Movies Unlimited is featuring a pre-release sale on the following 4 films scheduled for DVD release on September 15, 2012:

Cairo

The Chocolate Soldier

Three Daring Daughters

The Sun Comes Up

Nelson fans should check out Cairo…as there’s a huge photo of him hanging in the lobby of the movie theater in which Jeanette and Ethel Waters speak with Robert Young. No doubt this was a cute idea from director Woody Van Dyke to cheer up Jeanette after Nelson angrily bought out his contract and left MGM.

DVR alert! Or…Set up your slumber party now…get some friends together and enjoy!

It’s a 24-hour Jeanette MacDonald marathon – and of course many of her films with Nelson Eddy are included. Just looking at these titles of her MGM films that will be shown – what an amazing list of films!
