    The Brute Man (1946)

    Didn't know about the LD release...interesting. I don't own it, but I understand that the Image DVD is from a quality print of the film. Agreed on the Kino front. Wasting Blu-ray space is never a great thing. The Brute Man also would have gone quite well as a companion piece to The Spider...

    Blu-ray Review A Few Words About A few words about…™ Number Seventeen – in Blu-ray

    I've always enjoyed Number Seventeen and found it very atmospheric. Glad to hear RAH approves, and I must compliment his very thorough list of companies + releases. Tangentially, I would add that there is a pretty good, though obscure, Region 2 DVD release of Secret Agent from a company called...

    The Brute Man (1946)

    Cinedigm acquired a good portion of the PRC library earlier this year. I understand that they store at least some of their film elements with the UCLA Film and Television Archive, which UCLA seems to verify. The UCLA website indicates that the Film and Television Archive holds five...

    Warner Archive Press Release: The Curse of Frankenstein (1957) (Blu-ray)

    I have the Indicator set as well...I think the Revenge of Frankenstein disc in that set was likewise from a 4K restoration...it looks fantastic. In the past, it has been a shame having to watch the rather poor quality (with color way off, in particular—thus a very faded look) of the Lionsgate...

    Kino-Lorber Insider Announcement Thread (Read Guidelines Post #3)

    From what I have read, MCA acquired Paramount's entire pre-1950 sound film library. Alias Nick Beal is a 1949 film, so I assumed it would have been included in that grouping and that its rights would have passed to Universal. Imprint does also appear to have a deal with Universal. Also – and...

    Kino-Lorber Insider Announcement Thread (Read Guidelines Post #3)

    I have been catching up on posts in this thread that I've missed in the past week and a half, and one film does pop into mind that I believe to be owned by Universal (which inherited much of the early Paramount library through MCA) that I hope Kino might be able to release at some point: Alias...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Evil Under the Sun -- in Blu-ray

    I'm new on the forum, but I did want to share my thoughts as this^ is an interesting observation, and I own both the 2013 Studio Canal version and this new Kino edition (I do not have the 2017 Studio Canal version). My observations are as follows: This Kino version is significantly superior...

    Kino-Lorber Insider Announcement Thread (Read Guidelines Post #3)

    Is Kino expected to release 1974's Murder on the Orient Express sometime in the near (or distant) future? I just purchased the new Kino releases of Death on the Nile and Evil Under the Sun, and I'm trying to determine whether I should buy the 2017 Studio Canal release of Murder on the Orient...
