Thanks for the review RAH.
I've been championing for YEARS to get all of Ms. Harlow's films on DVD. Myself and many others around here grew frustrated as the years went on and films like Bombshell, Red Dust & Hold Your Man never saw the light of day. It was not until about two years before the...
Well,
I'll just wait until they have their 5 for $50 or 10 for $100 sale and pick them up then. No worries. The Holiday season is almost upon us, so those who want them should be able to get them at reasonable prices at that time. That being said, since the Harlow titles have proven to be so...
I wish Warner would offer the three Harlow/Gables together as part of a package deal. If I bought these three separately, it would cost more than the Harlow box-set they released last October which included seven films.
I should add that two bonus pieces are missing from the US release:
Renoir's silent short (La petite marchande d'allumettes - 32 minutes) The Little Match Girl from 1928 (in SD PAL) & "Francoise Giroud remembers" which contains some interesting information from shooting La Grande Illusion for...
The Samuel Goldwyn always gives out beautiful glossy programs on coated paper - I always save them. The one for Sleeping Beauty last week was also a keeper.
I can't way to see the forthcoming programs for 2001 and Spartacus next month!
The screening itself was fantastic. The event, at tleast...
It's a pity Mr. O'Toole won't be attending the Academy screening next Thursday in person.
Aside from having the honor to have met him, I would've LOVED to have had him sign my first trade edition of Seven Pillars of Wisdom (London: Jonathan Cape, 1935). Yes, he's not the historical T.E...
I agree.
The studios are probably still using the old DVD business model. I mean, I remember Warner claiming how the Astaire/Rogers and Thin Man sets sold something like a million copies - a feat that would be barely imaginable on blu-ray, especially more so in this economic climate.
I still...
Is the market in such dire shape that Sony can't release a title like Bye Bye Birdie on it's own?:confused:
This is a pretty big catalog title, one that's consistently stocked at places like Target on dvd. I think a bare-bones release of this title at $29.95 (plus tax/shipping) or higher is a...
Jean Harlow! :P
I love the other ladies included in this collection as well, but I've been waiting for an official release of Three Wise Girls for years.
I agree. I think we'll see MANY archive releases for these titles, but very few of them will surface on Blu IMHO. I mean, Warner still hasn't released most of their own major catalog titles on Blu such as the James Dean & the Astaire/Rogers films.
I don't know....
It's certainly fantastic news, but I've got a feeling that very few of these titles will make it to Blu. Guys and Dolls and The Best Years of Our Lives seem pretty likely, but I'm not so sure about the rest. I think 90% of them will probably end up in the Warner archives.
I was really HOPING that Criterion would've had a shot at a complete Dietrich/Von Sternberg boxset on blu-ray. As already mentioned, Universal doesn't have a very good track record with the Dietrich/Von Sternberg titles on home video. So much for that........
You telling me. I just shelled out $70 for TWO films from Twilight Time: Mysterious Island & Rapture. I did this in a show of support, but I'll likely NEVER spend this much for two films ever again - especially once you consider that both are blind buys for me. For this amount of money, Twilight...
All I can say is that Warner just keeps getting better and better with this program. This clearly shows that they care about their product and listen to their buyers, as well as seriously address lingering issues that some have raised on the HTF and on their excellent Facebook page. The Harlow...
