Film Masters Looks To June 25 For The DVD And Blu-ray Release Of Backwoods Double-Feature Teaming Common Law Wife With Jennie, Wife/Child

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey, @dvdblurayreport
Film Masters takes us down a country road on June 25 for some sinful delights with the release of Backwoods Double-Feature (on both DVD and Blu-ray), top-lining Common Law Wife, which is teamed with Jennie, Wife/Child.

Not all movies released theatrically are destined for Oscar consideration.   Others can gain their “award-winning” status by virtue of being entertaining for, perhaps, all the wrong reasons.   Remember Reefer Madness?   Cocaine Fiends ring any bells? 

That’s what “director” Larry Buchanan accomplished with Common Law Wife.   The story goes that Buchanan, who had been on the fringes of Hollywood with acting gigs and some studio work, moved back to Texas and used those talents to make religious and “industrial” films … and the “educational” film, Common Law Wife.  

That was finished in 1961, but then dropped out of sight.   It’s a little murky, but at some point additional footage was shot (with different actors in the same role) and the narrative was shifted to exploitive in nature.   Contemporary reviews called the “new” Common Law Wife confusing and very bad — that’s the key, “very bad” — but entertaining.   

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey, @dvdblurayreport
The film resurfaced in May of 1963 with limited 35mm prints.   For an entire year it was “bicycled” from one area of the country to the next and was a box office success.   There was no stopping Buchanan after this … 28 additional films followed over the next 20 years, including the likes of Naughty Dallas, Attack of the Eye Creatures, Zontar: The Thing from Venus, Curse of the Swamp Creature and Mars Needs Women.  

 Bonus features with Common Law Wife (restored from the original 35mm print) include the Ballyhoo Motion Pictures documentary titled That’s Hicksploitation: The Origin of Southern Sinema and a vintage commentary with Buchanan, film historian Nathaniel Thompson and “I Saw What You Did” podcaster Millie De Chirico. 

There’s also a newly-prepared commentary featuring TCM programmer Ben Cheaves.

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey, @dvdblurayreport
The other half of the Backwoods Double-Feature double feature is writer/director James Landis’ 1968 delight Jennie, Wife/Child, which also made the rounds as Albert Peckingpaw’s Revenge.   This in a new 4K scan from 35mm archival elements.

The film was originally shot in 1965 as Tender Grass, but was either never finished or never released.   Enter Robert Carl Cohen who finished the film, but his further involvement is in doubt.

Jack Lester (The Road Hustlers, The Incredible 2-Headed Transplant, Deadwood ’76) stars as Albert Peckingpaw, who marries the much younger, Jennie (Beverly Lunsford — The Crawling Hand, The Intruder), but it doesn’t work.   Albert plans to murder her and his cheating farmhand, but instead falls in love with Lulu Belle (played by Virginia Wood — Lady in Cement) and the film has a happy ending.

TCM programmer Ben Cheaves provides commentary on Jennie: Wife/Child.

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey, @dvdblurayreport
MVD Entertainment Group will be teaming up with Manhaton Records/V-12 on May 17 for the Blu-ray and DVD release of Robin Trower in Concert with Sari Schorr.

Rock legend Robin Trower — of Procol Harum fame — and long-time solo artist was approached by Alan Robinson, his manager (Manhaton Records) with a request … could you write a song or two for blues/rock artist Sari Schorr.   That requested ended up being Trower’s latest album, “Joyful Sky” (his 27th album … plus eight more with Procol Harum).   The album dropped in October of last year.

To celebrate, Trower did something that he does rarely, produce a video recording of one his live concerts.   This took place in the UK at the Harlington Arts Centre, Fleet, Surrey in September of last year just before “Joyful Sky” was released.

On stage with Sari Schorr, the duo deliver a 12-song set, including eight numbers from the “Joyful Sky” album, plus four Trower classic recordings — “No More Worlds to Conquer” (2022), “Day of the Eagle” (1974), “Bridge of Sighs” (1974) and “Rise Up Like the Sun” (1994).

Bonus features with the DVD and Blu-ray release of Robin Trower in Concert with Sari Schorr from MVD Entertainment Group on May 17 include video sessions with both Robin Trower and Sari Schorr.

Director Jesse Palangio's Sci-Fi Thriller Blood And Snow Arrives On Blu-ray And DVD From Cleopatra Entertainment On June 11

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey, @dvdblurayreport
Cleopatra Entertainment, with sales and distribution expertise provided by MVD Entertainment Group, announced this past week that director Jesse Palangio’s sci-fi thriller, Blood and Snow, will be available on June 11 as both DVD and Blu-ray product offerings.

