'Lifeboat' has not only been announced, but released in a very good 'Region A' compatible version. Just check out 'jbhifi.com.au' and ignore the obligatory notices that it's a Region B release. It's not. It's region-free.Mikey1969 said:I'm glad this is coming, especially restored, but frankly would rather see films like Suspicion, Lifeboat, The Wrong Man or even Mrs. and Mrs, Smith being announced.
Agree...this Australian release used the same transfer that Masters of Cinema used and it is indeed region free. I am very pleased with my copy.AnthonyClarke said:'Lifeboat' has not only been announced, but released in a very good 'Region A' compatible version.

Yes, agreed!AnthonyClarke said:The Amazon pre=order is a ridiculous price but I've pre-ordered in the hope it'll drop between now and May. If not, I can always cancel .....
Cohen titles are pricey. Hangmen Also Die started at this same price, came down to $27.99 on street date.AnthonyClarke said:The Amazon pre=order is a ridiculous price but I've pre-ordered in the hope it'll drop between now and May. If not, I can always cancel .....
Anthony, as a fellow Aussie (across the continent in WA), I too order in a lot from Amazon US and UK. I try to offset the high shipping costs, which can sometimes exceed the item price, by ordering several items at once, as the shipping costs increase at smaller steps for each additional item. This works fine, until I have to cancel an item (such as a pre-order like Jamaica Inn if the price doesn't drop meaningfully before release). Do you come across this issue too, and if so have you found a good way around it?AnthonyClarke said:The Amazon pre=order is a ridiculous price but I've pre-ordered in the hope it'll drop between now and May.

Please share your thoughts once Young and Innocent arrives. I've held back ordering so far due to the differing reports of the Network Blu-Ray transfer. It's certainly one of my favourite Hitchcocks - along with Sabotage!Dick said:Probably a good thing that I find JAMAICA INN a dull, over-acted and generally uninteresting title (as I do UNDER CAPRICORN). I await YOUNG AND INNOCENT (en route to me) and SABOTAGE (coming soon). The Warner Bros. holdouts (THE WRONG MAN, STAGE FRIGHT, I CONFESS and MR. AND MRS. SMITH) have had HD masters, but just haven't shown up yet. Maybe Warner Bros. will do a box set...?
