I know the sales of the first set were abysmal, but it seems like Fox is gonna try again with a 2nd volume sometime soon. I got this info from Amazon and the titles say "not yet released." Some of you might say that it doesn't mean anything, but I can name a lot of titles where it said the same thing and they ended up being released shortly there after i.e The Pirate, Best Foot Forward, Easy to Wed, On An Island With You, etc. Anyways, here are the titles:
-Song of the Islands
-Sweet Rosie O'Grady
-Beautiful Blonde From Bashful Bend
and I remember Sylvia Stoddard saying she was working on The Shocking Miss Pilgrim, so that's 4 titles just like the first one.
Corey's most wanted R1 dvds:
Little Darlings (1980), My Cousin Rachel (1952), The Deep Blue Sea (1955), The White Cliffs of Dover (1944), Born to Be Bad (1950), Ivy (1947), Reckless (1935), Springtime in the Rockies (1942), The Barretts of Wimpole Street

Re: Betty Grable Collection Volume 2??
I wish Fox would release some more Grable as well. I'm not a huge fan of her movies but I know she has plenty of fans waiting for the next set. I'm dying for a dvd release of
Mother Wore Tights.
Quote:
| TIN PAN ALLEY should come also. It might come out on a future Alice Faye Collection, but the film really "belongs" to Grable. |
I disagree but I hope it comes out soon, hopefully in a another Alice Faye set. How did the first Alice Faye box set do?
Most Wanted on DVD: Little Nellie Kelly (1940), Bachelor Mother (1939), Tin Pan Alley (1940), Mother Wore Tights (1947), Easy to Love (1953), The Devil and Miss Jones (1941), Theodora Goes Wild (1936), Penelope (1966), The Opposite Sex (1956), Lovely to Look At (1952), Naughty...

Well I think it did considerably better than Grable's. Alice Faye is a singer so naturally she's gonna have her fans, like Judy or Doris. I think the price also helped alot, too. Hopefully the next set includes:
-Hello Frisco Hello
-Sing Baby Sing
-Rose of Washington Square
-Tin Pan Alley

It would be nice if Betty's daughters would participate in the next set.

And how do you get this Amazon's ranking?

Whenever you go to a product page for movies, it should have like where the studio info is.

Yeah I'm guessing it did ok, the only bad things I heard about it were how bad the color looks on
The Gang's All Here (I thought it looked ok) and some of the
On the Avenue dvds were missing their paper inserts (including mine).

Re: Betty Grable Collection Volume 2??
Count me in for both Alice Faye and Betty Grable upcoming collections!
If I could pick, I would chose the following:
Grable
Mother Wore Tights (47) - one of her very best I think
Footlight Serenade (42) - black and white and great fun
Springtime in the Rockies (42)
Call Me Mister (51)
Faye
Hello Frisco Hello (43)
Tin Pan Alley (40)
Rose of Washington Square (39)
Sally, Irene and Mary (38)
Hoping to see Alice Faye in (maybe) next wave of Temple films too, I have always loved Stowaway (36).
Sing your worries away, smile, be kind and accentuate the positive!
DVD wish list: The Accused (48), Margie (46), I'll Get By (50), The Constant Nymph (43), The Voice of the Turtle (47), The Barretts of Wimpole Street (34), Her Twelve Men (54), The Lost Moment (47), I Walk Alone (48), The Glass...

Re: Betty Grable Collection Volume 2??
Is volume 2 ever going to come???? I'm desperate for more Grable. I eventually bought Vol. 1 a couple months ago without seeing any of the movies and I really enjoyed it! Were the sales really that bad?

I think the problem was that Fox priced their sets too high during this period a few years back. The set would've sold much better with a lower msrp. I've heard that a vol-2 was coming, so it'll likely be priced in line with other similar box collections today.
More Harlow on DVD Now! - Red Dust, Bombshell, Hold Your Man, Saratoga, The Iron Man, Goldie, The Secret Six, Beast of the City, Three Wise Girls, Reckless, Personal Property, Riff-raff, Suzy & Girl from Missouri

With My Blue Heaven on TCM last night I still couldn't help but wonder if Fox will ever release another box set again? Did the first set really sell that poorly? If they can release another Alice Faye set they sure can release another Grable set!

This is one of the most asked about and wanted sets out there. Whether the first set sold well or not, Fox as stated there will not be any more classic or older films released this year. They have only announced a couple of Blu-ray titles such as MASH and The Towering Inferno and have a lot of re-packaged SD titles on tap. One can only hope and wish that the vault will open again in 2010.
Fox has fallen a long way this year. Last year at this time we were looking forward to the Tyrone Power Matinee set, had the final Charlie Chan set and salivating over the proposed Murnau, Borzage and Fox collection. How sad.
