Please release "Twilight's Last Gleaming" (Warner Bros.?) (1 Viewer)

I don't know which studio has this title (originally
released on VHS under KEY VIDEO), but I would love
to see Twilight's Last Gleaming released to DVD.

Mark Edward Heuck · Mar 30, 2004

It was one of the last Allied Artists releases. Fox Video once had it under a Lorimar license.

It is owned by Warner Brothers.

Ronald Epstein · Mar 30, 2004

Now that is interesting.

I'll re-edit the thread title and hope Warner

gets a look at this.

It's actually good that this is owned by Warner.

A better chance it will get released as the studio

is just flooding the market with stuff like this.

Bob Engleman · Mar 30, 2004

I completely agree. My VHS copy could stand being retired, and I'd welcome the opportunity to view this title in full, as opposed to momentary, wide screen.

I love this film and I wish it would soon get an appropriate dvd release.

Just contacted Warner Bros. about this title.

As is always the case, they offered an immediate and

encouraging response....

TWILIGHT is most definitely our title...

There is no immediate plan for it, but prompted by your recommendation we'll investigate the feasibility.

Yes! Thank you Ron.

Especially timely since Paul Winfield died recently.

I'd love a DVD of this film. I own the laser which is full frame but it suffers for it due to Aldrich constant use of the split screen.

I own the LD also & would love to get a DVD with some extras.

Was Vera Miles' role as the First Lady restored in any home video versions? If not, could it be restored for any future DVD edition?

Jeff_HR · Apr 7, 2004

The First Lady character was never a part of any version of this film that I've ever seen.

Jeff_HR · May 13, 2004

I really hope "By Dawn's Early Light" sells really well. Then the owners of "Twilight's Last Gleaming" might perhaps reconsider their reluctance to release the film on DVD.

Jeff_HR · May 20, 2004

Ron I have some news about "Twilight's Last Gleaming". A Japanese R2 NTSC version is available from CD Japan. But as you can see by reading the description, it is not a worthy purchase. It is Fullscreen on the full-length version (Just like my Laserdisc) & the Widescreen version is cut for some unimaginable reason by 54 minutes. I almost wet my pants when I saw the film's name in the newsletter I get from CD Japan. I was then bitterly disappointed when I read the linked page.

Ronald Epstein · May 21, 2004

That's very interesting.

I have to look and see which version I have on VHS.

I believe the 144-minute version has always been

available here.

One good thing comes out of all this....

The appearance of this DVD anywhere gives a more

hopeful sign that we are closer to a domestic release.

....besides I was able to get the personal attention

of some people at Warner Bros. to get this title into

production.

Jeff_HR · May 21, 2004

The appearance of this DVD anywhere gives a more
hopeful sign that we are closer to a domestic release.

As long as it has the proper aspect ratio & running time. I was so amazed at the 90 minute running time of the one version. I can't imagine how a person can follow the plot with 54 minutes of it missing!!! What a mess that must be. :frowning: :frowning:

Anymore news on this, it has been a year and a half?

BTW, I did buy "By Dawn's Early Light" also a good movie.

Ronald Epstein · Nov 17, 2005

John,

I am sort of surprise this title hasn't been

announced yet.

I do know for a fact Warner had been working on it.

I am guessing that it will be out in a few months.

The studio is probably waiting for the proper window

to release this DVD.

Jeff_HR · Nov 18, 2005

Thanks for the update. This has long been a desired DVD title of mine.
