My Gun is Quick should be early 2020.

I, the Jury (1953) is in legal hell.

Kiss Me Deadly (1955) was released by Criterion and I doubt they would release the rights.

Thank you so much for the reply.

I look forward to purchasing My Gun is Quick when it is released and I hope I, The Jury (1953) finally gets legally untangled at some point so a release can happen.

Have a great weekend!

Thanks for the list of titles that are going on moratorium.

If anyone hasn't picked it up yet, I recommend The High Commissioner (Nobody Runs Forever), it's an excellent Rod Taylor/Christopher Plummer film. It doesn't hurt that the beautiful Daliah Lavi is in it as well.

If ever I, the Jury, were to be released from hell, it should go to 3-D Film Archive Paradise so that it could receive a proper restoration. The film is awesome in 3D. I know: I've seen it.

I agree. I picked it up as a blind buy during the last sale, and watched it a few weeks ago. Decent 1960s police/spy intrigue (though not an action film) with an excellent cast and solid production personnel backing them up.

And thank you, Kino Lorber Insider, for the heads-up on titles going out of print. I wish more companies would do this (only one other, that I'm aware of, likewise does so), as usually the only way I find out is after the fact, when third-party sellers suddenly jack-up the asking price on a title, and major retailers just list it as 'back-order' or 'out-of-stock'. Fortunately, I have what I want from the current list, but it's comforting to know that I can prioritize anything potentially appearing on upcoming lists.

Time to go buy Paris Holiday. Been meaning to for quite a while to add to my Bob Hope collection.

I don't think I've ever seen this one.

EARLY to mid 2020. Don't scare me like that!

We've been waiting on this film title for a very long time. Thank you Kino!

Sunday's Facebook Announcement:


Coming 2020!
Brand New 4K Restoration! Color Graded by Producer Peter O’Brien!

The Grey Fox (1982) Starring Richard Farnsworth, Jackie Burroughs and Ken Pogue – Shot by Frank Tidy (The Duellists) – Produced by Peter O’Brian (Fast Company) – Directed by Phillip Borsos (The Mean Season).

 

[Richard M S]

Indeed, this film is the definition of a hidden gem. I have very good memories of The Grey Fox since I saw it in the theater years ago, in <gulp>, 1982.

 

[MLamarre]

I saw a screening of it earlier this year at TIFF Bell Lightbox. It's a brilliant western that is superbly acted and directed. Can't wait to pick it up on disc, I don't think it's had a home video release since VHS (?)

 

[Bernard McNair]

One of the best announcements of the year!
The Grey Fox is a remarkable film; every aspect of it is outstanding.
This is a definite day 1 for me.
Many thanks K L.

Correct. This has been a "lost" gem for decades as far as video is concerned. This is celebratory news!
