I was under the impression that Fox had lost the rights to "The Enemy Below" in R1. Have they reacquired them?

Excellent wish lists folks! I'll start working on adding them shortly.

Quote:
Sunrise is not out of print as it can be found in the Studio Classics Boxset along with How Green Was My Valley, Gentleman's Agreement, and All About Eve.
Technically speaking, Sunrise is OOP as Fox not only stopped pressing this title, but has no current plans to release it as a standalone DVD.

Where did you get info on How to Steal a Million?!! Ive been crying for that title forever.
I would tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.

That is an excellent question. I'll try and get confirmation on this rumor. Even if Fox required the rights (or have plans to) I still would think they would market it as one of their 'War Classics' titles and not as one of their 'Studio Classics'.

We have re acuired the rights to The Enemy Below and it will be a FoxWar Classics.

Film Noir will be coming to DVD this year, in a series similar to the Studio Classics line. It will not debut until much later in the year. It will follow a similar release pattern as long as sales hold up.

Thanks for your patience and interest,

Peter

Great! I hope "The Enemy Below" will have some extras. I'm looking forward to the Film Noir series too! Any word on titles in the series when available will be greatly appreciated. Thanks a million Peter!
