THE CLOSER: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON

AVAILABLE ON DVD MAY 23, FROM WARNER HOME VIDEO

The Closer, cable television’s most watched television series of the year, is coming to DVD just prior to the start of the highly anticipated second season on TNT. The four-disc collector’s set features all 13 episodes of the critically acclaimed first season as well as 22 minutes of deleted scenes, for $39.98.

SYNOPSIS
An offbeat personality, a tough-as-nails approach, and track record as one of the country’s leading investigators – these are just a few of the traits exhibited by television’s next great detective, Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson. The CIA-trained detective has been brought from Atlanta to Los Angeles to head up the Priority Murder Squad, a special unit of the LAPD that handles sensitive, high-profile murder cases. Brenda is tapped to lead the team because she is a world-class interrogator, and when it comes to obtaining confessions, she is a closer. But her quirky attitude and hard-nosed approach to her job sometimes rub her colleagues the wrong way, as does the fact that she is a tough-minded Southern woman in a department dominated by men.

Tough Guys Collection

Bullets or Ballots ~ Each Dawn I Die ~ G Men ~ San Quentin ~ City for Conquest ~ A Slight Case of Murder

Available on DVD July 18, from Warner Home Video

Six new crime genre classics that make their DVD debuts on July 18. The collection includes Bullets or Ballots, Each Dawn I Die, ‘G’ Men, San Quentin, A Slight Case of Murder, and City for Conquest with the original prologue intact for the first time since the film was released. The collection will be available for $59.92. Each title is available separately for $19.97. All six films have been fully restored and digitally remastered with special features including historian commentaries and new making-of featurettes. Each disc also contains an exclusive “Warner Night at the Movies” segment which recreates moviegoer attractions such as newsreels, comedy shorts, cartoons and trailers from the years each film was released.

Bullets or Ballots (1936)
When Warner Bros.’ Depression-era gangster movies began to draw protests, the studio reinvigorated the genre with stories emphasizing law enforcers instead of lawbreakers. The swift, sturdy Bullets or Ballots reflects that, with Edward G. Robinson (as Blake) siding with the good guys for the first time in a gangland saga. Humphrey Bogart plays the short-fused Fenner. And Joan Blondell and Louise Beavers, in an unusual story element for the times, are thriving numbers operators whose grift is usurped by the mob.

Each Dawn I Die (1939)
Framed for manslaughter after he breaks a story about city corruption, reporter Frank Ross is sure he’ll prove his innocence and walk out of prison a free man. But that’s not how the system works at Rocky Point Penitentiary. There cellblock guards are vicious, the jute-mill labor is endless and the powers Ross fought on the outside conspire to keep him in. Two of the screen’s famed tough guys star in this prison movie that casts a reform-minded eye on the brutalizing effects of life in the slammer. James Cagney “hits a white-hot peak as the embittered, stir-crazy fall guy” (Leonard Maltin’s Movie Guide). And George Raft (Cagney’s friend since their vaudeville days) portrays racketeer hood Stacey, who may hold the key to springing Ross.

‘G’ Men (1935)
In 1931, James Cagney helped jump-start the gangster genre as “The Public Enemy.” In 1935, he wages on-screen war against the nation’s public enemies. Outcries against movies that glorified underworld criminals put Cagney on the side of the law in ‘G’ Men. Emphasis may have changed but elements are the same. ‘G’ Men builds to a fury of bold escapes, siren-wailing pursuits and frenzied shootouts. Here, a punchy hot-off-the-presses account of the pursuit and capture of John Dillinger provides the story inspiration as tough-guy Cagney gives it to ’em good in a movie that’s “fast, gutsy, as simplistic and powerful as a tabloid headline.”

San Quentin (1937)
Do the crime, do the time. But what happens during the long years spent behind the walls of San Quentin? The penitentiary’s new yard captain wants to make those years a time of rehabilitation rather than punishment. But not everyone’s buying it. Humphrey Bogart portrays Red, continuing his climb to stardom in this brisk film that’s one of a string of Depression-era works combining gangster-movie elements with a Big House setting. Studio mainstay Pat O’Brien plays Steve Jameson, whose carrot-and-stick reforms begin to change Red’s thinking. An inmates’ strike and a scripture-quoting con who swipes a rifle are among the troubles Jameson faces. And Red is another as he reverts to his old ways and makes a violent break for freedom.

A Slight Case of Murder (1937)
Prohibition’s ban on booze is over, and that means bootlegger Remy Marco must make some changes. Don’t call his beer-peddling enterprise a racket. It’s now a business. Employees are no longer lugs or palookas, they’re associates. And don’t refer to Marco as da boss. Use sir. He’s gone legit, see? Edward G. Robinson plays Marco, spoofing his Little Caesar persona in a comedy spree based on Damon Runyon and Howard Lindsay’s Broadway play. Lloyd Bacon, director of Robinson’s gangster sendups Brother Orchid and Larceny, Inc., guides with screwball flair as corpses, creditors, the swellest of swells and more mayhem descend on Marco.

