On 20 March, INDICATOR returns with UK-premiere Blu-ray releases of four outstanding Hollywood productions – including a pair of pre-Code masterpieces – from three of American cinema’s most-celebrated auteurs.

Often overlooked amongst director Ernst Lubitsch’s comedies and musicals, BROKEN LULLABY is a riveting and brilliant romantic drama from the pre-Code era, starring Lionel Barrymore (It’s a Wonderful Life), Nancy Carroll (The Kiss Before the Mirror), and Phillips Holmes (The Criminal Code).

Director James Whale (Frankenstein) directs Nancy Carroll (Broken Lullaby) and Frank Morgan (The Wizard of Oz) in THE KISS BEFORE THE MIRROR, a ravishingly staged pre-Code drama of infidelity which was made between Whale’s Universal horror classics The Old Dark House and The Invisible Man.

In BLUEBEARD’S EIGHTH WIFE, the second Lubitsch offering from INDICATOR in March, Claudette Colbert (It Happened One Night) and Gary Cooper (Morocco) star in one of the director’s greatest films, which also boasts a sizzling screenplay by Charles Brackett and Billy Wilder (The Lost Weekend, Sunset Blvd.).

Finally for March, the immortal screen couple of Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn (Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner) takes the lead in STATE OF THE UNION. This fabulously witty political comedy drama from director Frank Capra (It’s a Wonderful Life) also features supporting turns from Angela Lansbury (Gaslight) and Adolphe Menjou (The Sniper).

Mastered from the finest available materials, each of these essential releases contains expertly encoded presentations, a range of new and archival extra features, English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing, and booklets with new essays, historical articles, contemporary reviews, and film credits.
