This month, the Warner Archive has released several Bette Davis films never before available on DVD, including “The Rich Are Always With Us” (1932) and “Housewife” (1934). The Warner Archive makes hard-to-find classics from the studio’s vast holdings available as high quality, made-to-order DVDs, offering classic film fans a chance to expand their own movie libraries. Other recently released Davis pictures include “The Sisters” (1938) and “Juarez” (1939). Each DVD costs about $20 and is available for purchase directly from the Warner Archive website. Some Warner Archive releases, including the Davis film, “A Stolen Life” (1946), can also be found on Amazon.com.
