I second that request for COME NEXT SPRING This was R.G.Springsteens masterpiece. another film much championed by Mr Scorcese is OUTRAGE which Olive do inteend to release at some point.
Robin, Great news about ON THE FIDDLE,I never knew this was on the way. Believe it or not this film played as a main feature when it was released. The films co-star Alfred Lynch was a very fine actor who never achieved the fame he so richly deserved. Two other Lynch early Sixties films that I...
Just released by Renown in the UK: DOUBLE CONFESSION This was cited by the British Film Institute as a "lost" film. Then recently it turned up as a bootleg. The Renown edition is far superior to anything that we have had before and is well recommended. A must for "Brit Noir" freaks. Also from...
Good to see quiet a bit of interest in THE CITY THAT NEVER SLEEPS. Hopefully with that and HELLS HALF ACRE we might be able to re-appraise John H Auer. Other Republic titles directed by Auer I would like to see released are: THE ETERNAL SEA With Alexis Smith and Sterling Hayden THUNDERBIRDS Film...
The Warner Archive MOD of RETURN OF THE GUNFIGHTER has a somewhat long (2.45 min) trailer. Besides being a 1967 TV movie (released to theatres outside the US) the film is presented in 1.85 widescreen.
To add insult to injury I gather that Paramount/Republic also own the rights to the William Broidy productions originally released by Allied Artists. Some great stuff here: PORT OF HELL (1955) FINGER MAN (1955) THE BIG TIP OFF (1955) LAS VEGAS SHAKEDOWN (1956) FINGER MAN has a great turn by...
I understand that the Albert Zugsmith films released by MGM are now owned by Paramount/Republic. Olive say they are going to release Jack Arnolds HIGH SCHOOL CONFIDENTIAL. But what about the 4 Zugsmith films directed by Charles Haas: THE BIG OPERATOR THE BEAT GENERATION PLATINUM HIGH SCHOOL...
This series is a real gold mine for B Movie fanatics like myself.
I will be getting six of the above that include:
AMBUSH AT TOMAHAWK GAP
APACHE AMBUSH
THE BAMBOO PRISON
THE BRIGAND
GHOST OF THE CHINA SEA
TARGET HONG KONG
As a Phil Karlson nut I am really pleased about THE BRIGAND
The quality of...
The Warner Archive MOD of BATTLE ZONE has a trailer.
A very fine looking transfer too.
The last dozen or so Sony MODs I have purchased do not have trailers;
have they decided not to include them anymore?
Joe,I totally agree with your comments regarding SON OF ROBIN HOOD and cannot help thinking
how great the film would have looked in scope.
Sadly this is the only way we are going to see this film on DVD.
THE WIZARD OF BAGHDAD again is pan & scan but the p.q. is far superior.
Also the cover art...
The following Warner Archive Swashbucklers all have trailers:
KING RICHARD & THE CRUSADERS
THE SCARLET COAT
THE KINGS THIEF
SECRET OF MONTE CRISTO
Dont know about Swordsmen Of Sienna because I did not buy it!
YEP the cover artwork for THE TRAP is pretty darn cool!
I too am really looking forward to it!
Actually apart from SECRET OF THE INCAS there are two other vintage
Paramount titles announced for at least two years as on the way from
Olive Films.
THE SAVAGE.........Charlton Heston western...
I am dismayed to see that according to MOVIES UNLIMITED that
THE WIZARD OF BAGHDAD and SON OF ROBIN HOOD are not going to
be widescreen transfers.
I was really looking forward to these two films but as ghastly pan and scan
versions...........NO WAY!
If Fox cannot be bothered to source...
Dear Mr.Finn,
I am most interested to see some of the post-Regalscope films made by the Lippert/Fox deal as
API (Associated producers)
I am very interested in the following low budget Cinemascope Westerns
WALK TALL
THE PURPLE HILLS
THIRTEEN FIGHTING MEN
YOUNG JESSE JAMES
THE YOUNG GUNS OF TEXAS...
David Steigman,
I understand that Paramount/Republic own all the Regalscope titles that were originally released by Fox.
