Where is Night Nurse on DVD?


This movie is wonderful! Barbara as a tough talking nurse is incredible. I know they are finally going to release "Baby Face" on DVD so there must be plans to release this gem on DVD soon. My favorite scene is when Barbara meets Clark Gable:

Barbara: "Who are you?"
Clark (almost growling) : " I'm Nick , the chauffeur!"

Night Nurses is not on DVD yet. Baby Face has been released on DVD yesterday. It is in a set called "Forbidden Hollywood Collection" along with Waterloo Bridge & Red Headed Woman. I would like to have Night Nurses & Baby Face myself. When I find out about NN I will post it here for ya.
Hope this helps some.

I work in a DVD subtitling company and we're working on it. Expect it to come out really soon.

From DVD Times (http://www.dvdtimes.co.uk/content.php?contentid=66274)


Warner Home Video have announced the Region 1 DVD release of TCM
Archives: Forbidden Hollywood Volume 2 on 4th March 2008. Following
the success of last year's Volume 1, this new 3-disc collection will
contain five pre-code sizzlers, with some of Hollywood's biggest
stars. Disc One spotlights Norma Shearer in her Best Actress Oscar-
winning role as The Divorcee and again in A Free Soul; with Lionel
Barrymore and Clark Gable. Disc Two features Bette Davis, Joan
Blondell and Ann Dvorak in Three on a Match paired with the Michael
Curtiz-directed comedy Female starring Ruth Chatterton as a no-
nonsense CEO. Disc Three features William Wellman's powerful drama
Night Nurse, which stars Barbara Stanwyck with a very young Clark
Gable, along with the new documentary feature Thou Shalt Not: Sex, Sin
and Censorship in Pre-Code Hollywood. The film provides fascinating
insight into the American psyche of late 1920s and early 1930s,
illustrating why, more than seventy years later, the so-called "Pre-
Code" movies remain among the most vital and provocative films ever
made.

Each of the features contained in the set have been digitally
remastered from newly-restored film elements. The collection also
contains bonus features on selected title such as commentaries and
theatrical trailers. The three DVD set, containing the five vintage
classics and the new documentary feature will be available as a
collection only, selling for $49.92 SRP.

Night Nurse (1931)/ Documentary Thou Shalt Not: Sex, Sin and
Censorship in Pre-Code Hollywood

William Wellman's (Public Enemy) Night Nurse is a sassy, unsentimental
comedy about a private pediatric nurse named Lora Hart (Barbara
Stanwyck) who, after applying as an apprentice in a family home,
discovers there is a plot afoot to starve her two rich, fat, young
charges to death. The culprit is the family's chauffeur, Nick (Clark
Gable), a villain who plans to marry the kids' dissolute mother and
make off with their trust fund. It then is up to Hart, her
wisecracking nurse friend Maloney (Joan Blondell), and her bootlegger
beau Mortie (Ben Lyon) to save them. Director Wellman keeps the jokes
humming along with the peril.


This never-before seen documentary, Thou Shalt Not: Sex, Sin and
Censorship in Pre-Code Hollywood examines the unique collision of
events that resulted in one of the most dynamic - and delicious
periods in Hollywood history -- a fascinating mix of scandal, big
business and social history.

Outstanding!

I'm excited to own "Night Nurse" on DVD, and I've been dying to see "The Divorcee" and "A Free Soul."

Needless to say, I'll be buying this set in March.

I'm glad they are releasing Night nurse, but I wish it was being sold individualy. We should always have that option.

I'm watching a DVD of the movie from Netflix. That usually means it's purchasable from Amazon. It's on the same disk with Thou Shalt Not.

Nice.



No two persons ever watch the same movie.
