For anyone looking for Dark Waters; which has been OOP...
Image Entertainment is re-releasing this title on 09-20-05 as per DVD Empire.

Fidelity to the source should always be the goal for Blu-ray releases.

| The following Fox Film Noirs have just popped up for pre-order at DVD Empire, to be released December 6; Kiss of Death [...], Where the Sidewalk Ends [...] and The Dark Corner [....] |
The insert with the September releases lists The Dark Corner, Where the Sidewalk Ends, and No Way Out for December (which, incidentally, would give them the same lineup of directors twice in a row). Of course, the insert with the previous set listed Kiss of Death for September, so it's not exactly trustworthy.
The insert also has a rebate form -- $5 back with the purchase of three Fox film noirs, so keep your receipt.

| 2) The titles in Warners' Film Noir Collections, Vol. 3 and Vol. 4 will knock you out with how great (and smart) they are; |
I hope they feature a volume with nothing, but RKO titles starring Robert Mitchum.
| And I am very curious and excited to know which major studio this is, and which titles they are going to release. |
I think it's either Paramount or Universal. Both studios have some real gems. Paramount has some of my favorite titles.
- Dark City (1950)
- Union Station
- The Turning Point
- I Walk Alone (Like "TSLOMI" I think they still control it)
- The Big Carnival
- The File on Thelma Jordon
- Sorry, Wrong Number (An improved DVD presentation)
- Appointment with Danger

So much Noir, so little time!
For ordinary men, it's a burning, fiery furnace.

If the studio alluded to turns out to be Universal, I sure hope they don't cram a bunch of good noir titles on a set of often-faulty DVD-18 discs. They should either improve their quality control on DVD-18 manufacture, or put them on DVD-9 discs.
That fear aside, my mouth waters at the prospect of the mystery studio being either Universal, Paramount or Sony. If it turns out to be Sony, we could be looking forward to R1 releases of such films as:

My copies of The Strange Loves of Martha Ivers and Detective Story came in early. I've only watched Detective Story so far, but it looks just as good as that screenshot from Ivers.
Unfortunately, the same shipment contained a copy of Whispering City, mentioned earlier in the thread, and ye gods it looks awful, like a chalk drawing that's been partially rubbed out. That'll teach me to buy from Alpha.
