Cardinal Richelieu (1935) & Scudda-Hoo! Scudda-Hay! (1948)

It is a wonderful, wild time to be a physical media fan. Streaming services seem more and more to be pushing the new in favor of the old. They spend billions of dollars making new movies and television shows while ignoring the incredible, wonderful, often beloved films in their catalog.

But there are numerous niche Blu-ray labels putting out incredible-looking, and supplementally loaded old (and often obscure) films. I love it.

A few years back I reviewed a couple of these old and very obscure films that had just come to DVD. The historical drama Cardinal Richelieu (1935) and comedy Scudda Hoo! Scudda Hay! (1948) (best known now for being Marilyn Monroe’s debut) are not particularly good films, but I’m glad that got a true physical release.
