George Feltenstein of the Warner Archive joins the podcast for a fun and informative review of two May Blu-ray releases. We dive into the restoration and all of the extras on each release and share our insights into why these films are worth adding to your Blu-ray collection.
THE BOY WITH GREEN HAIR (1948) tells the supernatural-tinged story of an orphan who finds a safe haven in small-town America until the day his hair turns green. The film is a call for tolerance with an inspiring statement that "different" doesn't mean "threatening." The film boasts a fine cast (Robert Ryan, Pat O'Brien, Dean Stockwell), a popular theme song (Nature Boy) and the feature-film debut of director Joseph Losey (The Servant, The Go-Between).
HEY THERE, IT'S YOGI BEAR (1964) was Hanna-Barbera's first animated theatrical feature film. George provides background on Hannah Barbara studios and gives an update on the status of future Hannah Barbara releases.
