Thank you TT for Sayonara and Dr. Dolittle. This is an eclectic release month that I am sure will please many people.

At last Sayonara which is another Blu ray long waited for that I scratch off my list. I have the laserdisc of which one disc went funny as can happen. That release had the original Warner Bros release logo at the front but I think Fox released the LD. Dr Dooliitle has have in the German release but for good reason I will order the TT release.
Now if only centennial Summer can come back on the table, add, still no Can Can. That's the one that had a previous scene repeated on the other side of an LD release!!!! Some Fox LDs did some funny things but that was the best we had then other than video.

 

[Matt Hough]

A wonderful slate of releases. Many thanks for making them available.

 

[Nick*Z]

Can we please get Robert Wise's Star! too? But yes, can't wait for Doolittle, Sayonara and Gidget. If you're in doubt about angels being real...

 

[Mark-P]

I've been waiting a long time for Sayonara and Gidget. I know a lot of people will be happy about Doctor Doolittle, so good for them!

Finally! The Doctor Dolittle obsessed can be happy. Bananas takes us near the end of the United Artists / Orion Woody Allen library. If I am figuring correctly, we just have Alice remaining.

 

[Allansfirebird]

Standing by to give all the money for Sayonara and Dolittle!

 

[ahollis]

Another 4 titles for me on release date. Thanks for Bananas, Sayonara, Gidget, and Doctor Dolittle.

 

[Drew Salzan]

Yay! I'm hoping Doctor Dolittle is the Roadshow version, complete with Overure, Entrac't , Exit Music and from 70mm Todd-AO elements. Also, Sayonara from original Technirama elements in 5.1 (with WB logo).

 

[Thomas T]

What a fantastic month of releases!!! While I have zero interest in Bananas, I'm over the moon with the news of Sayonara and Gidget, happy for Doctor Dolittle (knowing TT, I'm sure it's the complete Roadshow cut) and I've an interest in Japanese cinema so Yellow Handkerchief will be a blind buy for me. Hoping for commentaries on Gidget, Sayonara and Doctor Dolittle (I'm sure Samantha Eggar would be more than happy to contribute if asked).

 

[KPmusmag]

DOCTOR DOLITTLE - finally! Gives me hope for STAR! soon.

 

[Steve...O]

Superb diversity of releases this month! I haven't seen Dolittle since I was a kid so it will be great to revisit and early Woody Allen can't be beat.

Thank you TT for continuing to be the best of the indie boutique labels.

I'm tickled pink!!! Two titles for my collection!!!

I'm down for Sayonara and Dr. Doolittle. I have the Australian release, but TT's version should be much improved. And will have a couple of Bonus features, I hope.

THE YELLOW HANDKERCHIEF is an amazing film. DR. DOOLITTLE isn't, but it does have the most breathtaking 65mm photography by Robert Surtees, so it's a must buy. I saw SAYONARA as a child, and I remember how beautiful it looked. All in all, a very impressive line-up.

And if I may be allowed to digress...a few months ago, I was watching the Warner Archive Blu of THE YAKUZA, which really for the first time allows one to study the subtle facial gestures and performance style of Ken Takakura. I thought to myself, "Gosh, it would be great if someone like Twilight Time brought out BRUTAL TALES OF CHIVALRY & THE YELLOW HANDKERCHIEF." I even considered sending an email request to Twilight Time, but then thought better of it. "No," I thought to myself," it will never happen." Clearly the folks at Twilight Time are mind readers (or we like the same films.)

Finally, we'll get GIDGET in full CinemaScope! All previous home video transfers of it have been full-frame, including laserdisc. Even an airing on TCM just last week reverted to full-frame after letterboxed credits. This has been a long time coming. A huge shout-out to TT!

Yes! Doctor Dolittle!!

 

[SS NORMANDIE]

Fantastic selection of titles for November. Being a Sandra Dee fan, I'm really looking forward to purchasing "Gidget" in all its HD widescreen glory. It's sadly often forgotten how popular Ms. Dee was at the box office back in the late 1950's through the mid 1960's, this in addition to being a wildly successful teen model prior to her movie career. It's amazing to me that she still does not have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Many thanks to Twilight Time and Sony/Columbia Pictures for making this enjoyable movie available in its proper aspect ratio.
