Warner Archive has announced that it will add five new titles to its Blu-ray catalog. They are Judgment Night (1993), The Prize (1963), The Giant Behemoth (1959), Tarzan Goes to India (1962), and Tarzan's Three Wishes (1963). The five releases are expected to be available for purchase in January.

Judgment Night

Synopsis: Noted producer/director Stephen Hopkins (The Life and Death of Peter Sellers, 24, Predator 2) navigates this harrowing journey of four suburban men into the nightmarish neighborhood of Chicago's crime-infested underworld. When four young men (Emilio Estevez; Cuba Gooding, Jr.; Stephen Dorff; Jeremy Piven) take a wrong turn on their way to a boxing match in a state-of-the-art RV, they witness a murder. Now, the killers' leader (Denis Leary) cannot let them live, and the four must find their way to safety while being hunted through Chicago's meanest streets. With a powerhouse cast, this edge-of-your-seat thriller takes viewers on a life-and-death road trip into terror.

The Prize

Synopsis: Top writers, scientists and leaders converge annually on Stockholm to take part in the awarding of the prestigious Nobel Prizes. This year, however, some honorees will find the great event eclipsed by a greater challenge: staying alive. Paul Newman is up to his famed baby blues in danger and intrigue as Andrew Craig, a hard-drinking author and Nobel winner for literature. At first dismissive of the award and only interested in the cash it brings, Craig finds his writerly instincts and wit sharpened when he senses the physics prize winner (Edward G. Robinson) is an impostor. He sets out to expose the hoax, free-falling into a Cold War ploy of secrets, pursuits, subterfuge and assassins adapted for the screen (from Irving Wallace's best seller) with spice and wit by Ernest Lehman (North by Northwest, Sweet Smell of Success).

The Giant Behemoth

Synopsis: As in his classic The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, director Eugene Lourie plunges us into a thrilling stomping ground, unleashing another Thunder Lizard to stomp on everything in sight. Alarming levels of radiation have infused the water, plants, and skies, and a radiated paleosaurus rises from the ocean depths. In its path: London. In its arsenal: a strength to topple buildings (King Kong's Willis O'Brien contributes rampaging stop-motion effects), a stride that flattens cars, a flesh-searing radioactive ray and a ticked-off attitude. Left in ruins on land, humankind takes the fight to the beast's undersea realm, where a two-man submarine crew must ensure the torpedo they fire is dead-on. The first chance is all anyone gets with The Giant Behemoth.

Tarzan Goes To India

Synopsis: No need to land the plane when Tarzan flies to India. Just fly over an inland lake and the loin-clothed hero will leap into its blue depths! Jock Mahoney, who two years earlier portrayed Tarzan's foe in Tarzan the Magnificent, makes his splashy debut as Tarzan in this tale about the Ape-Man's rescue of elephants who will be doomed when a newly built dam unleashes its waters. John Guillermin (Tarzan's Greatest Adventure, The Towering Inferno) directs, combining colorful subcontinent locales with battles large and thunderous (massive bull elephants), small and fierce (cobra versus mongoose), cunning and treacherous (Tarzan against human foes). No matter where the jungle, there is but one jungle lord!

Tarzan's Three Challenges

Synopsis: "No stranger from Africa can turn the course of our destiny." But never underestimate a stranger named Tarzan (Jock Mahoney). Over miles and obstacles, he will lead a young heir to Thailand's spiritual throne to his ordination and undo warlord Khan's (Woody Strode) plot to secure the title for his son. First however, the Ape-Man must prove to the heir that he is Tarzan by passing tests of skill, strength and wisdom. Ahead lies a still greater challenge: Tarzan vs. Khan in a bungee-jumping, sword-clanging, flame-dancing death duel! This second and last of Mahoney's Tarzans (filmed to colorful effect in Thailand) was not without real-life challenges: Illness caused Mahoney to lose 40 pounds from his taut, athletic frame.

Nothing there for me this time. I did see those Tarzan's at the cinema, but I've no wish to see them again, if fact I can't remember a thing about them, & I haven't seen the other films, but Warner are really banging them out, & I'm sure they'll be some great stuff released next year.

Let's hope "The Giant Behemoth" is an improvement over the poor audio that was on the film when they played it on A.M.C..

