Ron, will you post your thoughts on this title after you watch it. I like to see what you think of this film as it was the movie that not only helped along Bogart's ascension to stardom, but also John Huston's directing career even though Huston didn't direct this movie, but only co-wrote it...
I answered your question about "Angels with Dirty Faces" in that other thread. I think "The Roaring Twenties" might have the same issue as the movie is based on some Mark Hellinger's story. They're afraid of the writers estates suing them which is why both of these great films haven't been...
Most definitely, if this release wasn't coming out just a few weeks ahead of the November B&N sale, I would've been tempted to purchase it before such a sale. That's how much I appreciate both movies on this BD release.
Hell, I'm just happy Colorado Territory is going to be in 1080p as I never expected that to be released on BD with Warner concentrating more on musicals than any other genre.:)
This Criterion release is obviously being marketed as kind of a tribute to Raoul Walsh too so it makes sense to have Colorado Territory as the Bonus movie and not I Died a Thousand Times.
