I would be very happy if "Ice Folies" would be in a Stewart set, and "Reunion In France" in John Wayne set.

"Letty Lynton" would ofcorse be the ultimate orgasm of all Joan Crawford fans

Junior, I think Reunion in France will be in the Wayne set, since WB doesn't have more than 6 titles "never realesed on dvd".

I would like to have "BERSERK" on a double bill with "TROG".
I am not sure if that is WARNERS or not.
Also, the unknown film "DELLA" with Diane Baker....................

I had no idea Joan Crawford had did pre-codes. Dance, Fools, Dance and Our Modern Maidens were under the Forbidden Hollywood banner on VHS, so it'll only be a matter of time till we see these gems.

TCM today showed restored prints of Harriet Craig and Autumn Leaves. I do hope that this means that they'll be released in the near future.

Don't bet on it - Columbia/Sony has all but quit issuing such old catalog titles on DVD. They may have new masters of them, but they are only seen on TCM and such channels. They showed a widescreen THE GODDESS earlier this year, but I wouldn't hold my breath for a DVD release. Too bad... I'd love it and many other such films in anamorphic widescreen on DVD. Amazing such titles as QUEEN BEE came out in such a format from 2000-2003 when Columbia/Sony seemed to be excavating their library to issue tons of classic titles onto DVD. I mean, one month a bunch of Judy Holliday films came out, like THE MARRYING KIND, THE SOLID GOLD CADILLAC and IT SHOULD HAPPEN TO YOU. Wanna bet the other films they own will never be on DVD, such as PHFFFT and FULL OF LIFE? Catch them on TCM.

Sony could put together a pretty swell Crawford box set of Autumn Leaves, Harriet Craig, The Story of Esther Costello, & Berserk! They could throw in the already released Queen Bee and Strait-Jacket at a decent price, too.

I hope so - they have a few that I really would like to get - HARRIET CRAIG and PHFFFT among them.

IMO The Shining Hour should be released in the next Camp box set - because the film just has to be seen to be believed.

They could also include the 1942 film, They All Kissed the Bride with Melvyn Douglas. I would actually like if they included the 2 previous released films since I don't own them. Here's hoping on this and a Rita Hayworth collection.

Bits and pieces from the latest MoviesUnlimited Q & A. Whether these predictions come true or not, we shall see sooner or later :)

Sony is currently considering putting out Harriet Craig (1950) on a double feature with the earlier version of the story, Craig’s Wife (1936), so you’ll be able to compare whether Crawford or Rosalind Russell rendered the more contemptible character.

Warners still hasn't decided if they want to use Forsaking All Others or Sadie McKee as the 5th title in Crawford V2.
