a BOWERY BOYS collection-Volume 1
2 Leslie Caron musicals-Lili and Glass Slipper
2 Susan Hayward titles- Ada and I Thank a Fool

WOW What Warner Archives does for the classic collector!

There goes my bank account!

*SIGH*

Still no Best Picture Noms...

No horrors for October? Really...?

Philo Vance, that means some William Powell - maybe we will get a great release of the Kennel Murder Case, The Benson Murder Case & some other Vance Mysteries...a lot of actors played Philo Vance, but Im a William Powell fan

Is it against the rules to name WHICH retailer it was?
That does count as an official announcement if the retailer is taking pre-orders
I'd bet some of those will be pressed discs.

They're finally releasing Wheeler and Woolsey's comedies to DVD? Interesting.

They've previously released 7 titles by Wheeler and Woolsey, 4 earlier this year and 3 a couple years ago. I only have two, I have some catching up to do.
I'm really happy the bowery Boys are finally coming hopefully its a 12 movie set so we only need 4 volumes.

Hope the Harlow titles get bundled into some kind of set or they will be too expensive for me.

This morning the two Susan Hayward titles are up for order and the two Leslie Caron titles are for pre-order next week. Hoping there are a few more titles for this week and next week and others. Perhaps the Gable/Harlow will be a three disc collection.

I wonder if the Wheeler and Woolsey set is a repackaging of the seven existing titles with two new ones? I have several of the titles already, but I'm really hoping for Hips, Hips, Hooray and The Cuckoos.

According to the artwork the Wheeler and Woolsey package contains the following titles:
Half Shot at Sunrise
Hook, Line and Sinker
Cracked Nuts
Caught Plastered
Hold 'Em Jail
Hips, Hips, Hooray
The Nitwits
Mummy's Boys
High Flyers

Don't forget a 9-title Monogram Cowboy Collection, Volume 4 listed at Critic's Choice

Update: Movies Unlimited now has Ronald Reagan's That Hagen Girl w/Shirley Temple and The Voice of the Turtle w/Eleanor Parker up for pre-order for the same day as The Girl From Jones Beach.
Also Philo Vance Collection is now listed for April 2013 and the Wheeler & Woolsey Collection for February 2013.
The Bowery Boys Collection Volume 1 is scheduled for the end of November and 12 titles are listed......so I guess there will be 4 volumes. The titles are from 1946/1949/1950/1951/1952.

Ouch ! This is going to be an expensive fall. Bowery Boys,Philo Vance and the Reagan films are all on my radar .

THE VOICE OF THE TURTLE is an unsung delight, with one of Reagan's best performances. (Eleanor Parker was always good, and underrated.) For some reason (obscurity I guess) it's never mentioned in the same breath as KING'S ROW or THE HASTY HEART, but it should be.

Eve Arden has a showy role in this one too. When TCM runs it, it's billed as ONE FOR THE BOOK.

Does movies unlimited ship to canada?

They ship worldwide. They actually have a special shipping rate for Canada, which costs more than domestic US but less than international.
For Canada there is a base charge of $6 per order and an additional $2 per item (so one item would cost $8)
They charge you in US dollars and you can only pay by credit card or international money order.

Thanks for the heads up Richard, I apprecaite it. Guess I'll pre-order Bowery and prey for pressed discs. :s
