Had hoped this would include any three of "Destry", "Gunsmoke", "Tumbleweed" or "The Wild and the Innocent". So at least one of them's materialized. I already have European Blu's on "Kansas Raiders" (one of Audie's best) and "Sierra". Also own Region 2 Blu's on"The Cimarron Kid" from '52 (terrific - and directed by Budd Boetticher) plus the fine "Walk the Proud Land" where Audie co-stars with Anne Bancroft.
The presence of "Destry" will probably be sufficiently tempting for me to buy this set. Kino's next all-Audie package, will supposed be completely made up of 60's titles. I feel certain it will include the great "Hell Bent for Leather" from 1960. Probably "Six Black Horses", also good, from '62. But whatever's on it, I'm definitely in. An Audie-matic purchase.

I think Kino went with titles that already have a good HD master.

Just Destry making its home video debut. The other 2 were already out on DVD.

True, but I also hoped "Tumbleweed" would be one of the titles as it is one of my favourite Audie Murphy films, but maybe that is coming in a future set. Who knows.

The Wild And The Innocent has had DVD releases in France and Germany. Unfortunately, they're pan and scan transfers and it's a CinemaScope film.

One of my 10 all-time favorite movies! The first time I watched this movie over 50 years ago, I was about the same age as the boy in the movie and it scared the crap out of me. Just a great film that flopped at the box office. However, TV showings along with new reviewers and critics took a look at this movie, and discovered its greatness.

Blind Buy on your recommendation!

I love The Wild and the Innocent. I thought Audie Murphy was excellent in this. Plus he and Sandra Dee had very good chemistry.

Just a reminder that film title requests are forbidden in this thread.

It looks like the next Kino sale won't take place until next Thursday, April 6th.

Why is the Prison Girls 3D blu ray being delayed a month?

Maybe their parole didn't come through...?

Hey, at least it didn't come too soon...

Audie Murphy Collection III

Wow! A great selection of titles ... especially the black-and-white SHOWDOWN.

 

[Gerani53]

It's a little startling to hear the THIS ISLAND EARTH theme under the opening titles of POSSE FROM HELL. The black-and-white and 'late in the day' aspects of SHOWDOWN make it worth checking out. In that one, Murphy's reunited with his friend and frequent co-star Charles Drake, who appeared in about a half-dozen AM films, most famously TO HELL AND BACK. Drake was quite wonderful as the hand of heavenly justice taking on vaguely Satanic "man from nowhere" Murphy in Jack Arnold/Gene Coon's NO NAME ON THE BULLET, also available in a Kino AM collection.

 

[borisfw]

Quite happy with these two Audie Murphy sets that are coming. I can only hope it continues with a fourth at some point.

I just deleted one post! Any post that has title requests will be deleted and repetitive violators will be banned from this thread.