In the first wave there are four Regalscope films:
AMBUSH AT CIMARRON PASS (Early Eastwood)
SHOWDOWN AT BOOT HILL (Early Bronson)
PLUNDER ROAD By all accounts the Citizen Kane...
From the REPUBLIC batch these are the titles that I will be going for:
CHINA GATE
CITY THAT NEVER SLEEPS
CRASHOUT
CRY VENGEANCE
(Bleak, harsh, brutal stunning Film Noir)
HELLS HALF ACRE
THE LAST COMMAND
OUTRAGE
(daring for its time,film much championed by Mr Scorsese)
RAMROD
SOUTH OF ST LOUIS...
Really good that there is interest in THE GOLDEN HAWK
I have never seen this film and am really looking forward to it.
Hopefully SERPENT OF THE NILE also starring lovely Rhonda Fleming
will not be too far behind.
Sony are really getting ahead of themselves these days having just announced their
October MOD releases
This time its a treasure trove for B movie lovers and a goldmine for Sam Katzman fans.
THE 49th MAN (1953) John Ireland thriller
APPOINTMENT IN BERLIN (1943) George Sanders spy thriller...
Just out in the UK Hugo Fregoneses rarely seen Wartime drama
SEVEN THUNDERS
Also on the way from Odeon two from the Fox vaults
THE MARK
INTENT TO KILL
Intent To Kill has just been released by Fox on their MOD series as a
4x3 pan & scan,I wonder if Odeon have been able to source the correct...
Sony are really getting ahead of themselves;the September MODs are up on their website.
I am REALLY thrilled about SAFARI (1956) which is pretty near the top of my wants list.
Some time since we have had a Warwick film from them,now bring on
TANK FORCE
THE BLACK KNIGHT
A PRIZE OF GOLD
HIGH...
Here is my Fox MOD wish;
before I begin a couple of points.
A couple of films on my list,I know have already been out in Spain,but NOT
in scope.
Also according to the Fifties Westerns website www.fiftieswesterns.wordpress.com
ALL the Regalscope titles are now owned by Paramount/Republic.
That...
Search for OLIVE FILMS on imdb and the full list of Republic titles Olive have obtained from Paramount will appear;
along of course with lots of Paramount titles.
There is quiet a lot of Warner titles like Milton Sperlings United States productions;several Allied Artists films
and even a few...
Really,really excited about stuff from the Republic vault;which includes Warner,RKO,Allied-Artists
and Fox titles among others.
I am really interested in CRY VENGEANCE which someone kindly supplied me from Netflix.
Its as harsh and brutal as a Film Noir can be and a must for Don Siegel,Sam...
Hello Again Nick Beal,
As a fellow Brit (a Muswell Hillbilly by birth now living on the Isle Of Wight!)
I too get lots of the Sidonis Westerns but the "forced" subs drive me up the wall!
I have a buddy with the know-how to remove the darn things.
They have cornered the market in rare Universal...
Attention Nick Beal:
Thanks for the lowdown on the Spanish edition of THE LONE GUN I have
for ages tried to get the feedback on this one!
Hopefully a better version may surface from the MGM/UA MOD series.
Regarding Vertice Cine my copy of DANGEROUS MISSION has "forced"
subs despite what it says...
On the way in June from Koch Germany are two excellent adventure/historical epics.
RAIDERS OF THE SEVEN SEAS (Sidney Salkow 1954)
John Payne,Donna Reed,Lon Chaney,Anthony Caruso,Gerald Mohr,Henry Brandon.
A first rate Pirate romp with not one but three nasty villians (Caruso,Mohr and Brandon)...
The Sony Choice Collection DVD of SPIN A DARK WEB has a trailer.
"The deadliest female of the species weaves a web of terror no man can escape!"
Really spiffing little Brit Noir.
I thought THE GLORY BRIGADE was a Fox film.
PARATROOPER was released in the UK a couple of years back under its original title
THE RED BERET.
The war film I really want is TANK FORCE (a.k.a.NO TIME TO DIE)
a great war film in sciope and color.
