HUCKLEBERRY FINN (1931) - New on Blu-ray

BUY FROM AMAZON

Product Description: Jackie Coogan (Charlie Chaplin’s The Kid), Mitzi Green, and Junior Durkin star in this under-seen 1931 film version of Mark Twain’s classic novel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Tom Sawyer’s (Coogan) puppy love of Becky Thatcher (Green) keeps him home, while Huck Finn (Durkin), sick of “civilizing” influences like school and shoes, plans to run away. Tom and Jim (Clarence Muse, Hearts in Dixie) help him escape, and all three raft down the Mississippi, where they’re joined by two likable con men and meet pretty orphans Ella and Mary Jane (Charlotte Henry, Alice in Wonderland). The latter may change Huck’s mind about girls! Directed by Norman Taurog (Boys Town, G.I. Blues), this cheerful adaptation was made as a follow-up to Paramount’s Tom Sawyer, which had been released a year earlier with the same main cast and became the top-grossing film of 1930.

THAT MIDNIGHT KISS (1949) - Blu-ray Release of Romantic Musical Starring Kathryn Grayson, Jose Iturbi, Ethel Barrymore and Mario Lanza

BUY FROM AMAZON

Product Description: Aspiring diva Prudence Budell (Kathryn Grayson) knew what she wanted in a singing partner… and she found it on the street! Mario Lanza, already a recording sensation in 1949, made his screen debut in this glowing box-office success. As singing truck driver Johnny Donnetti, the broad-shouldered tenor proved he could handle lines with ease and warmth. And he amply showcased what everyone already knew – he could belt out a song (highlights include Donizetti’s “Una Furtiva Lagrima” and Verdi’s “Celeste Aida”). Grayson, who had a lifelong ambition to perform on the operatic stage, graced Verdi’s “Caro Nome” with her bright coloratura. And, in his final movie, Jose Iturbi teamed with his sister for Chopin’s stirring “Revolutionary Etude.”
