    A Few Words About A few words about...™ The Golden Year: 5 Classics Films from 1939 -- in Blu-ray

    WHEN TOMORROW COMES was released as an extra feature in the French DVD of INTERLUDE released by Carlotta. It looked nice if I recall correctly.

    International E. A. Dupont's "Variete" BD from Germany

    There are clips in the FWMS website and the music is indeed unbearable.

    The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1939) & Ninotchka BDs - 5/19

    No, you're not. I quite like it as well. And quite happy with 1930s/40s Bette Davis appearing, even if I would prefer NOW, VOYAGER or THE LETTER.

    The Classic titles of Paramount owned by Universal

    Isn't to do with the Jerry Lewis remake?

    The Classic titles of Paramount owned by Universal

    Not owned by Universal, but another Paramount title which would be most welcome is THE STORY OF TEMPLE DRAKE.

    The Classic titles of Paramount owned by Universal

    There are several DVD releases of Universal owned Paramount films in R2 not available in R1. These include I think some Dietrich and several Mitchell Leisen films with the likes of Olivia de Havilland and Claudette Colbert. Annoyingly, PRACTICALLY YOURS is still unavailable in any region or...

    TCM and Sony partnerships continues: Columbia Pre-Code Collection on 7/2/2012

    This one seems to have disappeared. A pity, as I hoped for a second volume (or some other excuse) for a release of MAN'S CASTLE and the Sturges-scripted CHILD OF MANHATTAN.

    Holy Grail of "lost" films

    It's screening in London at the British Film Institute next month.

    Holy Grail of "lost" films

    I think all of those in my list have already been mentioned. The silents and CONVENTION CITY probably top the list.

    Preston Sturges on Blu-ray

    French distributor Wild Side has announced plans for a release with five of his films (although no specifics on which ones). Source here (in French)

    WHV Announcement: Tom & Jerry Golden Collection Volume Two (Blu-ray) (DVD)

    Possibly Tex Avery's Uncle Tom's Cabana and Half-Pint Pygmy, no?

    WHV Announcement: The Big Parade (Blu-ray)

    It's one of my favourite silents. I also wish they'd consider taking SHOW PEOPLE out of the archives (ideally in a double bill with THE PATSY, but would be way too much to ask).

    Best Picture Nominees (1940's) on Blu

    There are R2 DVDs of "Hold back the dawn" in France, Spain and Italy at least.

    WHV Announcement: The Big Parade (Blu-ray)

    Has the King Vidor documentary been dropped? It's not on the back cover of DVD on Amazon.

    Shirley Temple Collection

    I am not sure where you got the $100.00, but Amazon.co.uk currently sells the PAL DVD either for £12.99 (about $20) or £6.77 (around $10.00), depending on the edition (both by Fox) plus postage to the US.

    International PAL AND OTHER-REGION DVD ANNOUNCEMENTS & REVIEWS

    Apologies if this has been mentioned. Today browsing a FNAC in Portugal found that a handful of Fox titles have been released recently under a banner of rare titles. What seems the full list is below. Most have been available elsewhere in R1 and/or R2, but at least MY COUSIN RACHEL I'm not...

    Fox is still releasing a lot of classic in Spain, never released in USA

    I haven't use them, but have you tried the international version? i.e. the +1 or 001. For example, if you are calling a London number in the UK it starts with 020 71234567. If you need to call it from abroad, it's 004420 71234567 or +4420 71234567 - note that one zero is gone. 0044 or +44 is the...

    Another Universal Backlot Series coming

    Definitely wouldn't mind owing FRENCHMAN'S CREEK, TAKE A LETTER DARLING, KITTY and a good copy of LADY IN THE DARK. The others I have from Italian or Spanish R2 releases, but I would double dip for the other 4. Or perhaps THE MATING SEASON.   Of course a Pre-Code vol 2 with loads of Miriam...

    Universal Backlot series still alive : Barbara Stanwyck on 4/27/10

    I have the Sirks in R2 but getting this nevertheless. It put a smile on my face.

    Disney Treasures: Chronological Donald 3 & 4, why "sold out" vs volumes 1 & 2?

    If the cartoons are your main interest, as opposed to the package, volume 3 has been release in R2 in France and Germany, in what seems to be general release. The DVDs should be the same except they don't have the tin, nor booklet/postcards.

    The Columbia/Sony Wishlist Thread

    Just caught CHILD OF MANHATTAN at a screening at the cinematheque in Lisbon. The print looked really good and the film is a gem - based on a Preston Sturges' play. Would love to see that released.

    The Columbia/Sony Wishlist Thread

    More screwball comedies like THIS THING CALLED LOVE which has been restored already, as per here, and anything with the likes of Barbara Stanwyck, Melvyn Douglas, Rosalind Russell, Irene Dunne, Carole Lombard and Jean Arthur that may still have lying around. I would gladly get a third and fourth...

    Fox is still releasing a lot of classic in Spain, never released in USA

    You can always try the Spanish FNAC. My experiences with them have been good, though I send them to addresses in Portugal which makes it all much easier.

    Universal and TCM's Partnership For Made-To-Order DVD

    An Italian distributor called Teodora film released a box set of Mitchell Leisen films and I have mentioned in another thread here before. I'm still hoping that Carlotta in France picks something similar and releases the two de Havilland films.

    Universal and TCM's Partnership For Made-To-Order DVD

    Even assuming that they'll ship internationally, considering Universal's track record to license titles or release them in R2 I think I'll just keep my fingers crossed and hope the titles they own I want (mostly from their Paramount library) will make it to a pressed DVD that won't cost me $20...

    Warner Archive Discussion Thread (The Announcements/The Films)

    Why was still harbouring hopes for some of these as DVD releases, is beyond me. Surely PENTHOUSE could have made it to a Forbidden Hollywood set (especially if it's one of the most requested MGM titles) and THE MORTAL STORM deserves be released somewhere... And I still can't buy them, even if I...

    Paramount Pre-1950 Films owned by Universal

    Since there is a good R2 DVD of REMEMBER THE NIGHT in Italy that came out earlier this year, I doubt that's more than a coincidence. Moreover, the box set that included the film, also included NO TIME FOR LOVE which Universal is releasing as part of the Claudette Colbert collection. So I bet...
