Kino-Lorber Insider Announcement Thread (Read Guidelines Post #3) (22 Viewers)

A fair point, but yes, obviously, I was referring to the content, not the craftsmanship.

Hope I didn't come across as persnickety, as that was not at all my intention. You're absolutely correct, in terms of the subject matter being very un-Lubitsch, though I was concerned more with the emotional experience of watching the film. "The Man I Killed"--this was the original title, it was changed to "Broken Lullaby" on a later re-issue--was the first Lubitsch film I ever saw, and what surprised me was how close it was, stylistically and thematically, to his comedies, which I later saw. "The Man I Killed" was light in its camera movements, pacing and compositions, even though the subject matter was depressing. The comedies have plenty of melancholy undercurrents, while "The Man I Love" has moments that are almost humorous. And Nancy Carroll was luminous.

I was going to ask mr. Insider about this yesterday, but I forgot! I heard about it on Saturday, and wanted to know if it was coming! I’m excited!

I read that one of the reasons this film wasn’t seen for decades was because it was lost. Glad it’s back!

Terror Aboard (1933) and The Apostle (1997)... Terror Aboard (1933) and The Apostle (1997)... please let it be both Terror Aboard (1933) and The Apostle (1997)...

'The Apostle is one of my favorite films, and I had faith KL would release this. One of Robert Duvall's best performances of his career. Thank you so much!

 

[Peter Apruzzese]

They haven't announced The Apostle.

 

[Detour (1945)]

I think those are the titles that poster hopes are announced, not officially announced titles from Kino.

 

[Mike Frezon]

And THAT is why (well, at least one reason) I will...AGAIN...ask that members do NOT ask the Kino Insider about certain titles or make posts wishing for certain titles--especially posts which contain poster art.

This thread is very specifically (and for good reason) ONLY for Kino-Lorber announcements and reaction to those announcements.

 

[PODER]

Should anyone want to read about NIGHT TERROR on IMDb, it's listed under the alternative
title NIGHT DRIVE.

I saw One Potato, Two Potato when it opened in '64. Heartbreaking. I could barely stir from my seat. Although I was only 14, I was so stunned by Barrie's performance that I never forgot her name. She was a Cannes winner for this performance but was not even AA nominated.

 

[PMF]

Looking forward to my purchase of “One Potato, Two Potato”.

Oh, no, not at all. Just wanted to clarify my original statement. (And Nancy Carroll is always luminous!)

What else can you expect from a redhead?

My mistake. I saw the poster art and immediately assumed it was announced.

Interesting extra on F.T.A.

Boris Sagal's daughter Katey is a singer of some note - singing with Bette Midler's Harlettes ... I think she may have done some work in television ...
