"Tender is the Night". A much under-rated film, with very fine work from Jennifer Jones, Jason Robards and Joan Fontaine. And a Bernard Herrmann score. Nice to hear it made it to Blu-ray in at least some form.

I guess the difference is that Fox used to lease out vintage titles to Twilight Time and Kino. So for a long time we had a steady stream of wonderful deep catalogue items appearing on Blu. Disney appears to have no interest in continuing that practice.

The first two Basil Rathbone/Nigel Bruce Holmes movies , "Hound of the Baskervilles" and "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes", both in '39, were made by 20th Century Fox. A couple of years later, Universal negotiated for the screen rights for Holmes and launched the successful 12 film series that...

Although it's not available as a standalone, "State Fair" is still selling on Amazon as part of the Rodgers & Hammerstein Blu-ray box (along with Oklahoma!, Carousel, The King and I, South Pacific and The Sound of Music), currently priced at around $69. And I believe Screen Archives...

Much of what you say is bang on. But am I wrong in thinking that even if you purchase a digital download, it can still disappear from your collection at the whim of the copyright owner? I suppose for collectors of physical media a large part of the enjoyment comes from the fact that the item's...

In those pre-TV days I suppose the studio figured the earlier version was pretty much forgotten in most cases, especially if we're talking about B pictures. Possibly they'd copyrighted the title for a certain time and wanted to wring a little more value out of the deal. Maybe even figured they...

My feeling is not that 20th Century Fox vintage titles are inherently superior to the currently popular Star Wars/Marvel stuff. I just happen to like them better. Most audiences find their nostalgia in the favorites they grew up with. So in years to come the current generation will generally...

Really enjoyed reading your memories/impressions of vintage treasures from Fox. What a wealth of wonderful material the studio gave us. And what a shame if the bulk of it winds up effectively off limits. A few fond memories of my own involving 20th Century Fox's catalogue: I saw "Cadet Girl", a...

I’m a senior who grew up loving that beautiful 20th Century Fox logo and the stars and films it represented. As most collectors know, the whole Fox catalogue was acquired in recent years by Disney. And that company’s attitude toward releasing physical media (beyond high profile franchises) seems...
