Dour To Door Maniac (aka Five Minutes To Live) may be widely familiar from its PD status and wide availability across homevid labels and streaming. But to me the real gem here is Right Hand Of The Devil. A real fun, surprisingly edgy-for-its-time little curio. Can't recommend it highly enough...

More memories...

Me too. The rough, apparently 16mm-based non-OAR US-dubbed copies that were so widely available via PD VHS and later DVD and streaming sources were of course PD -- but it was of course edited down (by about 20 mins., to about 76 mins.) from the original DEFA-produced German version, Der...

Korvettes. That brings back memories. I was a regular at their North Bronx outpost.

FWIW Hammerhead's already available on a very nice DVD from Sony/Columbia; Corrupt Ones and Deadlier Than The Male are available on blu ray from the UK and Germany, respectively. (Deadlier Than the Male's also available Stateside in HD streaming via Amazon.) Generally I'd love more Eurospy...

No. 1 of The Secret Service! Now that's counterintuitive! From the dubiously talented Lindsay Shonteff! But I still might pick it up! ;) I'd pounce at a Kino release of Shonteff's maiden spy outing, Second Best Secret Agent in the Whole Wide World (with a Sammy Davis, Jr., theme song no...

I've no doubt it'll be another Sisyphean process for Bob and the 3DFA team but, if nothing else, Bob always deserves an "A" for tenacity. Hopefully the folks he's negotiating with get it in terms of their window of opportunity (which is, frankly, today ... and not some future unrealizable...

Yes, as David Norman notes, it's the (currently) last page (pg. 262) of the "Meet Bob Furmanek" thread. It should be a regular visit for classic-3D fans: https://www.hometheaterforum.com/community/threads/meet-bob-furmanek-htf-golden-age-3-d-consultant.312058/page-262

Bob Furmanek just posted in his thread some great news about discussions to secure a 3D blu ray of Cat Women of the Moon!

We're looking forward to 3DFA hopefully being able to work its magic on a long overdue 3D blu ray release. :emoji_fingers_crossed:

For those of us (old enuff to be...) familiar with Barry Newman's Petrocelli character from the '70s TV series, The Lawyer -- the theatrical release which spawned it -- is far edgier than you might expect. Recommended, albeit with caveats over some politically incorrect touches and modest...

Well put.... ;)

Cannot thank the good folks at Kino Lorber enough for at long last bringing us genre fans Back From The Dead.

The basis for the 1993 Stallone film Cliffhanger. The Toby Roan commentary -- plus my readiness to step up whenever Kino gets us a new-to-homevid title (rather than an upgrade) -- is sufficient to help get me across the goal line to purchase.

Rights entanglements and 90-year-old B movies should be a contradiction in terms -- an oxymoron. Any heir should be pleased with whatever modest fee the studio and/or distributor is willing to cut them; holding out for some kind of $$ windfall from the homevid exploitation of any but a relative...

Well, in any case I hope this might portend more releases of early-'30s Columbia rarities such as 1932's The Menace (an early entry in Bette Davis' career) and 1933's Night of Terror (a nice 35mm print aired on the GetTV channel many years ago) and Fog (a print resides at the Library of Congress).

A great addition to one of Kino's next Noir boxsets: The 1946 Universal early A-bomb-spy entry Danger Woman. Not strictly a noir of course but then again neither was Mystery of Marie Roget nor several other recent selections. ;)

Brando would have been a fascinating choice. All four of course would have been more credibly age-appropriate to have Grace Kelly as their wife.... ;)

Invaders was indeed a gorgeous restoration. And my favorite part of the award is that it's for Best Classic Film Home Media Release. We like it when UCLA restorations get homevid releases. Eagerly awaiting one for 1931's Drums of Jeopardy, for one.... :)

Wayne's presentation of Cooper's Oscar was (IMHO) a fascinating example of actor courtesy and unity in that The Duke famously blasted High Noon as communistic drivel. Clearly he blamed Carl Foreman and not Cooper. A great movie, btw.

Probably. They were both Universal contract players. She was actually a few years his senior and was America's newest pinup girl, in a way, following her memorable turn in a swimsuit in Creature from the Black Lagoon. By the '60s, Danton was famously cheating on her (reportedly bedding...

And I agree on that! This is an excellent site in many ways.

Ditto -- though I have all four, via Australia of course. So if the quality on any is found to be a significant improvement, or the extras are irresistible, then I'll probably make the move as well. Anyway, I'll cut Kino plenty of slack for being late-to-the-party on this (as they were with...

1) Disney (Is there any doubt?). Buying Fox only to lock away classic Fox fare apparently never to be seen again on homevid by fans. Most other studios have unlocked their vaults and (in many cases via Kino) given us some well-received rarities. 2) WB (or Warner Archive, depending on...

In other words.... we won't have Nixon to kick around any more.... ;)

Mine so far (more or less chronologically by anticipated '24 release date) -- all blu rays: - Incubus (1966) (actually released in France in Dec. but with shipping essentially a '24 US release) - The Devil's Partner - Red Planet Mars - Goodbye & Amen (with a first-time English track) - Blood on...

Of course I just the other day ordered the very expensive German blu of Destination Inner Space! You knew it had to happen. :rolleyes: Well, I've learned my lesson. Needless to say I've rushed in an order-cancellation request. ;)

With their prodigious output Kino has unearthed more rarities than I'd ever imagined.

In addition to the "J.R. in 3d: That's all, brother!" ad cited by Bob, the entertaining article linked below offers additional taglines, per this excerpt: Ads sprang up around St. Louis, teasing “J.R. in 3-D. It’ll knock both your eyes out!” Another slogan read, “Jane Russell in 3Dimension —...

Sooo appreciative for Kino's announcement that they'll be bringing us the long-elusive 1957 chiller Back From the Dead. Kudos to Kino!
