    Universal hold the rights to Hail the Conquering Hero in the USA. It is strange that there hasn't been a R1 announcement. The Palm Beach Story was recently released (very good transfer) in R1 but there has not been a R2 announcement. It could indeed be that Criterion have been licensed Hail the...

    Gee whiz, I thought that Columbia was going to sit on Bunny Lake is Missing forever. I even called them up and they said the film never existed! Then I visited Preminger's Estate and I was informed that Otto had never even visited England, let alone shot a movie there! Bizarre.
