Warner Musical Collection (Calamity Jane, The Band Wagon, Kiss Me Kate 3D) - 3/3/15! (1 Viewer)

AWESOME news! Love all 3 titles, but I'm especially excited about Calamity Jane as I didn't really expect that one so soon, and I love me some Doris Day.

Here's hoping that there are a few more Doris Day gems on the cards from Warner. And I'd be so thrilled if Universal followed up their stellar "Pillow Talk" release and gave us "Lover Come Back", my favourite of the Day/Hudson films.

 

[JohnMor]

Couldn't agree more, Byron! (LCB is also my fave of the 3.)

 

[JoHud]

Whaaaat??

This was certainly unexpected, especially the titles chosen. Some might have wanted different films, but I'll gladly take what I can get and these titles aren't anything to sneeze at.

 

[Doug Bull]

I'm overcome with excitement.

Where is the official announcement? ( just to settle my nerves)

Doug.

 

[Giovanni DN]

Fabulous news!

 

[Steve Christou]

Altogether now -

Oh! The Deadwood Stage is a-rollin' on over the plains,
With the curtains flappin' and the driver slappin' the reins.
Beautiful sky! A wonderful day!
Whip crack-away!, Whip crack-away!, Whip crack-away!


I want all three, especially The Band Wagon, my favorite MGM musical not starring Gene Kelly.

 

[Keith Cobby]

This is excellent news and I shall be buying Calamity Jane and Kiss Me Kate. Slightly disappointed it doesn't say Volume 1 as High Society, Three Little Words, and The Belle of New York are higher up my wish list. Hopefully they will sell well.

 

[MatthewA]

Yes, yes and yes.

 

[Will Krupp]

SWOONING!!

 

[Ethan Riley]

Three bucket list titles all at once...!

Altogether now -

Oh! The Deadwood Stage is a-rollin' on over the plains,
With the curtains flappin' and the driver slappin' the reins.
Beautiful sky! A wonderful day!
Whip crack-away!, Whip crack-away!, Whip crack-away!

I'll just drown that out with:

 

[Will Krupp]

Tommy Rall is sex-on-a-stick

 

[Vic Pardo]

I saw KISS ME KATE in 3-D on the big screen sometime in the early '90s at Film Forum in New York. It remains the best use of 3-D I've seen in any film from that first wave of 3-D.

Oh, Will, why can't you behave?

 

[trajan]

Would like to see PENNIES FROM HEAVEN and GOODBYE MR CHIPS in 2015.

 

[Will Krupp]

Oh, Will, why can't you behave?

I have no idea what you mean, I'm an ANGEL!!

 

[bujaki]

I have no idea what you mean, I'm an ANGEL!!

Like Dietrich's ANGEL?

 

[Will Krupp]

Like Dietrich's ANGEL?

More like Hayley Mills as Mary Clancy!

 

[rsmithjr]

More like Hayley Mills as Mary Clancy!

Hayley put in quite a turn in the British films with Hywel Bennett. Try Family Way for example.

I am so excited for Kiss Me Kate! To quote the late, great Robin Williams in The Birdcage:

"Aaaaaaaand Fosse! Fosse! Fosse! Fosse!"
