A Man For All Seasons (coming to Blu-ray) (1 Viewer)

[Dave B Ferris]

I ordered the same two as Rob, also without any problems.

A Man For All Seasons was not previously a grail title for me; however, as is often the case here at HTF, I found much of the enthusiasm to be infectious.

 

[davidHartzog]

Taking no chances, just ordered Man For All Seasons and Hombre, probably pick up Mississippi Burning later. May is a tough month, lots of fine releases. May have to go back to work to afford everything.

 

[RMajidi]

No doubt you will all receive your pre-ordered copies soon after release on May 12.

Shipment to Oz usually takes 2-3 weeks for me, so I'll be eager to read your posts describing this release, while I await mine in transit.

Can't pre-order now. Money shortage. I'll pray so that stocks last for at least 10 days more.

Hope so for your sake Gustavo. Would hate to see anyone who really wants this title to miss out. Good luck!

I don't think this will get OOP soon.

It's not 80s horror. (or sci-fi)

A series of "if's":

If you pay by credit card, and if the product does not ship until May 12th, and if they do not charge your card until they ship - could you not (still) go ahead and place your order today?

A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS and HOMBRE for me.

From what I recall, they charge you right away.

(that is if he orders through SAE)

A good point Dave. The following is from the AMFAS page at Screen Archives/TT. Item 4 confirms that credit cards aren't charged ("captured") until the order ships (May 12):

It does.


I am placing a pre-order right now.


Thanks.

Ordered MAN FOR ALL SEASONS and MISSISSIPPI BURNING. The site was working well.

me too, exactly!

 

[PODER]

And ANOTHER pre-order for MAN FOR ALL SEASONS. Also threw in THE FANTASTICKS for my growing Musicals On Blu-Ray Collection. It'll be interesting to see if this does sell out quickly.

home from work and still available, got mine ordered!

In the coming days, RAH will no doubt review the Twilight Time Blu-ray of A Man For All Seasons - a review that I eagerly await, especially given his renowned ties with Robert Bolt's work on Lawrence of Arabia.

Once that happens and as members begin receiving their copies, I suggest we abandon this current thread altogether and post any and all contributions on Mr Harris' new thread.

Very keen to read everyone's take on the merits of the new Blu-ray; and of the film itself and the many lofty themes and points of interest that it introduces.

Please continue to post any AMFAS related comments here until RAH's review.

Yes, sales of this title may well show us how small our numbers really are. Still, better safe than sorry...

"All that needless worry..." (Eleanor Parker)


This thread was created to continue conversations that began under unrelated topics re the high-end restoration and release of A Man For All Seasons. Happily, several joined in expressing their passion for AMFAS and enthusiasm for the upcoming Blu.


Along the way, this thread's viewing figures (several thousand) were well above those of many other catalogue titles from TT, pointing to a higher than usual interest in this release. Not wishing to risk anyone missing out, I tried as topic-host to ensure all here knew when pre-orders would begin.


There have been no updates on TT's pages re depleting stock levels, so it's clear that a rapid pre-order sell-out hasn't occurred. As David foreshadowed in his post quoted above, our numbers might turn out to be sadly small after all.


If you pre-ordered AMFAS against your better judgment, fearing a quick sell-out due to the buzz here, then I trust that your faith will be rewarded with a brilliant Blu-ray of a masterpiece.


[Prompted by friendly discussions under another topic]

 

[RMajidi]

Several posters on this thread (me included) expressed hopes that AMFAS would do well in sales, as that would indicate that there are still a few around who appreciate top-quality, character/dialogue-driven filmmaking.

The TT/SAE website lists AMFAS as their top selling disc this week - a welcome and encouraging piece of news.

[AMFAS is set for release today, so some of you may have already received shipping notice from TT]

 

[Cine_Capsulas]

I'm eagerly awaiting reviews, even though my copy has been ordered already. Irrespective of the quality, I'm glad because it could take many years before it is released in the UK.

I'm eager to read reviews of AMFAS too Gustavo, but I don't think I'll be as understanding as you if the quality of this release turns out to be anything less than outstanding.

I have high hopes though - with the Sony/TT combo, I feel the stars are aligned on this one.

Edit: Over on TT's Facebook page, a poster asked if there were any anticipated delays to shipment.
TT's reply: "Shipping should have started and will certainly be gathering steam by tomorrow."
