In the Sony Film Noir Thread, Mike Schlesinger said that the two Volumes of Columbia Film Noir and the Rita Hawworth Collection would be released at the same time. I will have to quite buying WA and save for these three collections along with the Four others announced by Sony and I could I forget another couple of Stooges volumes.

And 3-D! No, probably wait till they come out with a decent 3-D Blu-ray system.

According to DVDAF, the set has now a February 23rd release date.
And what about "The Lady from Shanghai"? It's on sale at Amazon with several other older Columbia Classics, like Capra's "Platinum Blonde" or "Lost Horizon". Can I buy those titles or should I wait. What would Mike S. suggest? ;)

I have no problem with the February release date, because there are several catalog titles at the end of the year and it's good to have something to look forward in 2010. I was only trying to get some information, whether Sony has some plans for a re-release of "The Lady from Shanghai" in a 2nd Hayworth-set or as part of another Noir set. I don't like to double-dip. Same with the Capra titles, because when they announced their cooperation with the Film Foundation, Capra was mentioned among several other projects, like the Castle set or the Noirs.

I don't mind waiting. :) Thanks for your answer. Keep up the good work.

We are so fortunate that the people at Sony read this forum
and take the time to read your answers.
This comes directly from Grover Crisp over at Sony....

The date on the Hayworth set was moved back to give us more time on the added value materials. That is also one reason the second Noir set was moved back, too. But the end of the year releases were getting crowded, also, so we wanted to allow each release to have its own focus by spreading them out a bit. The titles for Hayworth have not changed, and all are restored and remastered. Miss Sadie Thompson is presented 1.85, not full frame 16x9 (though not in 3-D in this box set). As to whether there will be a second volume, that probably will depend on how well the first one does, so we hope people get the first one. Lady from Shanghai is not currently planned for re-release, but will be the subject of a new restoration in the next year, so maybe at some point it will come out again (especially if people request it). These kinds of questions come up all the time and we are working to create a mechanism on the new Columbia classics-dedicated website (a work-in-progress site) so that fans can easily ask questions and get timely responses. Look for that in the near future.

I think you meant to say "Too bad they are not going to release Miss Sadie Thompson in 3-D" . The studios are waiting till a proper (1080p for each eye) Blu-ray 3-D standard is defined, probably in 2010, before they start releasing films in 3-D.
