Any chance we will ever see The African Queen released in R1? I understand that R2 has had this one available in pretty good form (with a commentary track) for some time.
After seeing rereleases of 2nd and 3rd rate titles in SE and Ultimate SE versions I am dismayed that there has been very little said by either the studios nor here at the HTF. Meanwhile we hear, ad nauseum, speculation about SW and IJ. Is there any doubt that either will eventually be released? IJ is already being readied for this year and SW will undoubtedly get the largest release in the format's history when it gets here. I find it curious that the best known collaboration between two American screen icons like Humphrey Bogart and Katherine Hepburne has not evoked more interest. Does anyone have either any news or something to say about the apparent lack of discussion?
