Just checked HEY FOLKS, IT'S INTERMISSION TIME on IMDb. It appears to be filler that appeared between double bills at drive-ins.

Any thoughts on when the next big Kino sale will be? Not the current Cohen Media Sale. I'm guessing April or May.

CAST RECORDINGS on Facebook is reporting that PAINT YOUR WAGON will be released by Kino on 3/26, but no confirmation from Kino. Anyone know if this is correct?

Studio deals.

What are the sources from which Kino is now drawing its releases? And as a follow up, which of the sources would include silent movies and pre-Code talkies? Obviously I'm hoping the releases this years will include such films.

At the top of the Sale Info it says "Up to 3". So I entered 3 and the code and it was accepted. But then no matter how many times I checked to make sure I had everything filled in it wouldn't accept the order. I guess they're still working out the bugs, so with any luck maybe tomorrow ...

Same problem. I tried all possible variations on Newsletter. Guess I'll wait for them to contact me. I did take down all 14 I'd listed to order, just to be safe!

Chiming in again with a wish for more of the silents that I understand have complete new scores. This would include THE FOUR HORSEMEN, THE STUDENT PRINCE IN OLD HEIDELBERG, THE CROWD, GREED, THE MERRY WIDOW and any Lon Chaney.

The 1984 production with Jason Robards as Grandpa and Colleen Dewhurst as the Grand Duchess was also filmed and aired on Great Performances. I saw it on Broadway the night Colleen made an entrance a couple scenes too soon. That didn't bother Robards. He just smiled and went on with his speech.

A few more good savings on Amazon for recent Warner Archive Blu Rays: HELEN OF TROY 14.40 KING SOLOMON'S MINES 13.99 CHRISTOPHER STRONG 14.99 PLUS a 20% off Coupon which brings it down to 11.99!

Of course it started out as the title of the Richard Rodgers ballet from the 1936 Broadway musical ON YOUR TOES.

All four titles are available for very little on eBay, if you're looking to buy.

My understanding, from comments on the Warner Archive page, is that we can expect a Blu Ray in 2024. I'm keeping my fingers crossed on this one!

Wondering the same thing. Was last sale in January or February?

Wow! What a great line-up. And it would appear that this leaves AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS as the only Best Picture Oscar winner not to have a Blu Ray release, yes? (There's an Australian Blu Ray of CODA.)
