I feel cheated that the master used on the DVD release of 14 years ago used a master of Calling Dr. Death that had the Inner Sanctum floating head in synch and the Blu ray version does not- how can this be missed by the folks who mastered this? really not acceptable.

I started watching the set and there is also a problem with Calling Dr. Death. The Intro section with the floating head in the Inner Sanctum is out of synch picture and sound. I put in the older Universal DVD set and the audio and picture were in perfect synch for the intro.

Hi I bought the set from Shout and got it on Monday and watched Horror Island- the movie and Peggy Moran look great- big improvement on the DVD. It does full just to Elwood Bredell's photography- great blacks and shadows- very moody- fantastic looking transfer- just watch the unrestored trailer...

They dropped the limit after i placed my order- Go figure! so I ended up paying shipping when I would have gladly bought more -even when you win with these folks you lose!

Great Line up for Forbidden Hollywood Vol 10- Product Notes Remember to knock five times, as the Cinema Speakeasy is open again with a quintet of controversial pre-Code classics. Lionel Barrymore stars as a DA who commits the perfect crime in W.S. Van Dyke's Guilty Hands, costarring Kay...

Archive is having a 4 for 44 sale- a good sale at last. Looks like it has an 8 title limit though

Actually great news-this is great looking Technicolor film-the dream sequence should be eye popping in Blu.

I've seen both of these restorations screened and they are stunning. Very excited for these 2 releases.

The true test will be if they do not have the Anniversary sale of 5 for 45.

Amazon has many of this year's releases at 11.99. I just ordered Johnny Angel and the other 4 recent noirs.

Chicago deadline or Great Gatsby would have been great choices for inclusion from the start. The 3 films we are getting are all good though. More troubling is that Egg and I was cancelled due to poor advance orders-not surprised at that as I have it in both the Kettle collection and the...

If they do they will get a big order from me. But I'm not very optimistic based on the pre black friday offer of 15% off new releases offer. Or maybe like the last 5 for 50 they will set a limit on how many titles can be ordered.

I got this email from TCM- Thank you for choosing the TCM Store. We just received notification that there was a production issue with the “Alan Ladd: The 1940s Collection DVD”. Unfortunately, there was one title removed, “And Now Tomorrow“, due to quality issues, however your order...
