George Feltenstein joins Tim Millard to review the Warner Archive's April Blu-ray releases, a diverse collection spanning from 1950s classics to 2000s comedies that have been restored with stunning new transfers and special features.
• Leslie Caron and Mel Ferrer star in "Lily" (1953), a Technicolor gem restored from original 3-strip negatives
• Despite studio doubts, "Lily" became a massive success that was later reissued theatrically instead of going to television
• "Side Street" (1950) features rare on-location New York City filming with Farley Granger and Cathy O'Donnell
• Anthony Mann's noir thriller uses the city as a character, with John Alton's cinematography and a memorable climactic car chase
• "Springfield Rifle" (1952) starring Gary Cooper presented restoration challenges as an early Warner Color film
• "Just Friends" (2005) with Ryan Reynolds finally gets its first proper U.S. Blu-ray release with all special features
• "Clean and Sober" (1988) showcases Michael Keaton's breakthrough dramatic role alongside Morgan Freeman
• Glenn Gordon Caron's film about addiction remains relevant today, balancing serious subject matter with moments of hope
