A rare "Hicksploitation" film from 1976 follows DJ Miller, a disc jockey in the Southern U.S. When Miller's motorcycle is stolen and used in a drug deal he faces off against local thugs and unsavory characters to clear his name. Scanned from one of the only surviving rare 35mm release prints in 4K, this print was run through multiple rounds of restoration.

Music...Mystery...Murder...! That's what awaits viewers of this memorable movie from director William A. Wellman (The Public Enemy, The Ox-Bow Incident). Barbara Stanwyck stars in one of her sassiest roles as Deborah Hoople, AKA Dixie Daisy, a brassy burlesque performer who is suspected of murder.

Salt of the Earth centers on a long, difficult workers' strike against a mining company in New Mexico.

When the men are forced to end their picketing, Esperanza joins the other women who demand to play a role in the strike, against their husbands' wishes. Written, directed, and produced by members of the original blacklisted "Hollywood Ten," Salt of the Earth is a powerful, persuasive drama that educates and inspires.
