Warner still owns the Goldwyn titles but they reportedly need a lot of work to be blu worthy. Warner does still have a Paramount deal but Paramount doesn't seem to be providing them any Blu Ray masters they are just re-issuing out of print DVD's. Paramount is licensing to Olive and Kino but only titles that have not been previously released on DVD except for those released by Legend films. So they seem to be holding onto the films previously released on DVD but are barely releasing any of them on blu. These don't really seem like something Criterion would be interested in. They sound right up Kino and Olives alley if they can get the rights and masters.
For the Danny Kaye titles Warner should have:
Up in Arms
Wonderman
The KId from Brooklyn
A Song is Born
Secret Life of Walter Mitty
The Inspector General
Merry Andrew
Paramount would have:
The Court Jester
The Five Pennies
Sony/Colombia:
Me and The Colonel
The Man from the Dinners Club
Fox:
On The Riviera
Well, if you could get most of these that would make an amazing boxed set. Or maybe two sets?
