I In actuality, the circumstances are not exactly as you perceive. One of WB archives' earliest 'remastered' titles ( from the era of the red banded header on the packagng) was the Mnogram noir "Violence" ( Great little gem BTW) and that title is in their private beta in HD. Mexican Spitfire...

RED DUST gets a wonderful review from RAH...but it's on the Blu-ray page here. For those interested that don't frequent that page, it makes for great reading!

That would have made too much sense!

Have to heartily concur with your comments. The quality on the Monogram Cowboy releases has been outstanding, almost revelatory. This lets us know how Monogram films CAN look, and I share you hope that the Bowery Boys get the same TLC.

For whatever it's worth, it was clarified on another chat board that the WB Insider Rewards program was related to the studio's website overall, and all the products that were sold on that site. Insider Rewards wasn't directly tied to the Warner Archive operation, nor part of that specific...

THE LAS VEGAS STORY is a hoot. Worth purchasing just for the Las Vegas location footage....and Jane Russell. :D

I received my two-parts of "The Lieutenant" this weekend, and have to say that the release is a first-class knockout. I had not seen most of the episodes of this series ( I think I had caught one or two on cable a long time ago ), so this was a somewhat of a blind-buy for me based on the...

I couldn't agree more. I purchased the silent version of "Scaramouche" from the Warner archive on a whim, at the same time I bought the color remake. I hadn't seen the silent version, and thought it would be interesting to compare the two. I was transfixed by the earlier version, particularly by...

I had bought the UK disc of "Lisztomania", and was unaware that although the description on the website said 'widescreen', the disc turned out to be 4x3 letterbox....and not the 16x9 one would expect. It was identical to the laserdisc I had gotten in the '90s. A total waste of money. I'm...

TCM made a huge misstep with this bungled release. I recorded "Female On The Beach" on my TiVO late last year, when it ran on Cinemax in HD with titles at 1.66, and the rest of the film at 1.77. Maybe this was just a sloppy error on their part, because someone involved had to have been aware...

MAISIE is a delight, I must agree. This is a great set, and I hope the wait isn't too long until we get the rest of them.

Amen to that! The WB folks are doing some truly outstanding work. The preview clips on their site for both 13 Women and Blessed Event look superb. I just ordered both along with Untamed...yet another guilty pleasure.

WB's new RHAPSODY IN BLUE is revelatory in its high quality. I'm lovin' this DVD. But if you want to see a quality sample, go to Warner Archive's website and click on the clip available on the product page. http://www.wbshop.com/Rhapsody-In-Blue/1000252578,default,pd.html?cgid=ZARCHIVEALL-BEST...

I was very pleased with the quality of the Andy Hardy discs. I had them on my TiVO from TCM airings, and compared them after the DVDs arrived, and they are all SIGNIFICANTLY better than what is shown on TCM, both in terms of picture AND sound.The latter is particularly notable in ANDY HARDY...

I couldn't agree more with Rob.... The Warner Archive releases have grown increasingly more impressive, with the only downside being the way they have depleted my bank account with my buying too many of them during the recent sales. I applaud the work those folks are doing, and look forward to...
