I know this restoration and brand new documentary was due for release in 2014 -- anyone out there heard anything new about this coming to bluray and dvd?

With an avalanche of new releases on bluray in the latter half of 2012, could liken this year to that golden Hollywood year of 1939 -- the year so many great movies were released in one year -- are there any other iconic titles still yet to make the jump to high definition?

Beginning in Australia from August 11 -- we've has always had the biggest fanbase for "McHale's Navy" (Ernest Borgnine is still revered down here) and glad to see both original movies are being released in their original aspect ratio (although the movies new PG rating is far too severe and isn't...