A meteorite has slammed into the vast Arctic reaches of northern Canada and two scientists, including one by the name of Megan (Brooke Chamberlain — The Dunes, My Reprisal, Daddy’s Little Girl), are dispatched to investigate the crash site.

A “tragic” accident occurs and only Megan is able to make it back to a remote research facility where she is given medical aid.

What we have here is your classic “haunted house” thriller.   This requires a remote location, not necessarily a spooky haunted house, a far-from-civilization research facility will do nicely.   And the other element, besides the crazed killer, monster or alien being, is a victim pool, which, in this case, takes the form of the researchers at the remote lab.

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey, @dvdblurayreport
Included in the group are the “Professor,” played by Vernon Wells (I Can, Ghost, Transmission), a husband and wife team (Adam Huel Potter and Brianna Ripley) and others, including Simon Phillips (who also co-wrote the script), Michael Swatton and Anne-Carolyne Binette.

It doesn’t take long before the “victim” pool discovers that their guest, Megan, has been “infected” by an alien being with a murderous disposition.   It’s not that she is a grunting beast, but rather calm and cunning … one asks, “Who are you?”   The reply by Megan, “The first,” followed by a pause … “of many.”   Chills!

Will the “final girl” be Megan?   To find out who lives and who dies be sure to check out Blood and Snow on June 11 when it arrives as both DVD and Blu-ray viewing selections from Cleopatra Entertainment.

Mill Creek Entertainment Tabs May 21 As The Blu-ray Debut Date For Director Rick Bieber's Dead Wrong

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey, @dvdblurayreport
Mill Creek Entertainment has tabbed May 21 as the Blu-ray debut date for director Rick Bieber’s film adaptation of K.E Clark's novel “Deadly Instinct,” which has been retitled for the screen as Dead Wrong.

What could possibly go wrong with a plan concocted by a less-than-faithful husband by the name of Billy Evans (Derek Smith — as Kevin in the What/If mini-series) to have his newborn son kidnapped from the local hospital?   

His wife, Barbara (Katrina Bowden — Great White, Scary Movie V, Love on the Slopes) is about ready to pop, which should be a happy time, but Billy sees it as nothing more than the perfect opportunity to cash in.   Besides, he sleeping with Barbara’s sister Wendy (Chelsea Debo) and a kid would just mess that arrangement up.

The elements of the crime involve a seedy attorney, Ethan Boggs (a nice turn by Rob Schneider) — who is deep in debt to bookmaker Rollie Barnes (Joshua Bitton) — Jacob (Blake Shields) and Sarah Glass (Rosalie Ward) (whose role in the scheme we will deliberately leave out of the discussion) and Billy’s lifelong friend, Jacko (Chet Hanks).   

Billy in envious of Jacko’s luxury lifestyle, which just happens to be financed by his criminal enterprises (hello, mobster, with violent associates), so he’s going to play catch-up by setting up a kidnapping, which is followed by a shakedown.   

Let’s see, criminal enterprises, bookmaking, sexual intrigue, seedy attorney … oh yes, one more Drake (Cress Williams), the insurance investigator assigned to the case, who may or may not have “plans” of his own.   So many involved, with so many motives of their own … indeed, what could possibly go wrong?

Any guesses on the body count?   Find out if you picked the correct number on May 21 when Mill Creek Entertainment delivers the Blu-ray edition of K.E. Clark’s popular crime thriller, Dead Wrong.

The Criterion Collection Reveals Its July Release Slate Toplined By 4K Ultra HD Editions Peckinpah's Pat Garrett And Billy The Kid (July 2) And Writer/Director Paul Brickman's Risky Business (July 23)

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey, @dvdblurayreport
The Criterion Collection announced its July slate of film restorations this past week.   Bookending the month of July are director Sam Peckinpah’s Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid (July 2) and the Tom Cruise breakout film from 1983, writer/director Paul Brickman’s Risky Business (July 23).

You can’t talk about Peckinpah’s Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid without mentioning James Aubrey, the gun-for-hire head of MGM at the time (brought in by Kirk Kerkorian to burn the studio down), who fancied himself the god of all-things film (a former CBS executive, which is where he should have stayed … except he was fired by CBS). 

The filming of Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid was nothing but a nightmare as Aubrey interfered with Peckinpah time and again.  To add insult to injury, the moment the final cut had been made and the “invitational” screenings had taken place, Aubrey seized Peckinpah’s work and began the process of having it re-cut.

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey, @dvdblurayreport
In what could be described as something of a “Hollywood” heist, before Peckinpah’s original version of the film could be destroyed by Aubrey, one of the film’s editors — and several accomplices — spirited the print out of the studio.  It did not surface again until 1986.

