Still no "Girls Demand Excitment" announcement from FOX. We were supposedly going to see this released in 1st quarter 2016. Wonder what the holdup could be?

In the unlikely event of The Big Gamble being in the correct aspect ratio, I'll buy this disc. I saw the film when it first came out and enjoyed it. I was impressed by Juliette Greco, but that may have been because I was at an impressionable age concerning glamorous women. I remember Sybil Thorndike comments on her neckline. That's about all I can remember so I can't say the film is good, but I'd like to see it again.

I've never seen Five Gates To Hell but I've always wanted to. Neville Brand is reputed to be at his most villainous! I'll wait for the reviews before buying.

I hope both Gang War with Charles Bronson and The Big Gamble with Stephen Boyd will be decent prints in proper screen ratio . If so i'll buy both .
