George Feltenstein of the Warner Archive joins the podcast to review four classic films released in January for the first time on Blu-ray. We're shining the projector light on the pre-code film "Faithless," (1932) where Tallulah Bankhead's riveting performance will grip you as we unravel the fabric of her character's tumultuous journey from riches to rags. Next, we waltz through the restoration brilliance of "The Prince and the Pauper" starring the charismatic Errol Flynn and the Mauch twins. Then we horse around with the timeless hilarity of the Marx Brothers in "A Day at the Races." We wrap up with the jazzy musical "A Cabin in the Sky," starring Ethel Waters, Eddie Anderson, and Lena Horne, and with appearances by Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong. It's a fantastic start to 2024 for fans of classic films. We provide a review of each film, the restoration, and all of the extras to help you decide if you want to add it to your physical media collection.
