    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Reap the Wild Wind - in Blu-ray

    I have the French blu-ray (under the title "Les Naufrageurs des Mers du Sud") released by Elephant Films. The print is gorgeous (in my opinion); the French subtitles are removable. Highly recommended. (I think the blu-ray is region-free.)

    The Hallelujah Trail coming from Olive Films on 2/27/18

    Just read the review of the blu-ray from DVDBeaver. Apparently the blu-ray quality is poor, the film deserves better. I'll stay with my Region 4 DVD.

    I second that - have had the UK blu-ray for several years. It is a beautiful copy of the film.

    The Hallelujah Trail coming from Olive Films on 2/27/18

    I have a region 4 DVD from Australia, and am very happy with it. The anamorphic image (although it is in the incorrect 2.35:1 aspect ratio) is leagues ahead of the terrible letterboxed domestic release, the sound is good, and it appears to be the full roadshow version, with overture...

    Pre-Order Since You Went Away (Roadshow Edition) (1944) (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    I read somewhere that the original release prints were presented in sepia. Ideally (for me at least) the blu-ray would offer both the sepia and the standard black-and-white prints, but I suppose this is unlikely.

    "The Alamo"s Status?

    I have followed the information regarding the preservation and restoration of “The Alamo” for many years. I do have the roadshow version on LD, have never seen the shorter general release version, but understand that the shorter version has been reproduced in HD. After all is said and done, I...

    Diary of Anne Frank - Region 2 DVD or blu-ray

    Can anyone tell me if the Region 2 DVD (or Region B blu-ray) of "Diary of Anne Frank" (the 1959 version with Millie Perkins) includes the overture, intermission, entr'acte music and exit music? The domestic releases omit the intermission and entr'acte (the laserdisc does include these, and I...

    New footage in "Forever Amber"?

    I read somewhere that the Fox Movie Channel (which we don't get in Canada, at least not in my viewing area) has televised a print of “Forever Amber” that contains new footage (perhaps the unedited original ending). Does anyone have any more information about this?

    International Napoléon (1927) finally arriving on BFI Blu-ray and DVD

    I never thought I would see the day! Like many others I have seen the 4-hour version, but Kevin Brownlow's 5+ hours restoration in blu-ray will be a real treat!

    Has anyone viewed the German blu-ray edition of "It Happened One Night" (supposedly produced from a 4K scan)? If so, can you tell me what the quality is like? I know that a domestic blu-ray is available from Criterion - they do good work but are so expensive (at least in Canada). (I apologize...

    HTF EXCLUSIVE! Twilight Time Jan/Feb 2016 Release Announcements

    I second this! Of course I would love a pristine HD transfer of the roadshow version of “Raintree County”, but compatible elements may no longer exist. I would be very happy to see the general release in HD, with the roadshow in SD (even as a letterboxed print within a 4:3 frame, if an...

    International BLU-RAY DISCS FROM GERMANY

    Just received the blu-ray of "For Whom the Bell Tolls." I didn't have the chance to sit down and watch the roadshow version in full, but I did watch some selected scenes to check picture quality. It is, to say the least, jaw-droppingly beautiful. The roadshow version also includes overture...
