    Sony's Missing Columbia Titles.

    A few days ago I re-watched Lost Command, a film originally released by Columbia and subsequently released again on DVD. The film has not yet come out on Blu-ray disc. Sony have for the most part been diligent in releasing their titles in high definition. They provided Twilight Time with many...

    It Started In Naples

    Perhaps I haven't been paying due attention but I haven't seen any reference to this upcoming Blu-ray release from Paramount. I've just been browsing the MovieZyng website, and they are displaying the disc cover. I'm going to buy this disc!

    BLONDE ICE on DVD

    I want to watch Blonde Ice which I've never seen. Apparently, Leslie Brooks plays a villainous woman which should be interesting. There are some unwatchable presentations on YouTube and two DVDs. Does anyone know if either DVD presents the film decently?

    BORDERLINE - REEL VAULT DVD

    Can anyone comment on the quality of the Reel Vault DVD of Borderline, a film starring Fred MacMurray and Claire Trevor, two favorites of mine? There is an unwatchable version of YouTube and I've never tolerated more than three minutes of it.

    THE DON IS DEAD

    Eureka in the U. K. is bringing out a Blu-ray disc of the superb gangster film The Don Is Dead. The film is directed by Richard Fleischer, a favorite director of mine, who was consistently excellent in a wide variety of subject matters. The Don Is Dead was made in the wake of The Godfather...

    Indicator U.K have sent me an email stating they are going to release several film noir movies on Blu-ray disc and the first stage will be a box-set of Sony titles which of course means Columbia films. Some, like The Line-Up, are very familiar, some like Drive A Crooked Road and The Garment...

    WARNER ARCHIVE BLU-RAY DISCS FOR U.K.

    It seems - and that may turn out to be premature - that Warners have struck a new deal with U.K. distributor/vendor HMV to release some of their Warner Archive Blu-ray discs in editions especially tailored for the U. K. market.. The chosen label is obviously Premier Collection. The HMV...

    International THE COCKLESHELL HEROES

    I've received an email from Eureka informing that The Cockleshell Heroes is coming out on Blu-ray disc in July. I saw this film when I was a small boy but had forgotten about completely in recent years. I note from the cover there's a woman in it and I don't recall that. I don't even...

    MARRIAGE IS A PRIVATE AFFAIR

    Has the Lana Turner/John Hodiak film Marriage Is A Private Affair ever been released on DVD? I know Warners is not a great fan of the big female stars of yesteryear and does not give them Blu-ray exposure, but many Lana Turner films have appeared on DVD-Rs. It seems strange that I can't...

    Trapped directed by Richard Fleischer

    I want to by a decent DVD of Trapped which stars Lloyd Bridges and Barbara Payton. There seem to be several around and one is from Alpha Video which I will not buy for the usual reason. There is also one from Film Detective who claim to have restored the film. Does anyone know if this disc is...

    Amazon U. K. are listing four new to Blu-ray 20th Century Fox titles from Signal One in the new year. The Inspector (which is also known as Lisa) a film I saw and enjoyed as a teenager when it first came out. The Gunfighter which I'm sure needs no introduction from me. The Halls Of Montezuma...

    Molly And Lawless John

    I'm a great admirer of Vera Miles, and I've just come across a film of hers I'd never heard about: Molly And Lawless John. It seems there are numerous DVDs of this film so I assume it's in the public domain. Comments on Amazon say the picture quality is awful but don't specify which DVD. Does...

    TERMINAL ISLAND ON BLU-RAY DISC!

    I'm not enthusiastic about sleazy movies. It's just not my type of film, but every now and then one does arouse my interest because of some element unconnected with the subject matter. Every since watching a few episodes of Vegas on TV, I've been intrigued by Phyllis Davis and have wanted to...

    Pornographic Photo Fraud

    One of the most loathsome consequences of products like Photoshop is that sleazy degenerates can manipulate photographs to make it appear that famous people have posed in ways that they have not. I have seen several reproductions which purport to be of famous film actresses in various states of...

    T-Men On Blu-ray disc, October 10th!

    ClassicFlix are really spreading their wings as a supplier of Blu-ray discs. They have sent me an email announcing an October date for T-Men, a good crime film with a screenplay by John C. Higgins and photography by John Alton. The director is Anthony Mann, and T-Men is one of the films that...

    CRIME OF PASSION on Blu-ray disc.

    ClassicFlix will release the Barbara Stanwyck crime melodrama Crime Of Passion on Blu-ray disc in September. I've always enjoyed this film and Babs has two very strong co-stars. If informed opinion gives this disc approval, I'm buying.

    You Only Live Once: more Fritz Lang On Blu-ray disc!

    ClassicFlix have sent me a email saying that in mid-July they are releasing a Blu-ray disc of You Only Live Once. This is an early contender for the label "film noir" which is today is grossly over-used. Directed by Fritz Lang and filmed by Leon Shamroy who provides a few deep focus shots...

    A Man Alone: A DVD From Germany

    A Man Alone is a 1955 film that my father took me to see when it first came out. I loved the film and I still do. I've never met anyone who shares my high opinion of A Man Alone and a few people have told me they think my opinion is eccentric, but I do note that IMDB does have some favorable...

    The strange case of the Villa Rides Blu-ray disc

    I have two Blu-ray players connected to my projector. One is for Zone A and Zone Free discs, the other is for Zone B discs. Today I received the Blu-ray disc of Villa Rides which I assume is a Zone A disc as it comes from Olive Films. My Zone A player gave the message "INVALID REGION" so I...

    The Jigsaw Murders

    A few days ago I watched Blame It On Rio. This re-awakened my interest in Michelle Johnson whom I've never seen in anything else. Code Red are about to release a Blu-ray disc of The Jigsaw Murders which co-stars Michelle Johnson. Has anyone seen this film? Is it worth watching?

    IMDB Message Board - No More

    At the end of February, IMDb will close their message board system. This is the means by which people can express random ideas and opinions about films . . . and whatever else is obsessing them. Anyone who has visited IMDb boards regularly will be well aware that low grade people abuse the...

    Carnival Story With Anne Baxter

    I understand that this film is now in the public domain, which explains why there are so many different DVDs. As far as I can judge, most of these PD discs are of appalling quality. Does anyone know of a good DVD of Carnival Story?
