From Broadway to Black Rock




Warner Archive Podcast show

Summary: It's a Blu-ray Bonanza with three films coming to HD with sparkling new 1080p masters. First up, Spencer Tracy stars as the one-armed stranger in John Sturges' stark and sweeping Noir/Western/Social Commentary film Bad Day at Black Rock (1955). Reprising her Tony-winning Broadway role, Judy Holliday plays an answering service operator in the 1960 musical Bells are Ringing co-starring Dean Martin. Audrey Hepburn brings all her formidable skills to bear in the suspense classic Wait Until Dark (1967). Then we move on to five WB rarities presented for the first time on DVD including the frothy comedy Easy to Love (1934) with Mary Astor, the scandalous romance of Desirable (1934) with George Brent, the sensitive, underplayed and compelling character study Journal of a Crime (1934) with Ruth Chatterton and Adolphe Menjou, the fast-paced rouser Red Hot Tires (1935) with and finally Errol Flynn delivers up one of his best dark dramatic performances in Silver River (1948), the tale of a good man gone bad.
