Where does Dr Cyclops come in?

As it says:
Best 2020 DVD/Blu-ray film release.

That's three straight 60s films being released in January with no commentary. Not counting the 4ks. Hope this isn't a new trend for KL. I love their commentaries.

Not every film merits one. And sometimes it depends on finding someone who's motivated to do so. I believe I can say with a fairly high degree of certainty that there weren't too many other people lining up to analyze SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL GUNFIGHTER.

That may be so. But there are many undeserving films that get released and have commentaries. My point was and is that i hope that this isn't a trend away from commentaries on lesser older films.

I LOVE that KinoLorber is releasing the "Made For TV" version of Inherit The Wind!

Many people don't realize that from the 1970's to the 1990"s, the 3 tv networks routinely produced very high quality films that frequently featured top-tier stars, directors and behind-the-scenes talent.

I agree with both points made above, although in this case, the 1999 version of INHERIT THE WIND was produced for Showtime. However, the 1988 made-for-television version, with Kirk Douglas and Jason Robards, aired on NBC.

For this Kino release, Jack Lemmon and Beau Bridges received Emmy nominations, and George C. Scott got a SAG nomination. Lemmon won a Golden Globe Award for his performance.

Thanks !

No, we haven't even scanned it yet. We're working around Mr. Friedkin's schedule, who needs to oversee the new HDR restoration. If I had to guess, I would say late Summer or Fall of 2022.

Because of the pandemic, we haven't been able to send a catalog in nearly a year. So we're thrilled to have partnered with Critics' Choice Video to make sure our customers can still discover our releases as an old fashioned page-turner.

Received mine in the mail days ago. Prices on your web site are cheaper.

 

[JamesSmith]

Wonder if Critics Choice can make other such allegiances with other DVD producers? We need more unreleased content?

I did get my catalog in the mail a couple of days ago. It brought back memories of times gone by getting video catalogs in the mail.

Got mine last week and it is BOFFO!

 

[BobO'Link]

Hmmm... I *may* have gotten one of those Critic's Choice "Partnered with Kino" catalogs - but didn't look further than seeing "Critic's Choice" on the cover before tossing it. I used to look at them for entertainment but their prices are high so I started tossing them without so much as a 2nd glance. There may be people who order from them but it isn't me...

 

[JamesSmith]

I forgot. Can we make suggestions for future Kino releases on this site? I'd like to recommend several.

This thread is about actual Kino announcements and not speculation or suggestions for Kino releases. The other Kino thread, you can suggest future Kino releases.

Sunday's Facebook Announcement:

Coming Soon on 4KUHD!

The Apartment (1960) Starring Jack Lemmon, Shirley MacLaine & Fred MacMurray – Shot by Joseph LaShelle (Laura, Marty) – Written by Billy Wilder & I.A.L. Diamond (One, Two, Three) – Directed by Billy Wilder (Some Like It Hot, The Fortune Cookie).

Trivia Note:

"Theme from The Apartment" by the piano duo Ferrante & Teicher reached #10 on Billboard's Hot 100 in 1960. It was written by British composer Charles Williams, but the tune's real name is "Jealous Lover" and it was written for a mostly forgotten 1949 film "The Romantic Age" (released as "Naughty Arlette" in the U.S.). Here is the Ferrante & Teicher version.

Theme from The Apartment

I can tell you that as a piano student many, many years ago, that sheet music was one of the most challenging things I ever attempted to tackle. I worked on it for months and never really felt I did it justice.