City for Conquest (1940)
This heart-tugging melodrama has been restored to its original running time, with its prologue intact for the very first time since the original 1940 theatrical release. Subsequent theatrical reissues, TV and home video versions have always been edited. The movie’s story involves ex-Golden Gloves fighter Danny Kenny, who has it all worked out. He’ll turn pro to bankroll his brother’s dream of writing a symphonic paean to the teeming city where they both live: New York. But life pulls the sidewalk out from under Danny when he’s blinded during a brutal 15-round welterweight title bout. James Cagney stars as Danny, along with co-stars Ann Sheridan, Anthony Quinn, film-debuting Arthur Kennedy and, in a rare acting turn before his directing career, Elia Kazan.

The Film Noir Classic Collection: Volume Three

Border Incident ~ His Kind of Woman ~ Lady in the Lake ~ On Dangerous Ground ~ The Racket

Coming to DVD July 18, from Warner Home Video

The third time’s the charm when Hollywood’s legendary tough guys and femme fatales collide once again in The Film Noir Classic Collection Volume Three. The Collection includes five smoldering suspense thriller classics, all new to DVD: Border Incident, His Kind of Woman, Lady in the Lake, On Dangerous Ground, and The Racket. In addition, available exclusively with the set, will be a bonus documentary -- Film Noir: Bringing Darkness to Light -- a vital companion piece that contains an elucidating overview, complete with clips and expert commentary.

Border Incident (1949)
This steely thriller stars Ricardo Montalban and George Murphy as agents from each side of the Mexico-California border. Their job: catch the thieves, murderers and moneymen who prey on illegal aliens desperate to make a few American dollars sweating as farm laborers. Anthony Mann (Winchester ’73, The Naked Spur) directs, turning his lens to the beauty and the terror of stark desert wastelands. Blending classic film noir with a surprisingly contemporary plot, Border Incident is a relentless, cutting-edge gem of the genre.

BONUS FEATURES
• Commentary by film historian Dana Polan
• Theatrical trailer

His Kind of Woman (1951)
His Kind of Woman is a film-noir fan’s kind of movie: dark, sassy, surprise-filled. Robert Mitchum plays Milner, who finds the romantic stakes raised when he meets a self-proclaimed heiress (Jane Russell, in the role that launched her devoted friendship with Mitchum). The mystery is twisted, the sets are astonishing, the cast is large and talented. But what makes this cult favorite stand apart is Vincent Price’s hilarious turn as a self-absorbed, gun-collecting Hollywood star. Mitch gets the girl. But Price steals the movie.

BONUS FEATURES
• Commentary by film historian Vivian Sobchack

Lady in the Lake (1946)
Robert Montgomery stars in and directs this snappy adaptation of Raymond Chandler’s hardboiled detective mystery. Montgomery portrays Marlowe, private eye. As director, he’s also the film’s private eyes, using a subjective camera presenting the action from Marlowe’s point of view. The case begins when Marlowe sets out to find the missing wife of a publishing magnate. Several smack-arounds, one dead gigolo, a few angry cops, a booze-soaked frame-up and one dame in the lake later, Marlowe finds the killer…and finds he’s looking at the business end of a gun.

BONUS FEATURES
• Commentary by film historians Alain Silver and James Ursini
• Original Theatrical Trailer

On Dangerous Ground (1952)
Jim has seen it all on the city’s shadowy streets: killers, thugs, pimps, sadists. And the experience has cost him his soul. Ironically, his redemption may come in his next case, a brutal murder that brings him into the open sky and white light of the countryside…and into the arms of a beautiful blind woman. Directed with intensity by Nicholas Ray (Rebel Without a Cause) and featuring a haunting score by Bernard Herrmann (Psycho), On Dangerous Ground is a taut, rapid-paced manhunt with two fine stars at its tortured heart. Noir master Robert Ryan captures Jim’s agonized self-hatred. And Ida Lupino burnishes the screen as the sightless angel whose compassion gives him one last chance at life.

BONUS FEATURES
• Commentary by film historian Glenn Erickson
• Original Theatrical Trailer

The Racket (1951)
Nick Scanlon (Robert Ryan) is an old-fashioned kind of gangster. If someone crosses you, settle it with a fist or a bullet. Tom McQuigg (Robert Mitchum) is an old-fashioned kind of cop. Grab the bad guy, not the bribe. But they’re both living in a corrupt new world of smooth operators on both sides of the law, efficient green-eyeshade types who run a crime ring like a corporation. They won’t mind if Scanlon and McQuigg square off… if they bring each other down. Ryan and Mitchum, who co-starred in the groundbreaking Crossfire (part of Warner’s Film Noir Classic Collection Volume 2) reteam for another tense, character-driven, twist-laden film noir.

BONUS FEATURES
• Commentary by film historian Eddie Mueller
• Original Theatrical Trailer

Locked up on Red Dwarf’s prison deck, the crew joins the Canaries – a battle hardened convict army and not, as they first thought, the prison choir. Price: $44.98
