Any more Mitchell Leisens in the future? There are so many that haven't seen a decent DVD release yet. Just love Mitch!

 

[Gary OS]

I assume you mean a blu ray set? Have any of her films been remastered for a possible blu ray release?

Yes, I mean blu ray. And I have no idea if any have been remastered for a blu release. Her films have been terribly neglected, imho. She deserves better.

Hopefully The Web and Among the Living are part of the first time on DVD never on VHS titles ! Fingers crossed !

 

[battlebeast]

Was SKIPPY ever released on VHS?

 

[LeoA]

I'd also love to see the Deanna Durbin movie that has her singing Silent Night. It's from 1945 and is called Lady on a Train. I have that scene ripped and on my PC just because it's so good.

Another movie Im hoping for in this deal is The Web with Vincent Price. I haven't seen it but would love to!

It's a pretty good crime film in, if my memory is correct, lush black and white. Most people today would label it film noir but I avoid that most elastic term. Vincent Price hires Edmond O'Brien as a bodyguard to be the fall guy in an elaborate scheme. Ella Raines plays the female lead and she's good. If The Web came out on disc, I'd buy it immediately.

God, I would love that have movie on disc as it's never been released on any home video format in the States. I've never seen it, but over the years, I have read and heard good things about this film.

A publicity shot for The Web. I don't recall this set-up in the film.

Any James Whale?

Especially interested in the restored version of The Road Back that played at the Museum of Modern Art in 2016.

Yes.

I really look forward to getting ANGEL! Anything directed by Ernst Lubitsch and starring Marlene Dietrich would be a must buy but fortunately this is a very entertaining film!

Now let's hope Dietrich looks better in this than she did in the jagged last third of KL's otherwise fine transfer of A Foreign Affair!

Here’s hoping for Deanna Durbin as well.

Especially the film noir CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY, which I believe has never been released in any format in the states.

We have some Deanna Durbin, CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY has never been available for one reason or another. Most likely some legal issues.

 

[TheSteig]

Another movie of interest that I hope Kino has is The Cheat ! Anyone else see this crazy pre-code movie ?

 

[battlebeast]

We have some Deanna Durbin

!!! there are three that I’d love to see released. One is one of my friends all time favourite films and it would be amazing to surprise her with it!!

Perhaps THREE Durbins, or maybe 100?
