No doubt to be followed by the AWESOME APRIL SALE, the MONSTER MAY SALE...

Genuinely sorry for the loss of your friend. Hoping time will lessen the pain of your loss.

Unvarnished truth makes for sober reading - well summarised there, Josh. The thing about TT was that I had a sentimental attachment to the label - seeing the efforts of people passionate about classic cinema, trying to make it accessible to others in a sustainable way. So I didn’t balk at their...

It’s the reference to the two outlets that led me to think the context must be the existing titles. Otherwise why mention the two outlets? I think what that statement is saying is to the effect that ‘we already have lots of titles on hand at these two outlets, so we remain a going concern’. At...

Brad, I hope you’re right in your interpretation of that post, and thanks for sharing it here. I didn’t read it in the same way and couldn’t detect any assurance for new releases in 2020. I read the ‘200+ titles’ to mean the existing titles already on offer through TT and SAE. Nevertheless, I...

Welease Wodewick!

Just got shipping notice from SAE for the 9 Blus I ordered last week - some older releases and some new, including Captain From Castille. Most eager for You'll Never Get Rich to arrive. Love this film and it contains the gobsmacking Boogie Barcarolle music and dance miracle. Very encouraged by...

Really appreciate Nick Redman's candour. It'll be a sad day when he and Brian Jamieson finally have that "whim" to pull the pin on their labour of love. Hoping that day will be much later than sooner.

Matt, please rest assured that I did consult your review of this film before I upgraded from my DVD to the TT Blu. I notice I was remiss in not 'like'ing your well-written and balanced write-up, as like it I most certainly did. I have rectified this omission after re-reading it just now. My...

The Secret of Santa Vittoria: Saw this one on UK TV in the late 70s - the last film I ever watched with my dear, departed uncle. It was a lovely experience and we laughed a lot watching it. Hadn't heard of it since, and I had forgotten the film's title, but saw a DVD cover in a local...

I'm with you on all three counts, Geoffrey - i.e. Wilson, The Rains Came and a reissue of Leave Her to Heaven. Have frequently kicked myself for not picking up the TT Blu of LHtH before it sold out in a last minute rush, and have not left things to chance since. But I recall TT said that The...

Shipping timeliness aside, I've bought all my Twilight Time discs (40 Blu Rays and 2 DVDs) from SAE over the past eighteen months, and their packaging has been routinely excellent; better than any of the several other outlets from which I regularly purchase. Packaging is especially important...

Ben, my apologies for the lengthy delay, but for what it's worth, here's my response to your question about The Black Rose: [relevance to this topic being the request to Twilight Time for a boxset of Tyrone Power Fox classics] A work of hogwash fiction, loosely worked around some historic...

I love Sense and Sensibility. Emma Thompson fully deserved her Oscar for Adapted Screenplay. Beautiful performances all around, especially from Ms Thompson herself and the ever-wonderful Alan Rickman (still coming to terms with his untimely passing). That said, my favourite film of 1995 was...

Thanks, Ben. If memory serves, your teenaged son was also a fan of quality film, irrespective of era. Perhaps hope for the classics enduring yet! We watched The Black Rose on DVD last night, including the behind the scenes family reunion involving Tyrone Power's two daughters, son and second...

Fully support your proposal here, Ben. My twenty-something daughter and I would be in line to pick up this boxset. Know anything about the status of King of the Khyber Rifles?

Oh, for the Instant Gratification Brigade! ;-) The opposite tack for me. Place orders in far-away places like US, UK, Germany and France. Days later receive shipping notice via email. Tracking notices that mention hops and skips at depots unknown / unpronounceable. Weeks, sometimes months later...

Sean, you mean to say that after your contributions on the AMFAS threads, including providing the 'answer' post, you're only just now picking it up? I might have to reconsider my earlier comments on Josh's thread. Kidding of course. Looking forward to your AMFAS comments post-viewing.

Josh, with your love of Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart (which I share), I reckon you'll really appreciate James Garner's brilliance in the Sheriff/Gunfighter films. Deliciously hilarious (especially Sheriff) with a great supporting cast in super form.

The following was TT's response to Shakeel's fair post in Feb:

For the consideration of Mr Nick Redman and/or other Twilight Time execs & reps: I've purchased many TT Blu-rays and consider them top-notch in quality. To date, all my TT purchases have been via SAE, even after the introduction of the TT online store. The reason for this has been the lower...

The inescapable pre-condition for formulating release plans must needs be awareness of one's ownership of said article. [Rules of Acquisition - the unwritten rule: "When no appropriate rule applies... make one up"]

I received a promotional email from TT that included the following: Additional Stock for Select Titles We are pleased to announce that we have manufactured the very last of our limited run of the following titles, which were temporarily sold out but are now back in-stock and on sale at...
