Living on the tattered fringe of society, these two outcasts develop an unlikely bond, one that transcends their broken dreams.

Kino Studio Classics Reveals June Lineup Including Works From Nicole Kidman, Audrey Hepburn & More
Kino Lorber Studio Classics and Kino Cult have unveiled the details of their June 2025 4K UHD and Blu-Ray releases including works from such icons as Nicole Kidman, Audrey Hepburn, Humphrey Bogart, George Clooney, Warren Beatty, and more. Get all the details on this incredibly packed lineup below: AUDIE MURPHY COLLECTION V Street Date: 6/10/25 Synopsis: This collection features three rousing westerns starring American hero Audie Murphy. Walk the Proud Land (1956) – His Faith Built a Fortress in a Wilderness of Hate! Audie Murphy (Posse from Hell), the most highly decorated soldier in U.S. history, aptly portrays a 'very special hero and the central figure in one of the most interesting stories of the American frontier' (The Hollywood Reporter). Appointed as an Apache Agent in 1874 by the Department of the Interior at the age of 23, John Philip Clum (Murphy) is sent to a reservation in San Carlos, Arizona, to take over the Army's position. After trying to empower and teach self-governing principles to the Apaches, he is faced with opposition not only from the Native Americans but also from the men in charge of the Army troops. Helmed by Murphy's frequent director Jesse Hibbs (To Hell and Back, Ride a Crooked Trail) in gorgeous Technicolor and CinemaScope; and with a cast featuring the legend Anne Bancroft (The Restless Breed) as Clum's housekeeper and ally, Pat Crowley (The Square Jungle) as his wary new bride, and Jay Silverheels (The Lone Ranger) as the great Geronimo. Seven Ways from Sundown (1960) – He stalked him…fought him…befriended him…but in the end he knew he'd have to kill him! Audie Murphy (Hell Bent for Leather) is Seven Jones, a Texas Ranger so green he doesn't even know how to use a six-shooter, and his first assignment is to accompany the veteran Sergeant Hennessey (John McIntire, Apache) on a mission to capture the notorious gunslinger Jim Flood (Barry Sullivan, Forty Guns). Despite his inexperience Jones manages to capture Flood—and the two form an unlikely friendship as they encounter vicious bounty hunters and vengeful locals on the rugged journey to the jailhouse. This whip-smart western written by Clair Huffaker (Posse from Hell) has some surprises from the cunning Flood that will push the newfound skills of Jones to their limits. Directed in blazing color by Harry Keller (Quantez) and featuring Venetia Stevenson (Day of the Outlaw) and Kenneth Tobey (Gunfight at the O.K. Corral). Bullet for a Badman (1964) – He had to kill or be killed . . . as he fought the deadliest duel in frontier history! Once a Texas Ranger, now a hunted killer, Sam Ward (Darren McGavin, TV's Kolchak: The Night Stalker) is on a warpath for vengeance and he has his ex-partner Logan Keliher (Audie Murphy, No Name on the Bullet) dead in his sights. Married to Ward's ex-wife Susan (Beverley Owen, TV's The Munsters) and stepfather to his son, Keliher is a man of honor—a retired ranger, forced to face off against his former brother-in-arms. But when the two men are attacked by Apaches, they must join together to survive against incredible odds. Bullet for a Badman is a terrific tale of gritty frontier redemption where friends can turn deadly enemies in the wink of an eye and the quick-draw of a six-gun. Directed by R.G. Springsteen (Showdown) and co-starring Ruta Lee (Seven Brides for Seven Brothers), Skip Homeier (The Tall T), George Tobias (Rawhide) and Alan Hale Jr. (Destry). Bonus Features: NEW Audio Commentary for WALK THE PROUD LAND by Film Historian/Screenwriter Gary Gerani | NEW Audio Commentaries for SEVEN WAYS FROM SUNDOWN and BULLET FOR A BADMAN by Western Film Historian Toby Roan | Theatrical Trailers (All 3 Newly Mastered in 2K) | Optional English Subtitles SABRINA (4K UHD BLU-RAY) Street Date: 6/17/25 Synopsis: Hollywood legends Humphrey Bogart ( The African Queen ), William Holden ( Stalag 17 ) and Audrey Hepburn ( Roman Holiday ) star in this classic Cinderella story directed by the brilliant Billy Wilder ( Sunset Boulevard , Some Like It Hot , The Apartment ). Bogie and Holden are the mega-rich Larrabee brothers of Long Island. Bogie's all work, Holden's all playboy. But when Sabrina, daughter of the family's chauffeur, returns from a stay in Paris all grown up and glamorous, the stage is set for some family fireworks as the brothers fall under the spell of Hepburn's delightful charms. Sabrina scored 6 Academy Award nominations for the year 1954, including Best Actress for Hepburn, Best Director for Wilder, Best Screenplay for Wilder with Ernest Lehman ( North by Northwest ) and Samuel A. Taylor ( Vertigo ) based on Taylor's hit Broadway play, and an Oscar win for Edith Head's iconic costumes. Provocative, romantic, bubbling with laughter— Sabrina is simply irresistible!

They have invaded the icy fathoms into which no human has ever ventured. Their mission is to establish a top secret Navy base on the ocean floor.

It's a real jumpin' good time, featuring 16 vintage musical numbers by Rod McKuen, Henry Mancini, Bobby Troup and Sonny Burke…plus the acting talents of teen heartthrobs Sal Mineo (Rebel Without a Cause) and John Saxon (The Unguarded Moment)! Saxon plays high-school senior Jimmy Daley, who yearns to be a professional musician, much to the disappointment of his father (Edward C. Platt, North by Northwest). Jimmy sets out to prove he can make it in the L.A. music world, pawning the law books his father gave him to buy an electric guitar for his jazz-rock band with wisecracking ladies' man Angelo Barrato (Mineo). They get off to a shaky start, but they're soon getting ready for a major talent contest that could prove to be their big break.

As grisly murders begin to occur around her, Virginia finds it difficult to distinguish fact from fiction, and even more difficult to convince anyone that the hideous character is real. Brand, who reconstructs his disfigured face by carving away the flesh of his victims, is one of the more memorable horror villains of the 1980s (the decade that gave us Jason, Freddy, and Chucky). Director Tibor Takács cleverly frames Brand's appearances in DePalma-style setpieces, doling out shock and suspense in careful measures, making I, Madman an unforgettable cinematic page-turner.

Filming intimate conversations and stunning performances by such blues legends B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee, Mance Lipscomb, Bukka White, and Roosevelt Sykes, Manthoulis explored the emotional and sociopolitical factors that make the blues the most expressive and hauntung of musical forms. Blurring the line between documentary and fiction, The Blues Under the Skin dramatizes the tumultuous relationship of a young couple (Onike Lee and Roland Sanchez) as they struggle to overcome the barriers of poverty and prejudice that keep them from finding happiness together. Virtually unseen in the U.S., The Blues Under the Skin is a thrilling rediscovery, an untapped cask of musical performances that document not only a range of vanishing musical forms, but provide a priceless glimpse of a vanished culture in the 1970s South. Bonus Features: Audio Commentary by Film Historian Daniel Kremer | Interview with director Robert Manthoulis (29 min.) | Deleted scenes (9 min.) featuring performances by Big Boy Crudup and Willie Dixon | Original Trailer | 2024 Re-release Trailer
