    The sale is to commemorate Warner Archive's 10th anniversary. It's a little too soon since the last sale as the number of new titles included this time around is just a scant few. Nevertheless I'm able to find 5 titles out of the new batch.

    Evidently the answer has turned out to be The Last Hunt. Though I would argue that it's not all that well-known!

    Feltenstein dropped a hint on a very recent podcast of Dick Dinman's DVD Classics Corner. He said they were working on a Blu-ray release of one of Robert Taylor's best known CinemaScope pictures. I narrowed the list to these possibilites: Knights of the Round Table Many Rivers to Cross Quentin...

    An interesting tidbit on the latest WAC podcast. Regarding the DVD reissue of The Tunnel of Love, apparently it was not shot in CinemaScope but was shot spherically and converted to anamorphic in post. I had never heard that before.

    In today's Warner Archive Podcast, they read a letter from someone inquiring about Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. While they said there was nothing to announce, they were very coy and also said you never know what might come up in the future. Reading between the lines, I would venture to say...

    No, it's because of their quality tiers. They are willing to release stuff on DVD that doesn't meet the highest quality standards but Blu-rays have to have impeccable masters. That's WAC's internal policy.

    George Feltenstein did another radio interview on The Frank DeCaro Show to promote the latest Archive Blu-rays. He took some questions from callers and was asked about the possibility of Auntie Mame on Blu-ray. He said that it requires a lot of work and will be very expensive to get it to...

    I just got this message from Warner Archive. It looks like they are reorganizing. The Archive is going to be merged with WBShop.com. With all the recent Warner Blu-ray announcements it makes me wonder if they are just going to have Blu-ray pressing / DVD burning become standard practice and do...

    I know there have been lots of requests for The Great Race. With this WAC announcement, it looks like Warner really is going to be an embarrassment of riches in the coming year! By the way, George Feltenstein is going to be interviewed later today on the Frank DeCaro Show. If you don't know who...

    Well I wouldn't say I enjoy those things as in wanting them to be there, but I do have a very high tolerance for them, and I wouldn't mind a little less polish if it meant getting more product out cheaply. But in listening to the Warner podcasts, I've learned that Warner has an extremely high...
