You can find that list on the IMDB site, under "Alternate Versions". I really wonder if this release was triggered by the fan edit of the long version that went online a few months ago (so-called "Ulysses Cut").
No, it's 2,35:1 all the way - I own the DVD. And no, it's not North by northwest (that one has the rather strange German title "Der unsichtbare Dritte", which translates to "The invisible third", giving a whole plot point away). You can see screenshots on this site: 1aDVD ScreenShots And...
It came out in Germany a few months ago, in a newspaper edition licensed by Warner. The DVD is non-anamorphic and the print used shows a bit of dirt - but it's in the correct aspect ratio. So if you're interested, look no further than Amazon.de and search for "Die Herrin von Thornhill"...
Another great film director has left us, on the same day as Bergman and Serrault. He slept away peacefully yesterday evening in his home and will be buried in Ferrara on Thursday. RIP
Mephisto Waltz is out in R2 by Fox. The UK DVD is already oop, but it's still avaiable via Germany, if anyone is interested. The German title is Mephisto-Walzer.
Well, dunno about other countries, but here in Germany we had a tradition of so-called Bahnhofkinos (train station cinemas) that showed adult-oriented movies like spaghetti westerns, martial-arts movies and softcore from the fifties onwards. Most of them had two movies that were shown non-stop...
As a German, I can guarantee that it's a bad translation - in German, the same word is used for releasing and editor, hence "will be edited". The premiere has already happened at the Berlinale. It was greeted by mixed reviews, mostly not for the movie, but for the presentation at the...
Re Soldier Blue: The German DVD by Kinowelt is in the correct format, uncut and has the original english mono. You can get it via Amazon.de under the title "Das Wiegenlied vom Totschlag". It is also rather cheap (10 Euro, around 12 Dollar). Make sure you get the Kinowelt DVD; there were three...
Dunno if I should post this here, but This Island Earth is avaiable on R2 in Germany. It is a bonus DVD to the german release of the Mystery Science Theater 3000 Movie, is in 1,33:1 (open matte) and with english mono track.
The German 1900 DVD has region code 2 and 4, so I guess it will be the same as the upcoming Australian release. The picture quality is indeed soft and a bit out-of-focus, but at least the DVD has the original italian dub, the english dub and english subtitles. This DVD edition has been rerated...
The DVD from the so-called "SZ-Collection" quoted above is technically identical with the German DVD from Kinowelt, but it is missing the supplements. The "SZ" is a German newspaper that has started a DVD collection last week, and Picnic is no. 43 (so it's coming out sometime next year).
IMDB says that no 244-minute-version of Dodes'kaden ever existed. This is the first time I hear about that; I always read that the studio cut down the movie. Maybe anybody of you can confirm this information on IMDB? The Mei Ah Version of Dodes'kaden is hardly fun to watch; faded colour and...
I own the set mentioned above, so it obviously does exist. The transfers are good, but not brillant - but they are certainly miles ahead of the Carlton DVD. There are no deleted scenes on the first or third Stepfather DVD; only the second DVD has some (probably the same they cut into the...
