Garv’s Pick of the Week: Christmas in July (Kino Lorber)
For the release week of November 26th:
Garv’s Pick of the Week: Christmas in July [Blu-ray / Kino Lorber]: Any time a Preston Sturges film is released on Blu-ray, it will be my “Pick of the Week.” The sophomore directorial effort by the wittiest screenwriter in Hollywood history is a delight, and the new Blu-ray from a fresh 4K scan looks fantastic.

Additional Titles of Interest —
All About Eve [Blu-ray / Criterion]: It’s Bette Davis week in the Criterion Collection. First up is this classic catty story of backstage backstabbing.
Now, Voyager [Blu-ray / Criterion]: Get out your tissues, because Bette Davis is also featured in this 1942 weepy.
The Bells of St. Mary’s [Blu-ray / Olive Signature]: Bing dons the clerical dog collar again for this sequel to Going My Way.
Great Day in the Morning [Blu-ray / Warner Archive]: Director Jacques Tourneur helmed this Western the year before Night of the Demon.
Dracula [Blu-ray / Scream Factory]: Frank Langella’s 1979 take on the titular bloodsucker gets a Scream Factory special edition, providing two different versions — full color and desaturated.
The Nude Bomb [Blu-ray / Kino Lorber]: Would you believe they released a 1980 movie version of Get Smart without Barbara Feldon? Check out 1989’s Get Smart, Again! for a better reunion movie (which re-teams Don Adams with Barbara Feldon, Bernie Koppel, Dick Gautier, and others from the original cast).
