[Matt Hough]

I can't believe that The Barretts of Wimpole Street was never been on DVD. I know it hasn't, but it seems unbelievable since it's such a classic.

And the 1936 Show Boat - just unthinkable.

LYNTON and CARDBOARD have rights issues. They're still working on RED DUST, whose elements are in dire shape, as well as the 1929 SHOWBOAT so all three can be released as a set.

WAC has also indicated on Facebook that the elements for A GUY NAMED JOE are in poor shape and they are working on them, but have no idea of a time frame. Talking about A GUY NAMED JOE, where is ALWAYS in Blu?

 

[Bob Cashill]

I believe there's some sort of rights issue with TEST PILOT.

 

[PODER]

Is there anything new on LETTY LYNTON? I was just reading about it in Mark A. Vieira's book
FORBIDDEN HOLLYWOOD: The Pre-Code Era, and it sounds fascinating. It's hard to believe that
there are still "rights issues" after all these many years.

Yeah, it looks like "Letty Lynton" is the only title left on this list that hasn't been released on DVD.

I always fall to understand WHY some one would hold on to "rights".....hold get nothing....release rights get something!
