Betty Grable Collection Volume 2?? (1 Viewer)

[ahollis]

This is one of the most asked about and wanted sets out there. Whether the first set sold well or not, Fox as stated there will not be any more classic or older films released this year. They have only announced a couple of Blu-ray titles such as MASH and The Towering Inferno and have a lot of re-packaged SD titles on tap. One can only hope and wish that the vault will open again in 2010.

Fox has fallen a long way this year. Last year at this time we were looking forward to the Tyrone Power Matinee set, had the final Charlie Chan set and salivating over the proposed Murnau, Borzage and Fox collection. How sad.

Just saw Coney Island on TV -- how I would love to get more Betty Grable on disc! She made some marvellous, musical fluff in her day; i read that Fox's Grable Vol 1 didn't sell well but hopefully they'll find a way to open up their doors to let someone release them (i hear their mod is terrible)... It'd be great even if a three-film set of Mother Wore Tights, Coney Island and Springtime in the Rockies saw the light of day sometime in the near future.

To my total amazement, Mother Wore Tights is included in the list of movies Fox are asking HTF members to vote on for release on Blu-ray! It's good enough for a high definition release but it's never been issued on DVD!

I'm guessing Fox readied Mother Wore Tights for a possible second Grable box that never materialized (along with Sweet Rosie O'Grady which looks great on MOD) and possibly Coney Island or The Beautiful Blonde from Bashful Bend. From the looks of the voting, Grable still isn't very popular.

Where is this poll you speak of? I'm at Fox connect.com and can't find it...

You won't find it there. You''ll find it right here at HTF in the Blu-ray forum.

Don't forget, you can vote every day. It's not one man, one vote: it's vote early and vote often!
