'The Optimists' is a good Sellers film and I'm stunned it's coming at last.

I'm surprised you think the 'Shane' transfer is abysmal Marco.

Paramount owns its back library of titles dating from 1948 onwards. Pre-1948 titles are owned by Universal Pictures. As I undertstand it, Paramount could have taken all the Republic back catalogue back from Lions Gate last year but chose not to do so, aside from cherry picking certain titles like 'It's a Wonderful Life'.
