Any News About the Fox Marquee Musicals Series
Fox is releasing a bunch oh musicals in UK in September, including 4 titles that were never released on dvd in USA: On the Avenue, The Gang's All Here, Second Fiddle and Sun Valley Serenade.
Does it mean that, in R1, we could have Alice Faye and Sonja Henie Collections, just like the Betty Grable one just released?
This would be a real treat. I am very curious to know what the future reserves for this incredible series.

Re: Any News About the Fox Marquee Musicals Series
Many Fox musicals have been released a few months ago in France, they include "Can-Can" (Walter Lang) and "Sun Valley Serenade", I am sure Fox willl release the other musicals like "Gang's All Here" and "on the Avenue" in the US soon.
It seems that strategy is different in Europe, for example, "Mogambo" is now available in the US but I bought the same version here in Belgium (same disc, same cover) in december 2004. Other major films I bought a long time ago in France is "Marie Walewska" (a great Garbo" film), "Moonfleet", "Picture of Dorian Gray", all these titles are still unavailable in America.

Are these being released under the "Fox Classics" banner?
I was hoping Fox U.K. would release some more early CinemaScope stuff, they released The Virgin Queen (1955) earlier this year which looks stunning, one of the best looking early 'Scope films out on DVD.

No, it's not under the UK 'Fox Studio Classics' banner, it's just called The Classic Musicals Box Set

Great to hear that , Charles;
The Shocking Miss Pilgrim, another movie that was never released on any home video format.

my blue heaven is already out in the betty grable collection. ususally when the uk gets them, they're usually down the pipeline. i saw snapshots of the newly restored virgin queen and it's stunning. on the other hand, i saw the wonderful WB print of party girl and hopefully that's coming out soon. dorian gray is set for next year. |

Re: Any News About the Fox Marquee Musicals Series
A correction to post #5: The Drew Casper commentary on THE DOLLY SISTERS mentioned THE SHOCKING MISS PILGRIM as forthcoming (as well as THE GANG'S ALL HERE, PIN-UP GIRL, MY BLUE HEAVEN). The last two suggest that the commentary was done awhile ago. MY BLUE HEAVEN is gorgeous (with a subtler palette than is normal in musicals--more like IT'S ALWAYS FAIR WEATHER). The Casper commentaries on THE DOLLY SISTERS and MY BLUE HEAVEN are both excellent: technically astute and surprisingly gossipy.
