TAMMY TRILOGY and PORTRAIT IN BLACK
Movies Unlimited is taking pre-orders for the TAMMY TRILOGY (TAMMY AND THE BACHELOR/TAMMY AND THE DOCTOR/TAMMY TELL ME TRUE) and a Lana Turener double feature (MADAME X/PORTRAIT IN BLACK}. Release date ls 2/5. How about an Esther Williams double feature (RAW WIND IN EDEN/THE UNGUARDED MOMENT)?

Re: TAMMY TRILOGY and PORTRAIT IN BLACK
While Tammy and the Bachelor is not a classic CLASSIC, it is a guilty pleasure from my youth. Who can remember how many weeks/months Debbie Reynolds's title tune from Tammy was at the top of the music charts in 1957 ?

Re: TAMMY TRILOGY and PORTRAIT IN BLACK
I love the first TAMMY movie (not a fan of Sandra Dee's sequels) and I am SO glad we are finally going to get it on DVD!!!  Glorious news!!!
I remember a MoviesUnlimited Q & A last year, in which they said Universal had been working on those 2 Lana Turner films. Glad we are going to see them!
And I second that Esther Williams double feature - The UNGUARDED MOMENT is one of my favorite guilty pleasures of the 50s! I must have seen it a good 30 times.
DVD wish list: The Accused (48), Three Comrades (38), Waterloo Bridge (40), Margie (46), I'll Get By (50), The Constant Nymph (43), The Voice of the Turtle (47), The Barretts of Wimpole Street (34), Her Twelve Men (54), The Lost Moment (47), I Walk Alone (48), The Glass Menagerie (50), These Three (36), The Bride Wore Red (37), The Best Things in Life Are Free (56), Midnight Lace (60), Knock on Wood (53), Private Worlds (35), The Rat Race (60), Ramona (36), Lizzie (57), Every Girl Should Be Married (48), Remember the Night (40), Easy to Love (53), Born to Be Bad (50), Backfire (50), About Mrs. Leslie (54), It's a Great Feeling (49), Three Sailors and a Girl (53), Let's Be Happy (57), You Came Along (45), The Unguarded Moment (56), The Daughter of Rosie O'Grady (50), Athena (54), Johnny Guitar (54), All My Sons (48), The Purple Mask (55), Tin Pan Alley (40), The Girl from Missouri (34), The Affairs of Susan (45), Thousands Cheer (43), Pitfall (48), You Were Meant for Me (48), Music for Millions (44), I Love Trouble (48) ...

Re: TAMMY TRILOGY and PORTRAIT IN BLACK
I saw the 1st Tammy film last year and really liked it. Looks like next year, Lana will be getting her due onto dvd. Hopefully WB's set coincides with the Universal's releases.
How about a Joan Fontaine double feature of Ivy and Kiss the Blood Off My Hands.

Little Darlings (1980), My Cousin Rachel (1952), The Deep Blue Sea (1955), Ah Wilderness (1935), The White Cliffs of Dover (1944), Born to Be Bad (1950), Ivy (1947), Reckless (1935), Idiot's Delight (1939), Springtime in the Rockies (1942), The Story of Three Loves (1953), The Barretts of Wimpole Street (1934/1957), Julia Misbehaves (1948), Slightly Dangerous (1943), The Hucksters (1947), Two Faced Woman (1941), My Gal Sal (1942), The Opposite Sex (1956), Arabesque (1966), When Ladies Meet (1941), I Dood It (1943), The African Queen (1951), Autumn Leaves (1956), Star Dust (1940), A Hatful of Rain (1957)

That would make a terrific DVD - I'm a great fan of the latter especially.
Would also love to see Doris Day's MIDNIGHT LACE in R1!

Re: TAMMY TRILOGY and PORTRAIT IN BLACK
Glad to see I'm not the only one who loved Ms. Fontaine as the evil Ivy! The Lana double feature is a must-buy, and I am a fan of Sandra Dee, so I'll enjoy the Tammy set too!
Now if there can be a double feature for Jane Wyman: Magnificent Obsession / Lucy Gallant!

Re: TAMMY TRILOGY and PORTRAIT IN BLACK
I'm pretty sure we'll be seeing Midnight Lace as Doris Day's films seem to sell well.
I love when Joan Fontaine is a B-girl, so along with Ivy, hopefully WB releases Born to Be Bad.

Re: TAMMY TRILOGY and PORTRAIT IN BLACK
Since Lucy Gallant is part of the Paramount library, Universal could never release it as a double feature even if they wanted to.
Still, I'm over the moon with the Tammy And the Bachelor announcement as well as the two Turner flicks.
Since Universal is yet again giving us a double bill of the original Imitaiton Of Life and the superior Sirk remake perhaps other similar double bills are in order.
Like the Irene Dunne-Robert Taylor Magnificent Obsession paired with the Jane Wyman-Rock Hudson Magnificent Obsession or the Margaret Sullavan-Charles Boyer Back Street paired with the Susan Hayward-John Gavin Back Street.

Re: TAMMY TRILOGY and PORTRAIT IN BLACK
great news on both these releases.
The Tammy films have been on my want list ever since Universal started specifically marketing 'fanchise' collections. I'm not really familar with the Dee entries, but the set will be worth a purchase for Tammy and The Bachelor alone.
Now I'm left wondering how long it will take Warner to release the Tammy-esque Mating Season.
Debbie is long overdue for some appreciation and re-evaluation.
