Buck Benny Rides Again (1940)

Starring:

• Eddie 'Rochester' Anderson
• Theresa Harris 
• Jack Benny 
• Ellen Drew

Storyline
Jack Benny resists the entreaties of bandleader Phil Harris to journey to Nevada, where Phil's sweetheart, Brenda Tracy, is waiting for her divorce, until Jack meets Joan Cameron, one of a trio of singing sisters. Believing that the only real men hail from the West, Joan spurns Jack's advances even though her sisters encourage the courtship. Realizing that Jack's infatuation presents the bait to lure him West, Phil tells Joan that Jack owns a ranch in Nevada, and when Fred Allen's press agent broadcasts the story, all of New York starts talking about Jack's ranch. To save face, Jack, determined to prove that he is a true son of the West, travels to Nevada. After Joan and her sisters arrive to perform at a nearby plush dude ranch, Jack poses as the owner of Andy Devine's spread. To impress Joan, Jack pays Andy's ranch hands to stage fights with him, but his plot backfires when he mistakes two real outlaws for Andy's patsies. Meanwhile, Joan overhears Rochester, Jack's butler, discussing Jack's ruse, and hires the outlaws to hold Jack up, but when she learns that Fred Allen's press agent is in town, she warns Jack. When the outlaws hold up the hotel, Jack, believing that the robbery is a fake, rushes to the rescue and, with the help of his pet bear Carmichael, captures the bandits and saves Joan.

Code Red DVD’s edition of The Black Dragon’s Revenge (now out-of-print) was long considered the superior digital transfer of this title, but no longer.

The Film Detective’s edition is as detailed as the film’s celluloid will allow, features accurate color rendition and a 2.35:1 aspect ratio with an even slightly wider field of view by comparison. We recommend this as a worthy successor to all previous home video releases, as the current “Definitive Edition” of The Black Dragon’s Revenge.

Home of the Brave (1949)

Starring:

• James Edwards 
• Jeff Corey
• Lloyd Bridges

Storyline
Based on a play by Arthur Laurents, Home Of The Brave recounts the story of a young black soldier (James Edwards) who has suffered a nervous breakdown and developed psychosomatic paralysis. Crippled by rage and trauma, his condition was induced by experiences encountered during a reconnaissance mission combined with a lifetime of racial discrimination. He may be able to walk again, but only if he can overcome his anger and frustrations. The film’s theme revolves around a diverse group of men subjected to the horror of war and their individual struggles. Home Of The Brave was one of Hollywood’s first bold statements regarding the issue of race.