Criterion is presenting three different versions of Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid in this double-disc 4K Ultra HD/double-disc Blu-ray Combo Pack release on July 2.
There’s a 4K restoration of the original theatrical cut, a 2K restoration of the “stolen” preview print and finally a 4K restoration of the 50th Anniversary release.   

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey, @dvdblurayreport
Bonus features include commentary by film editors Paul Seydor and Roger Spottiswoode, who are joined by film critic Michael Sragow, plus there’s an archived video session with James Coburn, a new featurette titled “Dylan in Durango” and documentary filmmaker Mike Siegel’s 2005 feature length film titled Passion and Poetry.

At the other end of the month of July (the 23rd), Criterion will be streeting a new 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray Combo Pack edition of writer/director Paul Brickman’s Risky Business, starring Tom Cruise and Rebecca De Mornay.

There are two new 4K film restorations in play here.   The first is the original theatrical cut of the film, while the second is a “director’s cut.”

It was a modest ten-week film production schedule for this teen hijinks comedy, but the final product ended up being so much more than a modest teen hijinks comedy.   After this film, Tom Cruise was on his way.

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey, @dvdblurayreport
Bonus goodies include a vintage commentary by Brickman and Cruise, who are joined by producer Jon Avnet, screen tests for Cruise and De Mornay, a collection of video sessions titled “The Dream is Always the Same: The Story of Risky Business,” and newly-prepared video sessions with Avnet, casting director Nancy Klopper, editor Richard Crew and film historian Bobbie O’Steen.

Also on the release calendar in July are French filmmaker Jean-Pierre Melville’s Le Samourai (4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray Combo Pack on July 9); a full spread launch of director Wim Wenders’ Perfect Days (July 16, DVD, Blu-ray and 4K selections); director Glauber Rocha’s Black God, White Devil (July 16 — DVD and Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack editions) and director Chen Kaige’s Farewell My Concubine arrives on July 23 as both Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray purchasing options.

Sony Pictures Home Entertainment Selects June 25 For The 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray Combo Pack Release Of Director Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey, @dvdblurayreport
Sony Pictures Home Entertainment will be delivering a 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray Combo Pack edition of auteur filmmaker Martin Scorsese’s 1976 landmark film, Taxi Driver, to the collector and film fan marketplace on June 25.

The 4K film restoration is from the original camera negative.

Paul Schrader (Rolling Thunder, Obsession, American Gigolo, Raging Bull, City Hall, etc.) wrote the script for Taxi Driver when he was just starting out in 1973 and to his surprise and good luck it was optioned by the husband/wife producing team of Julia and Michael Phillips in 1973, the same year that their production of The Sting (which won them the Oscar for Best Picture) hit theatres.

Despite that success, it took until the summer of 1975 to get the film into production, and at that, the reported production budget was modest at just under $2 million.   

During the run-up to the actual filming of Taxi Driver, Brian De Palma (a friend of both Scorsese and Schrader) was talked about as the director and at one point a rival studio to Columbia Pictures was willing to provide the production money if Robert De Niro was replaced by Jeff Bridges.   Scorsese was having none of that after having worked with De Niro on Mean Streets.   

And, speaking of how studios work (at least back then), Columbia was busy promoting the career of The Last Picture Show star Cybill Shepherd, so she was cast as the female lead … however, 13-year-old Jodie Foster — who was put though all sorts of hoops to jump through because of her age during pre-production — ended up stealing the show with her performance.   Ditto for Harvey Keitel, a Scorsese regular at the time, who gave a memorial performance as “Sport!”

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey, @dvdblurayreport
Despite all of the hassles in getting the film from script to screen, Taxi Driver was a hit theatrically when it opened in February of 1976 and would go on to garner Oscar nominations for Best Picture (losing out to Rocky), Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress and Best Original Score.

Bonus features included on the 4K disc include a “Making Taxi Driver” documentary and Martin Scorsese’s introduction to the “Storyboard to Film Comparisons” featurette.

The companion Blu-ray disc features two vintage commentary options — one with Scorsese and Schrader (provided by Criterion) and the second teaming film historian Prof. Robert Kolker with Schrader — the 2016 Q&A with De Niro, Foster and Scorsese and seven archived featurettes — “Martin Scorsese on Taxi Driver,” “Influence and Appreciation: A Martin Scorsese Tribute,” “Producing Taxi Driver,” “God’s Lonely Man,” “Taxi Driver Stories,” “Travis’ New York” and Travis’ New York Locations.”