Warner Archive has announced that it will add ning new titles to its Blu-ray catalog in November: The World, the Flesh and the Devil (1959), The Bad and the Beautiful (1952), Great Day in the Morning (1956), Operation Crossbow (1965), The 100: The Complete Fifth Season, The Kominsky Method: The Complete First Season, Young Justice: Outsiders (2019), Blindspot: The Complete Fourth Season, and Teen Titans: The Compete Series (2003-2006).

Operation Crossbow

Synopsis: A fearsome rumor reaches Britain's World War II command. The Nazis are developing rocket technology that could rain death on London and then New York. Quickly, England develops a plan to send saboteurs into the sites manufacturing the rockets. Just moments after the carefully chosen commandos parachute into the drop zone, their pilot receives an urgent message: The mission may be compromised. Abort. Operation Crossbow is the partly fact-based tale of how that team succeeded against daunting odds. Michael Anderson (The Dam Busters, Logan's Run) directs, guiding a huge cast in a film that builds to a spectacular finale, yet never neglects war's unsparing personal costs. As a record of a wartime espionage incursion and as an intrigue-filled thriller, Operation Crossbow is on both counts Operation Accomplished.

Special Features and Technical Specs:
BRAND NEW REMASTER OF THE FILM
Vintage Featurette "A Look Back at Crossbow"

Optional English SDH subtitles for the main feature
The Bad and the Beautiful

Synopsis: Appearances are everything in Hollywood. So, when conniving moviemaker Jonathan Shields realizes few mourners will show up for the funeral of his equally conniving father, he knows what to do: hire extras. Kirk Douglas gives a magnetic, Oscar®-nominated performance as Shields, who turns talent, charisma and ruthlessness into film success, stomping on careers and creating enemies along the way. Vincente Minnelli directs this winner of five Academy Awards® that's more than a compelling insider's look at Tinseltown: It's an opportunity for buffs to guess which real-life stars and moguls inspired the roles played by Douglas, Lana Turner, Walter Pidgeon, Dick Powell, Best Supporting Actress Gloria Grahame and more.

Special Features and Technical Specs:
BRAND NEW 4K RESTORATION FROM THE ORIGINAL CAMERA NEGATIVE
Feature Length Documentary "Lana Turner...A Daughter's Memoir"
Scoring Session Music Cues
Theatrical Trailer (HD)
Optional English SDH subtitles for the main feature
Great Day in the Morning

Synopsis: The young town of Denver, CO, right before the outbreak of the Civil War, is the setting for this Western drama from acclaimed director Jacques Tourneur (Out of the Past, Stars in My Crown). Recently rescued from an Indian ambush, laconic Southern loner Owen Pentecost (Robert Stack) rides into town and into the hearts of saloon girl Boston (Ruth Roman) and frontier entrepreneur Ann Merry (a pants-wearing and liberated Virginia Mayo). With Boston's aid, Owen wins the deed to the local saloon in a card game against its menacing cardcheat owner, the aptly named Jumbo Means (Raymond Burr). With secession causing tensions to rise between Denver's Northerner majority and Southerner minority, Owen is pressured to support his Confederate brothers, but he remains firmly committed to his one true cause – gold! And there's two million dollars' worth of it that needs to be smuggled out before the start of the war!

Special Features and Technical Specs:
Jacques Tourneur MGM shorts
The Ship That Died
Strange Glory
The Face Behind the Mask
The Magic Alphabet
Optional English SDH subtitles for the main feature
The World, the Flesh and the Devil

Synopsis: "Millions Flee from Cities! End of the World!" From a Manhattan skyscraper, Ralph Burton (Harry Belafonte) surveys the emptiness announced by that chilling newspaper headline. Nuclear doomsday has come. Ralph is sure he is the last person alive. Then, a woman (Inger Stevens) appears and the two form a cautious friendship that's threatened when a third survivor (Mel Ferrer) arrives. Unlike other postapocalyptic thrillers, from The Time Machine to I Am Legend, there are no external monsters to battle here. Instead, the monsters – fear, intolerance, jealousy – lurk inside the all-too human beings. And heightening the intensity of writer/director Ranald MacDougall's suspenseful and unsettling movie are stunning vistas of unpopulated New York: vast, empty and soulless.

Yeah, really looking forward to one of the best films of the fifties, The Bad & The Beautiful, esp as it's a new 4K scan of the original cut negatives. Over at the movie site HTF, ace movie restorer Robert Harris (who's obviously seen it) said, "This release is beyond gorgeous".
