The Joker is Wild in 4K
This gritty biopic dives into the smoky, dangerous glamor of Prohibition-era Chicago for the true story of nightclub performer Joe E. Lewis, famous for being one of the few people who could make gangster Al Capone laugh. Crooner Frank Sinatra, lauded by the film's marketing as “the most electric personality of our time,” follows Lewis’s highs and lows with the same realism and range he brought to The Man with the Golden Arm (1955). Ol’ Blue Eyes also adds musical dimension to the character — the real Lewis was more comedian than singer—with director Charles Vidor (no relation to fellow director King) compounding his experience with musicals and comedies into a story with dramatic nuance.

Anything Goes in VistaVision
Seasoned performer Bill Benson (Bing Crosby) and rising star Ted Adams (Donald O’Connor) team up to find the perfect leading lady for their new Broadway show. Each performer finds a compelling talent—American Patsy Blair (Mitzi Gaynor) and French nightclub star Gaby Duval (Jeanmaire)—and the conflict of who to cast heightens the stakes. Blending backstage drama with a bit of farce, this beloved narrative offers a musical spectacle driven as much by personal risk as ambition. The film represents a significant first: Robert Lewis’s solo directorial debut after a storied career with The Group Theater. It also marks a historic last as Crosby’s final film for Paramount Pictures during the waning years of his film career.

River of No Return
Marilyn Monroe’s appearance in Western genre films required designer Travilla to create costumes ranging from saloon-style gowns to casual denim looks. Monroe wanted her character, Kay—a kind-hearted saloon singer torn between an ex-convict (Robert Mitchum) and her troubled fiancé (Rory Calhoun)—to have a natural feel. Her acting coach, Natasha Lytess, and director Otto Preminger clashed over whether Monroe should use her typical breathy voice, with the studio backing Monroe’s decision to forgo it.

There's No Business Like Show Business
The Donahue clan, led by husband and wife Molly and Terry (Ethel Merman and Dan Dailey), navigate the ups and downs of show biz, from their beginnings in Vaudeville to the Great Depression, in this musical comedy with songs by Irving Berlin. The family’s close bond is further tested with the arrival of the talented and driven Vicky Parker (Marilyn Monroe). Costume designer Travilla played an integral role in shaping Marilyn Monroe’s public image on- and off-screen. Together they famously produced looks that evaded censorship while still courting controversy. His designs for her showgirl characters are of particular note.

The Prince and the Showgirl in 35mm with Bus Stop
The Prince and the Showgirl in 35mm
In this sole collaboration between Warner Bros. and Marilyn Monroe Productions, Monroe plays Elsie Marina, a witty American showgirl who gets noticed by the eccentric Prince Regent Charles (Laurence Olivier). Set in Edwardian London and directed by Olivier, the film was a famously troubled production, with tension between co-stars and cinematographer Jack Cardiff. The film was shot at Pinewood Studios outside London; Monroe’s difficulties on and off set were adapted into Simon Curtis’s fictional My Week with Marilyn (2011), with Michelle Williams starring as Monroe.

The Misfits in 4K
Penned by Arthur Miller, this contemporary Western centers on the recently divorced Roslyn (Marilyn Monroe) and her relationship with an aging former cowboy, Gay (Clark Gable), who now survives by rounding up wild mustangs to sell them to a slaughterhouse. Considered a commercial failure at the time of its original release, the film has since been regarded as a classic by critics and audiences, perhaps notably because it was the final completed film of both Gable and Monroe, and a fitting bookend to Monroe’s career—she credited Huston for her first big break in his The Asphalt Jungle (1950).
