George Feltenstein joins Tim Millard to discuss the Warner Archive's June Blu-ray releases, spanning from 1938 to 1961 and featuring newly restored classics across multiple genres.
• The Citadel (1938) stars Robert Donat as a doctor whose idealism is tested when he moves from a Welsh mining town to wealthy London practice
• A Date with Judy (1948) showcases Jane Powell and Elizabeth Taylor in a vibrant Technicolor musical with restored color that eliminates previous transfer issues
• The Enchanted Cottage (1945) tells the story of a disfigured war veteran and plain young woman whose love transforms how they see each other
• Executive Suite (1954) features an all-star cast including William Holden and Barbara Stanwyck in a corporate drama that remains relevant today
• His Kind of Woman (1951) pairs Robert Mitchum and Jane Russell in a noir that transforms into comedy when Vincent Price's character appears
• Splendor in the Grass (1961) presents Natalie Wood's powerful performance and Warren Beatty's screen debut in Elia Kazan's emotionally raw drama about young love
• All releases feature 4K scans from original camera negatives, with Warner Archive addressing previous transfer issues
• Many releases include period-appropriate shorts, cartoons, radio adaptations, and other special features that enhance the viewing experience
