I would love a Jane Powell or June Allyson set but I doubt that will happen! I am excited for that Eleanor Powell set. I thought that would never happen!
THE RITZ absolutely needs to be released on DVD. Rita Moreno, Jerry Stiller, Kaye Ballard and Treat Williams are all still around and would probably provide a great commentary track. I would buy it in a heartbeat.
Some of the most important films Warner has yet to release that are not announced and are not B's are among the 20 films of Wheeler & Woolsey that they own such as Dilplomaniacs, Cockeyed Cavaliers, Hips Hips Hooray, Cracked Nuts and Peach-O-Reno.
With regards to Eleanor Powell, I would like to see "I Dood It" as it is one of the few Minnelli films I have not seen. I would also hope they would include as extras the Movie or at least an excerpt from the movie "The Great Morgan" which one of her deleted scenes was used (this is also a film I would like to see but haven't yet). Also and I am not sure of this there may be a deleted scene or alternate take of Eleanor from the Movie "The Duchess Of Idaho". For other films, I want to see more silents, I am hoping for a Lillian Gish set and a John Gilbert set. I would also like to see a "Dawn of Sound" collection like what was released on laserdisc a while ago (even if includes incomplete films with missing sequences (like "Good News") or missing the whole or partial sound track (like "Wir schalten um auf Hollywood") or even films where the audio only survives (like "The Rogue Song").
Corey, who said Ann Sheidan would have a box set next year? When I asked WB in the last chat about some of her movies. they only said that more Ann Sheridan films are coming next year. And I really don't think that means a box set dedicated to her. Maybe they will release Edge of Darkness, Silver River, George Washingtom Slept Here, Nora Prentiss and The Unfaithful in thematic boxes (film noir, classic comedies) or collections dedicated to other stars (like Errol Flynn)
