It is now has a MSRP of $39.98 instead of $49.99 as previously
mentioned. Amazon currently has it for $27.99.

That is more like the Warner pricing I am used to.

Those who stated the press release was incorrect were right.

Re: Warners / TCM Archives: Forbidden Hollywood Collection Vol.1 in December

I bought this set today.

It's a small goof, but something I just noted: the Forbidden Hollywood collection is 3 movies on 2 disks. Disk 1 holds Red Headed Woman and Waterloo Bridge, and disk 2 holds Baby Face.

The disk labels show pictures from the movies, and these match the movies that are supposed to be on each disk.

The disks themselves are reversed. Disk 1 is actually Disk 2, and vice versa.

Does anyone known any reviews of this set? I couldn't find anything yet.

Re: Warners / TCM Archives: Forbidden Hollywood Collection Vol.1 in December

I just watched the pre-release version of Baby Face. The image quality was generally very good, though the sound was a bit muffled.

However I think there is a minor error, I think the labeling of my discs is wrong. I thought Disc 2 was meant to have the two versions of Baby Face, however the disc I had to play was the one marked as Disc One.

Re: Warners / TCM Archives: Forbidden Hollywood Collection Vol.1 in December

I just got my copy today (wish they'd lose those stupid security tags....I hate 'em).

My disc 1, with Stanwyck's picture (listed as Disc two) plays "Red Headed-Woman" and "Waterloo Bridge", and visa versa.

I'm surprised they made this mistake (I checked and the disc 1 does play "Baby Face" - I didn't get the same program on both discs!

I haven't watched "Baby Face" yet, but I've seen it on TCM a few times and love it. Why didn't they simply insert the cut pieces into the better print and only offer one version?

Also, ditto on my dieing for "Convention Girl", but please add Mae Clarke's other tour-de-force......"NIGHT WORLD"! What a wonderful, naughty little film that one is. It's got everything; Mae Clarke, Lew Ayers, Boris Karloff playing quite a different villian type and it's even got a Busby Berkeley number in it!!!!

Also, don't forget Bette Davis' "Ex-Lady".

If WB is gonna make this a series, than there's plenty of pre-code goodies for them to choose from.

Has anybody else gotten the disc with the artwork transposed?

Re: Warners / TCM Archives: Forbidden Hollywood Collection Vol.1 in December

I would love a continuation of this series. Mine should be arriving soon. Lately I've been on a 1930s kick, having gotten the two recently-released Cary Grant boxsets. Awesome stuff. Those were the days

Yes, mine was as was that of several other people I know who bought the set. Pretty poorly executed release all the way around if you ask me.

Re: Warners / TCM Archives: Forbidden Hollywood Collection Vol.1 in December

Just thought it was was worth noting that the copy I bought from Amazon just a few weeks ago does not have mislabeled or reversed disks. Everything matches.

While I'm happy that the second pressing has the disc graphics correctly matched to the content, I'm even more happy that there was, in fact, a second pressing. This means that the title is selling, and we will likely see more volumes in the series.

Of course, we heard as much in the Warner chat, but a little reinforcment never hurts.

I remember whenever I would try to get this on deepdiscount, it kept selling out for like the first month.

What makes these so special ?

Re: Warners / TCM Archives: Forbidden Hollywood Collection Vol.1 in December

Oh I have seen all of these films, and I can assure you even if only a half of these titles are included, it would easily surpass the first box (even with that set's 2 versions of Baby Face.)

Night Nurse in particular features a very pre-code Clark Gable as the malevolent chauffeur dressed in black. Barbara Stanwyck is the lead, and Joan Blondell co-stars. The Divorcee is Norma Shearer in her pre-code Oscar-winning best performance. All are very adult films, and incredibly entertaining.

Re: Warners / TCM Archives: Forbidden Hollywood Collection Vol.1 in December

EX-LADY with Bette Davis is a remake of ILLICIT (and it was made only two years later). It would make an interesting addition.
post #53 of 60

Re: Warners / TCM Archives: Forbidden Hollywood Collection Vol.1 in December

I haven't seen Female, Illicit, or Night Nurse. The latter is especially intriguing cause I hear Barbara gets roughed up pretty bad.

Speaking of Ex-Lady it would be nice to have a set of Bette's early roles. A handful were released on VHS like:

-Cabin in the Cotton
-Ex Lady
-That Certain Woman
-Bordertown
-Front Page Woman
-Bureau of Missing Persons

I'm waiting for "Three on a Match"..

Re: Warners / TCM Archives: Forbidden Hollywood Collection Vol.1 in December

I've wanted to see A Free Soul for a long time for Lionel Barrymore's Oscar-winning performance. Looks like another winner.

Re: Warners / TCM Archives: Forbidden Hollywood Collection Vol.1 in December

I was really hoping that Private Lives would make the cut this time around, but I'm looking forward to having any more Norma Shearer on DVD.

Re: Warners / TCM Archives: Forbidden Hollywood Collection Vol.1 in December

Looking forward to all of these and hoping MIDNIGHT MARY (33) will be in one of the next volumes.

I'd buy any of the early 30s Davis films (not to mention any of the Cagney, Blondell, Robinson, Muni, etc. vehicles released by Warners during this same period!), but the early Davis movie that I want most of all is William Dieterle's Fog Over Frisco, which has such an immense reputation with cineastes (allegedly a major inspiration for A Bout de Souffle, etc...)

why haven't they ever released it?
