It’s great what Kino is doing for Mae West. Might it do something similar for WC Fields?

Apparently, the sales for Never Give a Sucker an Even Break weren't so great and some of the others are with another label. He only has one scene in Alice in Wonderland (and really only his voice). I obviously picked both up and I intend on grabbing at least My Little Chickadee, She Done Him Wrong, and I'm No Angel.

A complete "W.C. Fields at Paramount" set would be fantastic, though. Then we'd only need individual releases of You Can't Cheat an Honest Man and The Bank Dick (plus Warner Archive or someone putting out David Copperfield).

Man on the Flying Trapeze is my favorite. I don’t care for the West portion of Chickadee.

It's a Gift is my favorite Fields films, actually its one my list of favorite films period. I never cared much for Never Give a Sucker an Even Break. I prefer Fields in in mid-30s Paramount phase...You're Telling Me, The Old Fashioned Way, Man of the Flying Trapeze, Poppy.

My favorite is Million $ Legs. It's about the only way to see the 1932 LA Olympics these days.

 

[Mike Frezon]

Guys. Rein it in.

This thread is only for the announcement of Kino releases and reaction to them. It is NOT for random speculation of other potential releases or discussion of films not-being-released by Kino-Lorber.

[Mike2001]

Thanks Moviepas. As an LA native, I was most disappointed at the gaping black hole in the Criterion Olympics collection where the 1932 Olympics should have been.

Apologies for thread derail. Now back to our eagerly anticipated Kino announcements.

Coming June 15th!

Take This Job and Shove It (1981)
• B&W and Color Stills Gallery
• Theatrical Trailer
• Dual-Layered BD50 Disc
• Optional English Subtitles

Robert Hays (Airplane!) and Barbara Hershey (Hannah and Her Sisters) co-star in this keg of laughs that never runs dry! When corporate hotshot Frank Macklin (Hays) is sent back to his hometown to upgrade the Pickett Brewery, he just wants to get in, make the changes and get back out. But once Frank has had a tall drink of refreshing down-home life, instituting cold-hearted productivity increases at the plant becomes tougher. And when his bosses tell Frank his job is to betray the workers, he’ll have to act fast to save the good times... and the good brew! The excellent cast features David Keith (Heartbreak Hotel), Tim Thomerson (Trancers), Martin Mull (Clue), Penelope Milford (Coming Home), Royal Dano (The Outlaw Josey Wales), Eddie Albert (TV’s Green Acres), Art Carney (TV’s The Honeymooners) and country music legends Charlie Rich, Johnny Paycheck, David Allan Coe and more.

Tanya Roberts (TV’s Charlie’s Angels) co-stars with a bevy of real-life wrestling greats including Roddy Piper (They Live), Sam “The Tonga Kid” Fatu (Highlander) and Captain Lou Albano (Wise Guys) in this raucous action-comedy from the king of death-defying Hollywood mayhem! The stellar cast also includes Barry Gordon (A Thousand Clowns), Charles Nelson Reilly (TV’s The Ghost & Mrs. Muir), Billy Barty (Foul Play), John Fujioka (American Ninja) and John Astin (TV’s The Addams Family).

Delirium (1987) Le foto di Gioia
• 2016 HD Master
• Interviews with Director Lamberto Bava, Actor George Eastman, Cinematographer Gianlorenzo Battaglia and Art Director Massimo Antonello Geleng
• Vintage Interviews with Lamberto Bava, George Eastman and David Brandon
• Trailers

Gioia (Serena Grandi, star of Tinto Brass’ Miranda) is a buxom centerfold working for Pussycat magazine. In such a profession, having an admirer or two is expected, but Gioia’s new admirer is a vicious killer! He murders her fellow magazine models one at a time, using a variety of twisted implements of death. Gioia is the lucky recipient of a collection of photos, each with murdered bodies arranged around posters of her. Renowned Italian star Grandi, known as the Dolly Parton of Italy, leads the cast in this Giallo classic, which features George Eastman (Hands of Steel, Blastfighter, After the Fall of New York, Ironmaster) David Brandon (Stage Fright, Caligula the Untold Story, She), Daria Nicolodi (Deep Red, Tenebre, Inferno, Opera) and screen legend Capucine (The Pink Panther, Red Sun). Delirium was wonderfully directed by Lamberto Bava (Monster Shark, Blastfighter, Ironmaster) – now see this colorful Giallo in HD!

Bummer. When i first saw that Code Red was putting out Delirium i thought it was the Renato Polselli Delirium. A crazy but interesting film with Mickey Hargitay and Rita Calderoni. Oh well . Never mind.

All I needed to see is one word ... Capucine! I'm in!

 

[borisfw]

I haven't seen Lamberto Bava's Delirium but it looks pretty good from what i've read. Will probably blind buy this. Seems to have a pretty good cast.

It looks like your warnings are being ignored by some members so I'm afraid more drastic action is now in play.

Thought it was said this title was still with another label? Guess it wasn't after all. (or did their rights expire or a separation in DVD and Blu-Ray rights?)
