We're peeling back the curtain on Warner Archive's March releases, with a special nod to the unexpected Blu-ray revival of the classic TV Western "Colt .45." Next we review the John Ford and John Wayne western "3 Godfathers" (1948) and its redemption story for the outlaws. Three modern classics are next, with the timely "The Little Drummer Girl," (1984), the inspiring "Stand and Deliver," (1988), and the action-comedy "Money Talks" (1997). We jump back to the 1920s with a review of the delightful silent double feature "The Boob/Why Be Good" and a hint at future silent film releases. We wrap up with director Raoul Walsh's "They Drive By Night" (1940), which is loaded with terrific performances by classic Hollywood favorites George Raft, Humphrey Bogart, Ann Sheridan, and Ida Lupino. We provide a review of each film, the restoration, and all of the extras to help you decide if you want to add it to your physical media collection.
