ORIGINAL ANNOUNCEMENT:

Universal has announced 4 more titles in their second wave of their Universal Backlot Series: Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves (1944), The Trail of the Lonesome Pine (1936), Lonely Are the Brave (1962) and Beau Geste (1939). The July 7th release date appears to have established about a 3 month release cycle. Much too slow for such an underutilized film library, but still much better than zero!

Except for Beau Geste which was released three years ago as part of the Gary Cooper Franchise Collection, all are new to DVD. Bonus features are slim. The will each retail for 9.98, but are available at ClassicFlix.com for only 4.99.
