Sorry, no Ballard. :)

From DVD Times:

Kings Row (1942)
It's a quaint turn-of-the-century small town with shady streets, swimming holes and the clip-clop of horse and buggy. But that peaceful exterior conceals human lives twisted by cruelty, murder and madness. Kings Row is one of Warner Bros.' most distinguished productions, highlighted by an outstanding cast, haunting James Wong Howe cinematography and a somber, emotion-laden Erich Wolfgang Korngold score. Oomph Girl Ann Sheridan, Robert Cummings, Betty Field, Claude Rains and Charles Coburn give indelible performances – and Ronald Reagan's portrayal of Drake, a cheerful ne'er-do-well shattered by tragedy, has been hailed as a career high. Nominated for 3 Academy Awards including Best Picture, Kings Row is a powerful American saga of dreams, despair and triumph.

Features include:

* Oscar® -nominated short United States Marine Band
* Classic cartoon Fox Pop
* Theatrical trailer
* Subtitles: English, Français & Español (feature film only)


Knute Rockne All-American (1940)

As always, great artwork.

Also looking forward to King's Row... it's a shame people forget Korngold wrote the theme song to Star Wars.

This should be a big seller in Red States and Wal-Marts everywhere.

3 titles from the signature boxset, plus 5 other films. Strange to get if you already have the signature set, but nice to see Warner putting out classic films with extras again, even if its a reissue.

Have all these titles been released before on DVD? Or are any new?

Warner isn't really releasing anything new here: Desperate Journey was in the Errol Flynn Spotlight set, This is the Army in the Homefront Collection, Dark Victory in the first Bette Davis Collection, and the other five in the Reagan Signature Collection.

I like the fake presidential seal on the cover--classy touch.

Squandered opportunity to rescue Juke Girl from Archive Hell-- and it'd shock all the righties clean out of their Snuggies
