“The Bette Davis Collection Volume 2” On DVD From Warner Home Video
(February 6, 2006 - Burbank, CA) – On May 30, Warner Home Video honors one of the most acclaimed and admired actresses of her generation with the debut of "The Bette Davis Collection Volume Two." Following on the heels of the spectacular success of WHV’s first Davis collection released last year, the studio has prepared another set of releases that are sure to please the huge fan base that still recognizes Miss Davis as one of the screen’s great legendary talents.
Highlighting this new Collection are the revered 1962 thriller "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?" newly remastered and available as a Two-Disc Special Edition and a new edition of the classic "Jezebel," which earned Davis her second Best Actress Academy Award® and has been restored from the original camera negative and remastered for optimum picture quality. Also featured in the Collection are "The Man Who Came To Dinner," "Marked Woman" and "Old Acquaintance" -- all making their DVD debuts. "Old Acquaintance" is making its long-awaited home video debut, having never been available in prior years on either videocassette or laserdisc.
