They might not be the best of Newman's movies, but they certainly deserve to be released on DVD!

Some people are not reading the WHOLE press release :

| The vast Warner library holds even more Newman films including such favorites as The Prize, The Rack and Until They Sail, and Newman fans can look forward to those on DVD in the not-too-distant future. |

Re: WHV Press Release: More Paul Newman Films on DVD
dear Warner home Vid.Thank you for waiting an entire month to post some art for this series - so so art laid in white frames. the art for silver Chalice completely misses all of the spectacle of the film as did the art for Quo Vadis.
Do we wait another month for some real specs ?
Is Silver Chalice really the uncut 142 min version. Wil it be 4.0 sound or the usual 2.0 mixdown? Will we at leat get trailers for these films.
Warners, if you are listening, what about your other upcoming classics. Dow we get any extras for goodbye, Mr. Chips. Far form the Madding Crowd (what kind of sound for those two films) , any trailers for the Warner Romance Collection.
We have been your faithful customers - let us in on the secrets.

Yeah, the Paul Newman branded cover art is a bit strange.But not as strange as the lack of a boxed set :-(

due to my post last night, a friend tippped me to Amazon, which now shows not only the front cover, but the back cover for Silver Chalice.The back cover shows NO EXTRAS, 5.1 sound. The film is not the announced uncut 142 min version, but the stnadard 135 min version of the film.

But I doubt that will have any extras.

Re: WHV Press Release: More Paul Newman Films on DVD
Just reading some of the responses here, I am flabbergasted as to why The Prize, The Rack, Paris Blues and Until They Sail (far superior films) weren't released first.I will purchase Rachel, Rachel and The Helen Morgan Story, but the other three come under 'camp classics'. I don't understand why they were not put in a boxset and sold a little cheaper.
P.S My wife thanks Warner Bros for the stunning artwork

The funny thing is, often popular films were printed so many times that they need more work to look good compared to less popular films which have well preserved elements already.

Re: WHV Press Release: More Paul Newman Films on DVD
Whats with having no extras... not even a trailer. Warner always seems to include at least a trailer. That isn't like them.I dunno Warner has been a little disappointing lately with their classic releases for 2009 so far.
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...

I just don't understand why they didn't include these films and Cool Hand Luke in a new boxed set.
I wonder if that was there initial intention but some of the titles were delayed.

DVDPacific shipped my copies of these new Newman films.I only ordered three of them. If they put them in a box I would've bought that.

Re: WHV Press Release: More Paul Newman Films on DVD
I picked up a copy of "When Time Ran Out" early. It has a beautiful widescreen transfer and the movie is every bit as entertaining as I remember it, despite the bad special effects. There is no trailer. This flick doesn't need a phlethora of extras but couldn't they at least include the trailer? These type of bone-dry DVDs shouldn't cost any more than ten bucks. Oh well

Luisito34: While I don't find the film as entertaining as you do, I agree that a DVD without a trailer, at the least, shouldn't be more than $10. I mean, really! Since when are scene selections or English subtitles considered to be "special features"?

If you don't mind me asking Simon, which titles did you go for?
On another tangent, DVDPacific seems to be taking their sweet time sending my DVDs to me. I ordered the Errol Flynn westerns with Priority International(they were in stock at time) and they took over a month to get to Adelaide (I moved from Hobart three months ago). Normally they get in in just over a week.

I have had exactly the same issue with slow shipments so far this year. I received the Michael Powell set last Wednesday that was shipped from the U.S. on 23rd of December! I was almost certain it was lost.
I contacted them and they assured me that they are sending things out using exactly the same postal method, so it must be strange happenings in the U.S. postal system, or in Australia post.

Re: WHV Press Release: More Paul Newman Films on DVD
CineKarine - must warn you that mr. ericksons reviews are usually unreliable about picture and sound quality.even in his rundown of the story he gets things wrong- has he seen the film?
Says that Paul Newmans character converts when he drinks fron the cup - not true, Paul Newman NEVER drinks from the cup. Says the Virginia May character is married to Jack Palance. She most certainly is NOT married to him.
Too bad Warners didn't include the original trailer.
Warners press release promised the original 142 minute version of the film. What we get here is the standard cut 135 minute version.
The trailer has some of the scenes that are now missing.

I know, I just linked this for anyone wanting to know more about the film. I saw it once, and that enough for me! I am not at all into the "epics" from the 50s.
