The Paramount live-action musical shorts from the early 1930s are owned by Cohen Media, which purchased them as part of the Raymond Rohauer library. Shields Pictures controls Paramount's Popular Science, Unusual Occupations and Speaking of Animal shorts series.

Moe, I stand corrected. Unfaithfully Yours is indeed still available from the Criterion Collection, though Amazon only has it only from third-party sellers. Criterion sometimes licenses on a non-exclusive basis; Sony is putting out another Criterion title, Anatomy of a Murder, through its MOD...

Robert is correct. There was a mad rush to finish reviews and take care of administrative details before my last work day of 2012, Dec. 14. I'll be back in a few days. Happy holidays to all my friends at Home Theater Forum.

Robert, after the Paramount-Warner news broke I asked Frank Tarzi of Olive if this would have any affect. He said Olive had 75 Paramount titles and another 160 Republic titles under long-term license, so I assume more will be coming.
