This is one of my favorite comedies.

 

One scene in particular has a remarkably long, sustained take of Harold quietly reacting while his mother does a slow burn behind him.  It's really a gem of sustained acting and directing, all within a single moment.

One of my favorite movies of all time and the film my wife and I watched on our first date. She still recommends it to people.

Wow. Do we know why? I guess it doesn't matter - just curious.

I'm guessing they have a technical issue to work out. The original release is about a month away, which is usually about the time the final QC is being done on a disc.

Nope - the press release just says there's been a delay and "sorry for the inconvenience"...

Wait a tic... isn't there usually a Barnes and Noble Criterion sale in June? Or is it July and November and not June and November?

Maybe the delay will allow for the original trailers to be included. They were previously on the bare-bones Paramount disc, it would be nice to have them ported over.

DVDBeaver's review is up, and it looks like the trailers aren't there:

That's sad to hear. Luckily, I found someone dumping the old Paramount version and I got it cheap. Best of both worlds.
