Anyone knows anything about Wuthering Heights (1939)? I have still to see this movie and have waited ten years to buy it. Missed out when originially released back in 1997 on DVD and it has been discontinued since.

You know it's available in the UK (R2/PAL) and on sale for the equivalent of about $11. They remove VAT for US buyers and you can use your Amazon account info

It's better than waiting for MGM US to get their act together (and the disc itself looks great!).

Re: Wuthering Heights (1939) Any updates?

I have the most recent TCM airing on my DVR and intend to burn my own DVD-R of it from that.

I did that with The Count of Monte Cristo (1934) and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty recently, since no good Region 1 DVDs of those seem to be imminent. I had the original HBO DVD of Mitty but sold it for big bucks after it went OOP. I figured it would be re-released in short order but it's been many years waiting. The TCM recordings look fine in the meantime (I capture the DVR recording digitally via firewire to a .ts file and burn on my iMac from that), as long as you don't mind the periodic TCM.com logo, which isn't too bad.

This and THE HURRICANE (John Ford, 1937) were released on Samuel Goldwyn DVD's a long time back, and have not been released since. Each had an isolated score and trailer. I long to see full restorations of these, with commentaries and, hopefully again, the original extras.

Anyone looking for updates can start breathing again, for Wuthering Heights and The Hurricane are part of the MGM library and are locked up tight with all the other great films that deserve a good release.  I think it is more likely for the Mayan Calendar to be correct and the world will end in 2012 than see MGM release these titles before then.
