate blackmail, and unchecked hedonism that rushes toward a staggering climax.
