Can someone who has received this DVD tell me what the UPC number is (ALL the numbers under the barcode)? Thanks!

It was a film Ray made with students when working as a professor at a film school. I have never seen it, but I beleive Ray also acts in it.

I'm in Australia, so maybe they broadcast it differently? Also, I recorded it on the SD channel.

I saw Fate is the Hunter on TCM about a month ago (cropped to 16:9 of course). The thing that stood out for me was the 2 cent photographic effects. It was living proof that at that time Fox was just pumping all the money they had into The Sound of Music. I won't bother with that film on DVD, but...

The best Fox release of 2010 wasn't actually a Fox release. It was Criterion's Blu-ray of Bigger Than Life. I don't understand why Man on a Tightrope and Wild River weren't released as Fox Studio Classics titles. Maybe they were tied up in legal issues back in that period, but they are...

There are some great revelations about how much money Fox wasted on Cleopatra in this book: http://www.amazon.com/Twentieth-Century-Fox-Corporate-Financial-Filmmakers/dp/0810842440/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1297914479&sr=8-1-spell For example, Fox signed Nunnully Johnson to...

I think this was caused by the fact initially pressing plants couldn't make dual layer discs, even though it was part of the DVD spec. According the DVD profiler, the first release of The Man Who Would be King was released on 18 November, 1997, so it isn't surprising that it wasn't released on a...

Looks like Criterion will definatley be releasing it, it is already on Hulu (not that people outside of the U.S. can watch it). http://www.hulu.com/watch/215800/the-four-feathers

Wasn't the original DVD released in 1998? That would explain why it looks so bad.

Great, I've already added both to my DVDProfiler wishlist and I'll order them as soon as they are available for pre-order.

Great, I'll buy that and The Nickel Ride. Any idea roughly when they will be released?

Well I bought 20 at $10 each during the sale last December, including free postage. Just set yourself a limit of, say 4 a month, then order a whole heap during the 50% off sale in December.

A pristine transfer of Sunday in New York played on TV here late last year, so I wouldn't be surprised if that is a remastered title. It's a pretty good film too.

Do you have a link?

Great to see The Night Digger released, and remastered too! I'm disapointed that Richard Fleischer's Bodygaurd didn't make it into a 6th film noir box.

The story goes that Howard Hughes loved Ice Station Zebra. Late in his life he owned a TV station in Nevada, and would ring up the station a few times a year demanding that they put Ice Station Zebra on.

There's a documentary called Samsara being released this year that was shot in Panavision Super 70, which is a very similar format to Todd-AO: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0770802/combined Both formats use 65mm, instead of 35mm, and frames that are 5 instead of 4 perforations high. They...

Has anyone received a copy of Kremlin Letter? What is the image quality like?

Are you series? Moonfleet uses the Auto Pan and Scan feature of the DVD spec? Aren't there only like a dozen DVDs in existence that use that feature? So it is safe to buy if you have a 16:9 TV (wiith your DVD / blu-ray player set to 16:9) or have your player set to 4:3 letterbox if...

There are more 'Scope ratio films shot now than in the mid-1980s when VHS threatened to kill off the ratio. But there is another factor now, the 2.4:1 format enables filmmakers to get the biggest image even in smaller cinemas, so it has that advantage that 1.85:1 can't match. The practice of...

I hope the R1 version has the same good extras that the region 2 version has. Of course they should really be releasing this film on Blu-ray, because a good new transfer whould look fantastic in HD.

How could they possible know that considering DVDs have only been made since 1997 at the absolute earliest? Over the last few weeks I have sold some of the oldest DVDs from my collection, including a couple I bought in 1998 that still played perfectly.

Well it would be cool if they included a re-recorded version of the score, mixed into 5.1. I suspect it will be released early next year for the 50th anniversary. I don't think they will wait until December.

Yeah I got it from Warner Archive. Do they do replacements for discs that fail after a year?

Warner Archive just posted this on Twitter: http://a.yfrog.com/img618/8749/x1pr.jpg

My Warner Archive disc of Party Girl has died after just 1 year. I just started watching it again for, from memory, the third time since I bought it in December 2009. The disc stops playing after 30 minute s . Who likes my chances of getting a replacement after one year sent to...

Wait until December when you can get them for half price (or less) and with free shipping. Just keep a list during the year of all the titles you want, then get them when they are cheap.

I'll buy The Nickel Ride ASAP.

Love Me or Leave me would be great. I'd prefer White Heat over Mister Roberts.
