Cohen Media has announced a September 27th release date for the Blu-Ray debuts of two Douglas Sirk films: 1946's A Scandal in Paris and 1947's Lured on a 2-disc set.

Kino previously released both Lured in 2000 and A Scandal in Paris in 2003.

Special features include audio commentary for each film.

A Scandal in Paris (1946)
From the memoirs of François Eugène Vidocq, the elegant thief turned chief of police of all Paris, comes this rediscovered classic of melodrama and romance.

George Sanders is at his debonair best as we see him climb from clever criminal through the ranks of French society in the early 1800's, with seemingly nothing to stop him from the biggest heist of his career...except, perhaps, the charms of a young lady.

BONUS FEATURE:

• Audio commentary by Wade Major

Lured (1946)
Before he revolutionized the women's film with such gleefully melodramatic works as Written on the Wind and Magnigicent Obsession, director Douglas Sirk made a series of glossy thrillers flavored by European settings (shortly after his emigration to the U.S. from Germany).

Like the films for which he would become famous, Lured revels in the glamour and romance that Hollywood had honed to perfection, and plays every scene -- every coy glance, every deadly encounter -- the melodramatic hilt.

In Lured, a serial killer terrorized London, trapping his prey through personal ads in the newspaper and taunting the police with gruesome poems. A Scotland Yard detective (Charles Coburn) enlists the aid of a feisty American redhead (a truly captivating Lucille Ball) to draw the murderer into the dragnet, and leads her across the paths of a variety of peculiar suspects -- including a demented clothing designer (Boris Karloff) and an international playboy (George Sanders) -- all of whom seem to have designs on the Yard's most delectable decoy.
