dang, no Moby Dick yet.

dang, no Moby Dick yet.

Twilight has said that it's coming fourth quarter 2016, so it'll be a little while longer, but it is coming.

You have not seen real TECHNICOLOR until you've seen the deliriously loopy THE GANG'S ALL HERE! (unless you have the region B release, or you were lucky and saw the 35mm print that was shown in NYC, and maybe elsewhere, some decades past).

 

[bujaki]

Just checked IMDB for some info on The Most Beautiful Wife. It sounds quite fascinating, a Mafia story about...well, check it out. But for music enthusiasts, it boasts an Ennio Morricone score! That alone makes it a must buy!

Pardon my ignorance but will Miss Sadie Thompson also include the 2D cut. I can't stand 3D myself so unless a 2D HD cut is included it's just Theatre Of Blodd and the Tony Rome double bill for me.

 

[Peter Apruzzese]

Yes, 3-D Blu-ray's will also play in 2-D.

 

[Interdimensional]

I'm very grateful that they're providing the option of 3-D for those of us that do appreciate it!

It's so important to present these films as they were intended to be seen, but it's also great that both viewing options can be included to keep everyone happy.

This announcement has made my day! Miss Sadie Thompson 3D has been om my want list since I got my 3D TV. Thank you Twilight Time!! And The Gang's All Here! was equally wanted, it would make a great 3D conversion. Now if we could get The French Line......

 

[Josh Steinberg]

All 3D Blu-rays are supposed to be backwards compatible to playback in 2D, as mandated by the Blu-ray spec. Some manufacturers include both versions on the same disc (as will likely be the case here), while others choose to include separate 2D and 3D discs. But if you're buying a movie that's labeled as 3D, you can take comfort in the knowledge that the BDA requires it to include a 2D option.

(The only known exceptions to this are Disney's release of "Oz The Great And Powerful" and their "Toy Story" trilogy 3D box set. Those included only the BD3D disc that would not play in 2D, and did not include a separate 2D disc. The individual Toy Story 3D releases included both 2D and 3D versions, but they also made a box set with the three movies that included only the 3D discs. To the best of my knowledge, I've never heard of Disney being penalized for doing this. Also to the best of my knowledge, no one has attempted to do this since.)

 

[Race Bannon]

I will get Miss Sadie Thompson

I must say I have to wonder about the necessity of a HD blu ray of Zelig. Woody Allen intentionally made the film to look faded, soft looking, scratchy and grainy to simulate old newsreels of the 1920s. Will HD make the film look even more faded, soft looking, scratchy and grainy? If so, I suppose I've answered my own question.

 

[mBen989]

I was wondering why Theater of Blood was missing from both of the Shout! Factory sets.

 

[Ronald Epstein]

There are still missing images in post #2.

Let me know if you see them now. Some see them. Some don't. Pends on browser. I reuploaded them. Thanks, Bob!

I'm baffled by comments like this at this point in time of HD home video releases.

I'm not of the opinion that everything needs to upgraded to hi def. For many films, the "improvements" will be marginal which I suppose for some people is enough to justify an HD release. I just upgrade to films that 1) are particular personal favorites or 2) need an improvement over their present presentation. I realize that that many (especially in a forum such as this) have a quite different viewpoint.

 

[Cine_Capsulas]

This time I won't miss the Peckinpah! Thanks for the announcement!

 

[BixmanJ]

I don't see the images either.

No, we were not involved in this release which is unfortunate as we hold a wealth of material on this film.

SADIE had a wide release in 3-D for Christmas/New Year's, 1953.

What would be the normal process for them obtaining material from you? Is it licensing material to be included as extras? I'm guessing at this point it's too late but is TT aware of the material?

 

[RobertSiegel]

I am so glad about Miss Sadie Thompson. I also hope it has the stereo track. Still hoping for Man of La Mancha. I am just getting over the excitement of watching Exodus, Alexander the Great and Anastasia. Wow what a shipment that was!

 

[RolandL]

SADIE is historically significant as the first Hollywood production recorded in magnetic stereophonic sound on location. The dialogue was recorded in two-track with dual microphones and the music was recorded on Columbia's scoring stage in three-channel.

Sadly, those tracks do not survive.

Bob said earlier that it will not be in stereo sound.

I hope TT isn't backing away from the MGM/UA Truffaut titles...SMALL CHANGE, THE WILD CHILD, etc. If you have had low sales for, say, THE STORY OF ADELE H, please don't let that discourage you from giving us other, almost certainly more popular titles.
