    Warner Archive's May releases feature two significant musical films: a restored pre-release version of "Rhapsody in Blue" with 13 additional minutes only shown to WWII soldiers, and the long-awaited 4K release of "High Society" featuring Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, and Grace Kelly.

    • "Rhapsody in Blue" restoration includes footage cut before 1945 theatrical release
    • Film features people who knew Gershwin playing themselves including Oscar Levant and Al Jolson
    • Restored Porgy and Bess sequence with original Broadway actress Anne Brown expanded from 90 seconds to 4-5 minutes
    • Includes 10+ minute overture created for original theatrical screenings
    • "High Society" arrives in 4K from VistaVision negative with Dolby Atmos and original mono audio options
    • Cole Porter wrote original songs for the film including "True Love," which became a platinum record for Grace Kelly
    • This was Grace Kelly's final Hollywood film before becoming Princess of Monaco
    • VistaVision horizontal format provides exceptional clarity without distortion
    • Warner Archive offers both 4K/Blu-ray combo pack and standalone Blu-ray options for consumers

    We appreciate your support of Warner Archive Collection as we continue to preserve and restore classic films with the highest technical standards possible.
