A trade pub mentioned that the catalogue gate has been opened; I'd be a buyer of the following:

1.Black Shield of Falworth, The
2.Mobsters
3.Sting, The (OAR)
4.To Hell and Back

In addition, I'm offering a comment predicated upon 11 yrs. in the video retail business; your moratorium "monster" series would produce far greater profits, IF returned at a more competitive price.

I suspect there will be a third "wave" of horror films, perhaps next fall, which will include many of the above.

From Universal Home Video, I'm still hoping for: SAME TIME, NEXT YEAR (1978) and
the best Abbott & Costello movie: THE TIME OF THEIR LIVES (1946)

Great lists, everybody!
I would particularly like to see the following released, as I have been wanting to watch them for ages:
IF I HAD A MILLION (1932)
THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO (1934)
BEAU GESTE (1939)
THE CAT AND THE CANARY (1939)
TOWER OF LONDON (1939)
CHRISTMAS IN JULY (1940)
THE PALM BEACH STORY (1942)
THE GREAT MOMENT (1944; perhaps Sturges' original version, TRIUMPH OVER PAIN, has survived or can at least be reconstructed?)
HAIL THE CONQUERING HERO (1944)
MINISTRY OF FEAR (1944)
PHANTOM LADY (1944)
THE UNINVITED (1944)
THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN (1957)
THE BRIDES OF DRACULA (1960)
COLOSSUS: THE FORBIN PROJECT (1969)
By the way, Jay E, Ernst Lubitsch's TROUBLE IN PARADISE (1932) will be released by Criterion on 01/07/03. I can't wait for it myself, as I've only watched it once - alas, dubbed in Italian! Here are the complete specs:

Universal - I promise to buy multiple copies for friends and family if you will kindly release D.C. Cab on DVD.
Since this was re-released on VHS in 2001 under your "Favorites" banner, I'm crossing all my fingers for this one sometime in '03.
Thank you.

ISLAND OF LOST SOULS
THE BLACK CAT

THE GREAT MCGINTY
THE PALM BEACH STORY
TOWER OF LONDON
DOUBLE INDEMNITY
THIS GUN FOR HIRE
THE GLASS KEY
THE LIST OF ADRIAN MESSENGER
DESTRY RIDES AGAIN
BORIS KARLOFF'S THRILLER
Plus, let's throw in another plug for THE CAT AND THE CANARY

Gald to see that Universal is releasing a bunch of musicals - but - Where thehell is Rodgers and Hammersteins Flower Drum Song? With a new production opening on broadway, you would think that Universal would want to take advantage of it.
I would like more of thos Douglas Sirk films - Back Street, Magnificent Obsession, Madame X, Time ot Love and a Time to Die.
How about a l;etterbox Tammy and the Bachelor?
And where are all of those Cecil B. DeMille films Universal has only on tape - Unconquered, Sign of the Cross,
etc.
How about Rodgers and Harts The Boys from syracuse?

"The Boys from Syracuse", now there's one out of left field.
I seem to remember seeing a revival at a kid's matinee and from memory I'm sure it was in Sepia Tone.
Can any one confirm?

What about all those wonderful Technicolored John Hall and Maria Montez fantasy adventures.

The James Stewart-Anthony Mann westerns.

The Maurice Chevalier and Jeanette McDonald sexy Musical jaunts.

The Donald O'Connor and Peggy Ryan energy packed B Features.

The early work of Bing Crosby ( great news that "Love in Bloom"is on the way)

The Deanna Durbin Musicals.

and of course "Flower Drum Song"


With the Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, Burns and Allen titles either recently in release or about to be released, not to mention "The Glen Miller Story" and the "Benny Goodman Story" plus it's previous Horror Titles, Universal are to be congratulated for having the courage and foresight to open their vaults to what is possibly only a risky niche market.

Let's hope that these titles sell really well and thereby encourage other studios to do the same.

In the meantime keep 'em coming UNIVERSAL.
