Yes, it was. An exciting festival.

You are right. I think that is the reason why they licensed out the titles to Turbine Media - it is really a rather small company in Germany - but all of the DVDs and BDs that Turbine has released so far are very well-done quality releases. So here is hoping.

I would love to have "Last Valley" on BD. I once watched it in Karlsruhe, Germany, during their Cinerama Widescreen Festival. The print was terrible faded... but what an even! And yes, the DVD is indeed a disaster!

Hi everybody, I just wanted to let you know that Turbine Media is going to release "The Invisible Man" Complete Collection on Blu Ray later this year. It seems that the box set will include all 5 Invisible Man movies, as well as "Abbott and Costello meet the Invisible Men". What a nice...

Mark, I've just checked for you on my US Playstation 3. I am sorry to report that the disc is indeed "Region B" locked. What a pity!

Hi everybody, today, my "Captain Lightfoot" ("Wenn die Ketten brechen") Blu Ray arrived from amazon.de. The disc is housed in a very nice digibook and is part of Koch Media's "Masterpieces of Cinema" Collection. Please keep in mind that I am not an expert when it comes to evaluating video...

Dear fellow members, I would like to ask some important questions regarding Fox catalog titles. During the last months, I have read several posts on this forum that hinted at the fact that something terrible happened to the original camera negatives of many classic movies at Fox in the 1970s...

OK guys, I really hate doing reviews of picture quality, as I am no expert when it comes to reviewing discs, and I do not have the older DVDs as a reference. For what it's worth... I am watching on a 50' Panasonic Plasma (THX-Certified). I believe that Koch Media - as it is the case with other...

Greeting from Germany, I just wanted to let you know that I have just purchased two Fox Western Classics on Blu-Ray disc: "The Ox-Bow Incident" (Henry Fonda, Anthony Quinn) and "Yellow Sky" (Gregory Peck, Richard Widmark) They were released by Koch Media; a studio that has aquired the rights to...

I sincerely hope that they release the next batch of titles with progressively enhanced transfers. It does make a difference and - as Warner really wants to give us the best quality available when it comes to this Archive Collection -I hope they might at least consider it.

@ John Hodson John, I take it "Captain Nemo" is anamorphic widescreen? Could you please verify?

I was wondering..... some titles in the Archive Collection show the following specs: 16X9 Full Frame. Could that mean that the titles are not anamorphic?

Oh.... ... and the thread by RAH about the recall of both "The Longest Day" and "Patton" is missing, too! AW

I have been wondering the same thing. What happened here? AW

Matt, you are right. Here's an excerpt from a transcript of an interview with George Feltenstein conducted by Robert A. Harris: (www.thedigitalbits.com) GF: ... We worked very hard to reconstruct the entire film without having to depend exclusively on the CRI, but had to use it as a basis...

I've ordered my copy from www.hidefdvd.com and it shipped yesterday! I am sooooo looking forward to this title! Can't wait!

Thank you Marco for your reply. ...but what about those lobby cards.... could anybody please confirm if lobby cards are included?

Thank you, Mr. Kane, for your nice review. My copy is on the way and I'm looking forward to watching it soon!

Hi! I was just wondering if anyone of you has already received his copy of the anniversary collection. Could you please confirm if the covers use the original poster art? Do the DVDs contain lobby cards? Thank you!

Thank you, Mr Harris, for your thoughts about the new Betty Grable Collection. Your comments are very much appreciated. One questions about this set, though: Is it true that the four titles continue the trend of having a set of lobby cards? (The first wave of Marquee Musicals did have them!)

Here are the specs of the UK Rogers and Hammerstein 12-DVD Collection: Enjoy!;) Carousel: 50th Anniversary Collector's Edition: Audio commentary from Shirley Jones and music consultant Nick Redman Liliom: the 1934 French feature film of the story that was the basis for Carousel (116 mins)...
