Since this doesn’t appear to be on the WAC release schedule this year, just a heads up that it’s currently on the TCM app thru Christmas. Print looks pretty nice too.
Was hoping for Big Jim McLain this time around. Just watched the DVD the other day. Maybe it’ll happen next month, along with Operation Pacific or Trouble Along The Way
Good lord, Freaks has to be the most terrifying movie I’ve ever seen. 40 years ago I caught a midnight showing with friends. I was absolutely traumatized with the ending of the film.
You’re correct Robert…my mistake. But Warner does own the rights to release this title. It would be wonderful if they saw fit to release it before Christmas 2023
I have no stake in this month’s release of titles. WAC will see fit to release what they think will sell. However, I’m a bit puzzled over the continued omission of John Ford’s 1949 “Three Godfathers”. The DVD looks great as it is, but I can only imagine what the BD of this glorious...
Much like the release of The Ghost Ship / Bedlam, I’d love to see WA release a double bill of Allegany Uprising / Tall In The Saddle one day. Pairing these two titles onto a single BD would make sense, as they were both originally released by RKO, and each film clocks in at less than 80...
Rio Bravo, the last film Ward Bond made with Duke. Bittersweet scenes between the two best friends, knowing this was the last time they collaborated. I’m really looking forward to owning this newly scanned film on Bluray
As an aside, John Wayne did make a tiny cameo in Wagon Train after Rio...
I don’t get TCM since I ditched cable, but my guess is this new 4K scan of Rio Bravo will be released on physical media very soon. And when it does, it’ll be a day 1 purchase. I’ve been waiting years to see this fine film get a new scan!
I don’t mean to disparage those who are excited about these releases, but what about the John Wayne, Henry Fonda, James Cagney, and other huge starts from the golden age of cinema that are still locked away in Warner’s vaults. I mean, I’ve been hoping for John Ford’s 3 Godfathers since the...
Not sure you’ve been to many or any Fathom events, but a lot of their screenings are satellite feeds, and the image is atrocious. I walked out on True Grit a couple of years ago, the presentation was so awful. There was a red line running thru the bottom of the picture.
I’m just saying, be...
Exactly, I would pass on that. Much like the current BD release of A Muppets Christmas Carol, I just could not enjoy watching the edited version of The Alamo, knowing that I won't be seeing the full version of the film that the director intended.
