International Odeon Entertainment - DVD distributor (1 Viewer)

[Mark Oates]

Odeon had better get its act together over the four Motos due out in May. The cover artwork on their website is intended to match the house style for the Falcon and Saint movies - right down to accrediting the movies to RKO Radio Pictures when they were made by Twentieth Century Fox.

I suspect we'll have a June release date for the four remaining Mr Moto pictures.

Mr. Moto's Last Warning (1939), The Mysterious Mr. Moto (1938), Thank You, Mr. Moto (1937) and Think Fast, Mr. Moto (1937) all have a release date of Monday 11th June (source: Play.com).

Odeon's website is now carrying updated artwork for the Motos without the blue flash and the RKO logo. I just hope they got to the printers before the covers were done.

Odeon also has "Keys of the Kingdom" on Blu-ray in September. Makes me excited about the possibility of more Fox material going HD from Odeon...
