... and even greater tag line. They don't write 'em like they used to.

Vitagraph is not the same as Vitaphone.

Fun trivia: Scenes for NO WAY OUT were filmed in the Old Post Office building in Washington, DC. It contained the government offices where I worked at the time. In the film, Costner (as I recall) takes the DC subway from the Old Post Office to Georgetown. Neither locations actually have...

Looks positively groovy to me!

Didn't this film come AFTER "The Big Broadcast of 1938"? I thought that was the film that gave Hope his signature song.

I certainly hope you do.

I had a similar situation, so I went to the "While Supplies Last" section and found a title to put me over the "free shipping" threshold.

Post #2 of this very thread lists the future Kino releases, with Flower Drum Song listed as May 24.

A better question might be, does the Sony deal include anything OTHER than Columbia titles?

Who needs CITIZEN KANE, when we can have "the fantastic orgies of Queen Conori" and the "Amazon women's man-killing ritual".

"The most violent episode in the history of terrorism" Sadly, the events of twenty years ago this weekend make this tagline from the 1970s out of date.

Mahatma Kane Jeeves is one of the greatest pseudonyms of all time.

What makes me feel old? When a film whose production I helped fund during my career at a federal cultural agency now needs to be restored. But no complaints. It's a great film.

Love the "aviatrix thriller" description above. Makes me think of "The Drowsy Chaperone" :P

For that matter, the Keystone Kops had some great car chases as well. As for JET PILOT, I look forward to seeing this release, micrometer in hand to measure the exact aspect ratio. ;)

Dear Insider, I know you just recently announced LILIES OF THE FIELD, but PERCY was directed by Ralph Thomas, not Ralph Nelson. "Amen!" :)

While I am discouraged when the Insider says that KLSC has "no interest" in an obscure title I love that needs an improved release (or in some cases, a release in the first place), I am delighted that they HAVE released titles that I thought would never see the light of day, such as ME NATALIE...

I would argue that "I Enjoy Being a Girl" is somewhat of a R&H standard. And it's "Rodgers". I'm also looking forward to this release.

Maybe "The Conqueror" will be next weekend's announcement. ;)

Thank goodness for the Urban Dictionary website. It keeps me hep to what the cool cats are saying. :cool:

Apparently those three assorted titles weren't desired much either, as the Insider said in "the other forum" that the Durbins were poor sellers.

Perhaps that was a typo by the Insider. I can't imagine not making an HD master after doing a 4K scan, but you never know.

I guess the Insider wanted to see if anyone reads those descriptions carefully. Then again, Ms. Buzzi considers herself "NBC's geriatric sex symbol", as shown below four months ago.

Perhaps I am wrong, but it's my impression that physical media is dying a slower death in Europe than it is in the United States. For example, 3D Blu-Rays of recent releases are still available there. I guess Universal figures that those who want to binge watch MURDER SHE WROTE here can watch...

Could improved editions of THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD and/or THE HALLELUJAH TRAIL be forthcoming? Maybe THE MUSIC LOVERS on Blu? Here's hoping! Meanwhile, congratulations on the new deal.

I tip my hat to you, Timothy. It takes bravery to admit liking this movie. (and let's face it, we ALL probably have "guilty pleasure" movies that we like). I would include THE OSCAR, FEMALE ON THE BEACH, and SONG OF NORWAY as three recent cases where Kino Lorber satisfied MY need for guilty...

Often but not always. I know TMM's soundtrack album has an overture, but I honestly don't remember if it was part of the theatrical presentation.

While I would love LAND OF THE PHAROAHS to appear on Blu, I doubt that it would look fantastic, given its thick WarnerColor origins. However, if it stays in-house at Warner, who knows what magic WBMPI could work on that title?

That's definitely some good news. I assume that the plan to add another 50-60 titles mid-year refers to more titles from Universal. Given the potentially large number, did you reconsider any titles that you decided against during the initial Universal deal?

A different breed of motion picture! A different breed of man! LOL
