In the opening moments of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, a pair of disembodied lips sings, "I want to go / to the late-night double-feature picture show / by R.K.O." That's a reference to R.K.O. Pictures, a prolific studio that produced a slew of sci-fi and creature features (including the original King Kong) in the '40s and '50s. R.K.O. Lost and Found, a series of rare films not seen in any format since 1959, proves that the studio has more to offer than scream fests. Cineastes may flock to the Dalton Trumbo-scripted A Man to Remember (1938), but the crowd pleaser here has to be Frank Capra's delightful pre-code society farce Lady for a Day (1933).
