Yes, I thought so. Thank You.Not in Region 1 as it's in PD hell with the likes of Film Detective releasing mediocre DVD releases.

Very sad news today as Doris Day has left us.

Eloquently worded tribute to a great lady!Doris Day had a career to be proud of: a slew of hit films in many genres and a lot of people she made happy with her mere presence in a film, a hit TV show that ran for five seasons, a succession of million-selling records that have entered the pantheon of standards, and animal activism for decades that in itself is deserving of headlines. And all of this stardom done while pretty much keeping to herself and not begging for headlines or scandal to keep her name before us. A class act! I loved her and will deeply miss her.
Matt,I've set my new DVR for this week's Noir Alley, but I'll have to decide if I want to watch Key Largo on the DVR recording or my Blu-ray. I'm glad it's spurring me to choose because I've been meaning to revisit it anyway and kept finding something else to watch instead.
A great movie and the Blu-ray's audio and video presentations were top notch. I'm looking forward to hearing Eddie's comments about this film. John Huston had one terrific year in 1948 with this film and "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre". Bogart got ripped off not getting any acting nominations. No offense to Olivier in Hamlet, but Bogart's performance in "The Treasure of Sierra Madre" was tremendous and perhaps his best acting performance. I'm sure the voting was split for him and he did play a despicable character in one of those films. My girl Claire Trevor was really good in "Key Largo". She is still one of my favorite all-time actresses.Matt,
I haven't even watch my Blu-ray of "Key Largo" and it's embarrassing to admit to such a shortcoming. Anyhow, so you know which format I'm going to choose tonight. Another Blu-ray that I kept aiming to watch, but never got around to watching it.
Look at this photo of Edward G. and Claire that looks to take place back in the 1930s as both appear much younger than in "Key Largo".
Claire Trevor's performance in Key Largo's justly won the AA. The scene where Robinson forces her to sing Moanin' Low is unforgettable.I've set my new DVR for this week's Noir Alley, but I'll have to decide if I want to watch Key Largo on the DVR recording or my Blu-ray.

Absolutely. But Robinson is just as riveting as Trevor in this. Would have been a shoo-in for a supporting actor nomination, but I suspect he wanted to be placed in the Best Actor category and there were just too many other top performances from that year for him to place there. If Bogie couldn't get in there with Madre or Largo, Robinson wasn't going to get in either. Hard to believe he was NEVER nominated for anything in his career.Claire Trevor's performance in Key Largo's justly won the AA.
