Amazon has some very nice prices on a few of the Warner Archive Blu-rays these days.

$6.99 is pocket-change, Josh... Go for it!

That is just nuts!

Any update on a release date/cover art for "Love Me or Leave Me"?

Has there been any word on when we should be expecting an announcement for "Silk Stockings"?

"Unsinkable Molly Brown" is coming soon! Check out Noach's dedicated new thread here: http://www.hometheaterforum.com/community/threads/the-unsinkable-molly-brown-coming-from-wac.347666/

I watched "The Swan" again last night on my Pioneer DVD player, which upscales, and it was glorious. A beautiful remaster that could easily be taken up to Blu-ray. I pray that it joins the series soon.

Another title I'd nominate is "My Reputation". Barbara Stanwyck always regarded this as one of her all-time favourite films...

This is from 'Modern Screen Magazine', at the time of "The Harvey Girls"'s original release...

Those three came to Blu-ray via MGM/Fox, so perhaps they'll release it? Or is it on Kino Lorber's slate?

"Silk Stockings" too?! Hallelujah. Warner Archive, keep this up and you'll be the front-runner for classics on Blu.

"Mildred Pierce" on Blu-ray is a WHEN, not IF. I'm sure it's coming...

I like the idea of Warners doing more "specific year" sets, like their 1939 set. The reality of that happening, though, is probably very slim. Billy is right that we should love and enjoy what has already been made available - though I'm sure WA is going to grace us with at least a few of the...

Add "Virginia Woolf" too.

"A Woman's Face" is very good - sadly the DVD (part of Warner's Joan Crawford Volume 2 set) is now OOP. Maybe it will be reissued in one of the budget TCM sets.

An entire Barbara Stanwyck BOX would be most welcome, ideally including "Ball of Fire", "My Reputation" (said to be one of her favourites), "Executive Suite" and the fun melodrama "East Side, West Side".

"Ziegfeld Girl" is notable for it's amazing cast (Lana in her first dramatic role of any substance) and of course the wonderful Judy. It was fashioned as a sequel-of-sorts for "The Great Ziegfeld", even re-using the 'Pretty Girl is Like a Melody' footage by swapping Virginia Bruce for Judy as...

I love that version of J&H, although Spencer was never entirely satisfied with how it came off, according to Katharine Hepburn in her book. Apparently he wanted one actress to play both of the women (which would have been fascinating) and it was Hepburn who he originally had in mind to play them.

I can see LMOLM coming to Blu very soon. I spun the DVD upscaled a few weeks ago and was very surprised. The optimist in me would also love to see "Lucky Me" (Day's first 'Scope film) on Blu-ray but I may be in the minority there...

"Dark Passage" is, for me, the best of the four Bacall/Bogart films. It ticks all the boxes. Great to know it's joining the WA Blu-ray series.

I'm still surprised we haven't even seen a 'flat' version of "The French Line" in the regular Archive disc line.

Nick you've mentioned QUITE a few of the titles I want to see!

After spinning my DVD of "Scaramouche" on an upscaling player a couple of nights ago, I'd love to see the film make the transition to Blu. It would be truly stunning.

Most of the musicals I suspect are in the hands of Warner Archive.

A Janie Powell-themed collage I made some time back, but I think a few people here may enjoy seeing it. :)

My personal favourite Janie film is "Nancy Goes to Rio". Jane with the added glamour of Ann Sothern, plus zesty Carmen Miranda. Who can resist? "A Date with Judy" runs a close second, but there's also "Royal Wedding" with Janie kicking up her heels with Fred Astaire in the "Ev'ry Night at...

Here is Jane, from only a couple of years ago, wowing the crowds at the Hollywood Bowl.

Jane Powell was always more easygoing in front of the camera. Kathryn was quite mannered, as though she were on the stage. I just think Jane Powell was more vivacious, and infinitely more likeable on the screen.

Although I think Ann Blyth, his "Great Caruso" co-star, was the exception to that. She has great memories of him, and I'd have loved to have seen what their reunion in "The Student Prince" would have been like, if not for the incidents offscreen which led to Lanza being fired from the film.

From what I've read, Ms Grayson had a reputation for being somewhat 'prickly' with her male co-stars (especially with Lanza). She essentially inherited Jeanette MacDonald's 'mantle' at MGM and although her career was quite brief she was a lovely asset to the films in which she starred. Later...
