This has been ongoing for awhile, and portends an extremely important release.

One of the great horror films! And imho far superior to the M-G-M re-make.

One can normally spot an early sell-out, and this will be one of them.

 

[Will Krupp]

Finally!

Fill me up!!!!

Amazon says currently unavailable and they don’t know when or if they will be in stock. Sold out already?!?!?!?

The link hasn't gone "live" yet. It will in the coming days.

Been (im)patiently waiting for this one... It's a must buy.

Absolutely!

Never saw this film, but as usual, the hype created by all of you will result in a blind purchase.

(speaking of which, the preorder just went LIVE on Amazon)

Ron,

Have you seen the 1941 version?

 

[Ronald Epstein]

Ron,

Have you seen the 1941 version?

No, because everyone said this one is far superior

Do I need to buy both?

No, because everyone said this one is far superior

Do I need to buy both?

I was just wondering. I like both movies, but will not recommend one over the other.

It was arguably remade as the Star Trek Classic episode "The Enemy Within" ...

They're just different. The March is a pre-code Paramount (VERY pre-code) and the Tracy is a prettied up, MGM gloss job. Don't get me wrong, the MGM IS beautiful to look at but there's something to be said for the down and dirty Frederic March piece. Both are interesting but I personally think the MGM version would be better regarded if the Paramount version never existed in the first place. Its biggest sin seems to be that it's a different movie. Just my two cents!

That's the reason why I like both movies is because of the differences as to how each movie was made.

Well understood.

My situation is that I am retired. This is the time of year there are a good dozen titles being released Q4 and I have to pick and choose what I want to buy. I can't begin to tell you how much I have scaled back on disc purchasing.

Could have bought the MGM version months ago, but everyone was talking about how the Paramount version was the one to see.

Perhaps I'll eventually buy the MGM version, but for now, I have to pick and choose carefully according to budget.

As a retiree myself, I completely understand the cutback in disc spending.
