    Warner Archive Discussion Thread (FEEDBACK)

    Actually, this information has been on the site all along (it applied to all of Warnershops products)...and when you click on the films it still says "Ships to US destinations only..." Well, I can wait...;)

    4 more Universal "backlot" titles on July 7, 2009

    Well, yes, it does...living in a country where a lot of people won't buy dvds unless they have subtitles, I didn't even notice them as I watched that initially...but yes, they were forced :-(

    4 more Universal "backlot" titles on July 7, 2009

    It's comforting to know, while waiting for the Warner Archive to open to us Europeans, that some films just getting their DVD release in the States, have already been issued here. Lonely Are the Brave is one such film (a fine French release), while all the films on the upcoming Jack Lemmon...

    Elvis Announcement?

    Within the Elvis fan circles there has been heated discussion on this subject. Many are hoping for a definitive edition of Elvis On Tour. This Is Elvis is a possibility as a barebones release from what I understand. In Europe the Warner branches (at least in Holland and Finland) have...

    What did you do in the war, daddy: OAR?

    A while back I purchased an official DVD of this from Japan. The image was anamorphic, but with 1.85:1 aspect ratio. As I understand, the OAR is 2.35:1. Is it? Other than that, the image looked fine. Extras included the original trailer in a 4:3 letterbox format, and the aspect ratio of that was...

    X, Y AND ZEE with Elizabeth Taylor, Michael Caine coming?

    Concerning Play Dirty: I purchased a Japanese version of it with the original soundtrack (and optional subtitles) in all its widescreen anamorphic glory about a year ago from www.cdjapan.co.jp It's still offered there (although it's listed as Play Diary) for $33...

    "The Whistler," "The Falcon," "The Saint" from the '40s -- when on DVD?

    Unfortunately, I cannot. This seems to be purely a Finnish release. All the sites I've used here have hardly any english on them. All I can suggest is to e-mail one of these stores and make inquiries. Rest assured: they all speak English! ;) Below are a couple e-mail addresses for stores...

    "The Whistler," "The Falcon," "The Saint" from the '40s -- when on DVD?

    I don't know all the details, but I am 100% certain that these are NOT bootlegged. The set is published in co-operation with Panvision (a Scandinavian publisher: www.panvision.com) and The Finnish Broadcasting Company (YLE, the Finnish equivalent to BBC). They have also other sets such as Cary...

    "The Whistler," "The Falcon," "The Saint" from the '40s -- when on DVD?

    As far as I can tell, the subs are not removable. I took some screenshots but the subs don't appear on these, for some reason. Naturally this is a region 2 PAL-release. The cover art shown in the link was that of the back cover, by the way. Here you can see the front cover. The release...

    "The Whistler," "The Falcon," "The Saint" from the '40s -- when on DVD?

    I don't know if is of any interest to you, but I just bought a Falcon box set here in Finland. It contains the first nine films of the series. The soundtrack is in original English with Finnish subtitles. Haven't had time to look at it yet, though, so i can't comment on the picture quality...

    Fox releases still OAR! See Post #11

    It says "Anamorphic" at axelmusic.com for both Guns at batasi and These Thousand Hills (a film I'm looking to get). However, no mention of aspect ratio. But then again, whoever heard of anamorphic pan&scan...?:wink:

    Elvis movies -- good transfers/bad transfers?

    Clambake is out in an anamorphic transfer in R2: it's much better than the R1 version.

    The Harold Lloyd Comedy Collection (New Line)

    Here in Finland the majority of Harold's features were shown on TV this past winter (and rerun this summer). Starting from "A sailor-made man" up to "Milky Way" missing out on only "Feet first" and "Welcome Danger". I actually taped them, but with this upcoming boxset I can now happily chuck...
