Warners Errol Flynn Signature Collection Vol. 2 in March '07 (1 Viewer)

[Corey]

I think Volume 3 will consist of:

-Virginia City
-Silver River
-Uncertain Glory

 

[Tim Tucker]

Maybe for Volume 3 Warner will reclaim Santa Fe Trail from PD hell.

 

[Corey]

hopefully so, and add edge of darkness and that'll be a perfect set.

Just to revisit that mis-alignment issue, here are a few captures from Elizabeth and Essex. The mis-aligned color begins in the first scene of the film, Essex's return to London in triumph. In this first shot, everything is lined up well, and it's a beautiful shot:



In the next shot, we see some halberdiers as Essex makes his way through a portal. The color in this shot is badly aligned:



In case it is difficult to see how badly the color lines up, here is a blow up of the halberdiers:



The odd thing is, the mis-aligned shots are consistent with specific camera angles. There are several shots of the halberdiers in the portal during Essex's march. Every time it cuts to that angle, the shot is misaligned. It is that way through the entire movie. You watch a scene, composed of various angles. Specific angles will consistently show the mis-aligned color. It's not like it's is bad for a certain # of feet of film.

David B K, that's exactly what I noticed! It also happened as I was saying with certain angles on Dodge City too. Maybe they're mis-aligned because they weren't given the Ultra-Resolution process? It is a bit distracting though.

Looks like I'll have to wait for Volume 3 to get Footsteps in the Dark.

 

[Ray_R]

Won't they release alot of his other films individually in the meantime? I hope they will.
When is Volume 3 supposed to be released? Much later in 2007?

Flynn was always underrated, but never moreso than his roles as a light comedian that made use of his self-deprecating humor. A trailer exists on FOUR'S A CROWD (with Olivia deHavilland and Rosalind Russell) and I second the suggestion for FOOTSTEPS IN THE DARK, but most of all, I'd love to see Michael Curtiz's THE PERFECT SPECIMEN, which--to my knowledge--has never been shown on TCM. Does anyone know if a print still exists in the Turner library?

 

[Danny Burk]

Back in the 80s, it could be rented from Films, Inc. on 16mm, and I can't imagine that WB doesn't own 35mm material. I likewise don't remember that TCM has ever run it; perhaps some sort of rights problem has cropped up in the past 20-odd years?

 

[Ron68]

I was very happy with Vol. 1 and I'm looking forward to this one. I think I've only seen a few of these movies and I've enjoyed all of his movies that I've seen so far, Flynn is fast becoming one of my all time favourite actors. I love the Warner Night at the Movies features on their discs, too bad Dive Bomber doesn't have it.

Quote from Ron68

The number of classic films Flynn starred in from 1935 to 1949 is almost unprecedented. There are lots of stars who are remembered for 2 or 3 films, or even half a dozen. Flynn appeared in at least a dozen classics in that period. Amazing.

very good news indeed

Count me in

 

[Corey]

you forgot cry wolf, but that might be in the stanwyck set

 

[John Morgan]

Also forgot MARA MARU, but that might be in a Raymond Burr set.

 

[Corey]

LMAO at a raymond burr set. if that's the case maybe they'll do a spring byington set.

 

[Jefty]

while we're at it, I'd like to see sets devoted to:

Priscilla Lane
Edward Arnold
Anne Shirley
Ruby Keeler
Ann Dvorak
Joan Blondell
Peter Lorre (starting with Three Strangers)

and

Frank McHugh (starting with Three Men on a Horse)

 

[Steve...O]

I'm still holding out for the Edna Mae Oliver Signature Collection myself.

And will someone please tell me why Allen Jenkins hasn't gotten his box set yet??

 

[John Hodson]

Art now up at DVD Times

 

[Charles H]

How about The Complete Byron Foulger and Bess Flowers in slim-cases?

(And I believe that THE ADVENTURES OF CAPTAIN FABIAN (co-written by Flynn) is owned by Lions Gate via Republic...)
