Does anyone know when the Barnes and Noble sale will start? I will be getting at least this, Gold Rush, and Anatomy of a Murder. Also, could someone please tell me which Hitchcock's Criterion will be doing on Blu-ray.
They've already done "The Lady Vanishes" on blu-ray, and the sale for Barnes & Noble begins sometime in July, so you have more than a month to prepare your savings for whatever you decide to order by then...good hunting!!!Robert Kilbride said:Does anyone know when the Barnes and Noble sale will start?

FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT actually belongs to the Caidin Trust, administered by Westchester Films (formerly Castle Hill). They did previously have a licensing deal with WB, but that has since expired. Criterion has already picked up STAGECOACH from them, so it makes perfect sense that this is forthcoming as well.Ratko Mladic said:@ david steigman
Where did you here that about Foreign Correspondent being licensed by Criterion?Just a rumour on the street or...?It's a WB title,so i still doubt it will happen.
TCM recently showed this in HD and it looked very good indeed. The opening only showed Caiden Trust and no WB or Criterion logos. If it's WB then hopefully we'll see a box set soon.Mark Edward Heuck said:FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT actually belongs to the Caidin Trust, administered by Westchester Films (formerly Castle Hill).

Other titles owned by the Caidin Trust that we could see as Criterion releases (one hopes anyway) are Rene Clair's I MARRIED A WITCH and Ernst Lubitsch's TO BE OR NOT TO BE.
Never listen to that guy.david steigman said:I didnt hear it, I read about it from Travis in his post right above mine
Read these posts on their website and say that again.TonyD said:^ it wasnt HD TCM doesn't air anything in actual HD yet.
I don't see anything in those posts to indicate that TCM is actually broadcasting high-def transfers.mikeyhitchfan said:Read these posts on their website and say that again.

It seemed to me that they are broadcasting 1080i. I have seen transfers that look crappy and blurry on there, so I'm guessing that when I see a stellar looking crisp print from a 1940 film that looks better than my upconverted DVD that it's HD. I may be wrong but I don't want to hijack this thread with the discussion.Jeff Newcomb said:I don't see anything in those posts to indicate that TCM is actually broadcasting high-def transfers.

One more question (it's a bit off topic,i know):What's the current status of Kazan's America America and Baby Doll?Are these two still with WB?Maybe Criterion could licence both...
