    Warner's Elvis Collection, new anamorphic Viva Las Vegas????

    Was in a local store that had the new box set on the shelf early (due next week I thought). I notice all the new to DVD releases in the box (like Speedway) are in plastic cases while Viva and Jailhouse are in cardboard snappers as with their earlier releases. Is this what it appears, same old...

    In The Good Old Summertime - another outstanding Technicolor transfer by WB

    Finally got around to viewing this last night. Seems to have that "Ultra-Resolution Process" that was given to Meet Me in St. Louis, though no mention of it anywhere or in the cover description. Whatever, highly recommended here! Wow, another amazing Technicolor transfer by Warners!

    World of Suzy Wong - Highly recommended

    If no one else has picked this up or noticed yet, this is really one of the most spectacular transfers and restorations to come from an early 60's Technicolor film (to my memory) by Paramount. Just beautiful, pick this up,in the league of North By Northwest and Written On The Wind.

    Criterion, how about these Universal titles?

    Since Criterion seems to have a relationship with Universal (Charade, Written on the Wind, All That Heaven Allows)...why not consider the following(?)- Madame X Backststreet maybe 30's and 60' version of both, but especilaly the Lana and Hayward versions in the 60's. Also and...

    OAR of Trouble With Angels?

    Went to pick this up yesterday. I'm sure this must have been widescreen (1966 release), DVD box has 1.33:1. Is this the original OAR or did they do a full frame only? Open matte maybe? Wouldn't this be unusual for Columbia (classics) releases? Always anamorphic OAR from the early days of DVD in...

    Imitation of Life released early !?

    Picked it up unexpectedly yesterday while browsing at a local retailer. I thought it was scheduled for a Feb. 4 release and have been anxious for IOL's release since it was announced. Pleasant surprise to just find it out. Any reviews yet? I will have a first chance to have a look tonight.

    Parent Trap is a WONDERFUL transfer

    Saw Parent Trap over the weekend (the original, 1 of the 4 Disney Vault Series released last week). I was surprised to read another thread started by a member expressing disappointment! The quality of this vintage transfer IMHO is in the league of North By Northwest, very filmic and...

    Zhivago ending- WARNING CONTAINS SPOILER

    DON'T READ UNLESS YOU'VE SEEN THE MOVIE!!! Regarding the end of Dr. Zhivago, when Uri sees who he thinks is Lara, is it Julie Christie or a double? Did Lean intend this to be Lara or an unanswered question that leaves the audience wondering. We mostly see her walking from the back. As the...

    Halloween movie/reference quality DVDs?

    I'd like some good horror movie/ reference quality DVD suggestions for a Halloween movie party I am having this weekend. Horror is not typically my genre. So far I have the new restored Exorcist. Need one or two more. Also I have Rocky Horror, but that is one what I showed last year. Doesn't...

Also, if anyone can provide an update regarding the status of I Love Lucy being released on DVD by Paramount, not through...
