The weird thing is The Pit, Shadows in an Empty Room, The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane and The Wrong Guy are all Canadian films.

!!!!

 

[battlebeast]

I’ve found a way around it.

 

[Kino Lorber Insider]

Mr. KL Insider,
do you know yet if Nixon is the theatrical cut?
Because that one hasn't been released.

Both cuts, three disc set.

 

[Kino Lorber Insider]

Have the two RKO pre-code sets been delayed? I thought they were announced as coming on April 2?

They're coming out in May.

Awesome sauce!

 

[Matt Hough]

Those American Film Theater classics coming to Blu-ray are very exciting for those of us who want to complete our collections.

 

[Louis Letizia]

The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith is a masterpiece. It compels and lends itself to repear viewings. Loving the AFT releaseals
...they could have stopped at Jacques Brel and I would have been happy. My parents subscribed to this series of which I believe the exquisite A Delicate Balance was the first released. The Man In The Glass Booth was the series most popular...garnering a wide release after Maximillian Schells Best Oscar nomination but the interesting Rhiniceros was the series nadir.

Someone has probably asked this question already, and if so, I apologize. I try to always keep up with the exciting news in this forum! That said, is To Each His Own with Olivia de Havilland a part of your deal with Universal?

 

[battlebeast]

Mr. insider, would plPublic Domain titles be a good idea or bad idea for KINO? Would it depend on certain factors?

 

[PatrickDA]

Both cuts, three disc set.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On the subject of Public Domain titles...you deal a lot with the Library of Congress. Any chance you will do a definitive edition of MEET JOHN DOE? I ask this cause I read somewhere that there was a LoC restoration done on this movie years ago but has never been issued on any format.

 

[Tom St Jones]

I remain hopeful Kino's Universal deal will get us "Kolchak: The Night Stalker" on BLU.. Nothing in this A/V world wld please me like being able to place that on my shelf next to the 2 Kolchak movie Blus (altho I must admit the BD resolution - esp. a brand-new remaster - probably would not do the micro-budget monster costumes/makeup any favors, visually-spkng)..

FYI The version that runs on TCM looks great.

I’ve been recording many films on TCM during the current 32 days of Oscar, and many look great and / or are in HD, yet are nowhere to be found on Blu Ray.

I wonder if KINO could release some of the PD films like LOVE AFFAIR or THE PIED PIPER or OUR TOWN....

 

[John Morgan]

FYI The version that runs on TCM looks great.

I believe Sony did a new restoration on MEET JOHN DOE. (Their logo is on the film at the end.) Sony is the studio I am happiest with regards to Capra as they made most of his best films. And the transfer and restoration looks to be blu ray quality as it is beautiful. I don't remember a mar on the film. And since they put out his most known 30s films, a release would be wonderful.
