Frank Sinatra MGM Movie Legends Collection

Any proper specs about "Frank Sinatra MGM Movie Legends Collection" set (The Manchurian Candidate / Guys and Dolls / The Pride and the Passion / A Hole in the Head / Kings Go Forth)

http://www.amazon.com/Sinatra-Legend...5056555&sr=1-7

Basically:
*The Manchurian Candidate = SE?
*Guys and Dolls = Deluxe Edition?
*The Pride and the Passion = Still non-Anamorphic?
*A Hole in the Head = R2/R4-releases are Anamorphic. Is R1?
*Kings Go Forth = Still non-Anamorphic?

If these all are old releases and not even e.g. SE/Deluxe Edition-releases, I have to say that this is a pretty lame package. I love Sinatra, so I can always hope..

The Pride and the Passion has been showing up on HD movie channels, so there is really no excuse to re-release a non-anamorphic version. Let's hope they are above that sort of thing.

They still need to fix the framing problem on Guys and Dolls.

One review here (not very good one...):

I guess this is just a cheap re-packaging, just like the similar "Elvis: MGM Movie Legends Collection"-set (which has three, old non-Anamorphic-releases out of 4!). Shame on you MGM..

MGM really take the piss at times. Hurry up with a remastered SE of The Apartment already. They really seem to just pick and choose which of their notorious non-anamorphic discs will be remastered when they reissue stuff. I was surprised when the 1978 Invasion of the Body Snatchers (a firm fave of mine) was announced as a SE. Then I heard of the Nicole remake.
