Kino Lorber have detailed their upcoming Blu-ray releases of Mario Camerini's Ulysses (1954) and Jack Webb's Dragnet (1954). The two releases will be available for purchase on November 17.
Ulysses
Synopsis: Synopsis: This lush adaptation of Homer's grand epic The Odyssey stars Kirk Douglas as the hero Ulysses. After victory in the Trojan War, Ulysses embarks on a ten-year journey back to his kingdom. But before he can reunite with his beloved wife (Silvana Mangano), he must defeat the brutal Cyclops, escape the spell of Circe who turns his crew into swine, and outwit the Sirens who lure sailors to their death. Peril is everywhere - even at home, where the arrogant Antinous (Anthony Quinn) plots to steal Ulysses' wife before he can complete his final quest in this powerful tale of heroism.

Synopsis: Synopsis: Sgt. Joe Friday (Jack Webb) and Officer Frank Smith (Ben Alexander) are Los Angeles Police Department detectives, and they need every bit of skill they have to solve their latest case: the shooting death of low-end bookie Miller Starkie. While initial evidence points to gangster Max Troy (Stacy Harris) and his trigger-man, Chester Davitt, Friday and Smith have trouble getting an indictment. Only through their own tenaciousness can they make sure justice is served.
