FOOTLIGHT PARADE (1933) New 2019 1080p HD Master
BRONCO BILLY (1980) New 2019 1080p HD Master
Clint Eastwood was well on the way of his extraordinary journey from screen icon to cinema auteur when he helmed this quirky character drama about a ragtag band of Wild West showmen led by the titular Bronco Billy (Eastwood). A fateful encounter with Antoinette (Sondra Locke), a spectacularly down-on-her-luck heiress, leads to a new member of team and a marked change in their fortunes. Eastwood pokes fun at his screen persona while delivering a moving and heartfelt paean to the power of personal imagination and American re-invention. Reinvigorated on this hue-riffic Blu-ray thanks to a brand new HD master, Bronco Billy arrives with all the shading and grain of proper early Eighties film stock, ready to make a bullseye in your memories. 16×9 Widescreen

BEST OF PETE SMITH’S SPECIALTIES VOL. 1 (1936-48) Now on DVD
Studio-publicist-turned-producer Pete Smith catapulted to national fame as a narrator for the MGM short subjects created under his aegis such as the “Dogville” comedies. Recognizing that Smith was now a name in comedy in his own right, the Pete Smith Specialty series was launched and over the next two decades, Smith lent his signature arch comedic tone to short subjects that ranged from “Animal Antics,” to home life advice from the LA Examiner’s Penny Prudence, to “Football Thrills” and “What’s Your I.Q.?” quiz shows, and even the occasional, more sober “Serious Topics”. This 4-disc collection of 75 Pete Smith Specialty shorts includes the Oscar®-winning Penny Wisdom.
