MISSING OSCAR NOMINEES ON DVD (1 Viewer)

[PODER]

I'm hoping someone out there might have an answer to this question. In the February TCM NOW PLAYING Magazine there are at least seven movies followed by the word SHOP, which indicates that they're available for purchase. These films are: ANTHONY ADVERSE, BERKELEY SQUARE, THE GUARDSMAN, THE MARK, ONE FOOT IN HEAVEN, ONE NIGHT OF LOVE and STATE FAIR (1933). Yet when I try to order them through the TCM SHOP, none are listed. I've tried calling TCM, and no one I've reached knows what's going on. Are these films that have a release date coming up? Any answers would be much appreciated!

None of those titles are on DVD.

The Mark is available as an R2 DVD I believe.

The Mark was released in R1 by VCI. Might be OOP. Widescreen, probably non-anamorphic.

Many thanks for the responses. What I was looking for, though, was someone who might know why the titles I listed are supposedly available through the TCM Shop. No one connected with it, or at least those I've reached out to, have any idea why they're listed as such. Could they be planned as releases for later this year? I apologize if I wasn't specific in my original post ...

Perhaps they're scheduled for February release by the Warner Archive? They have hinted at Anthony Adverse and One Foot In Heaven has been in the works for years. The Warner Archive's February release schedule is still unknown at this time.

State Fair is Fox, so it might end up a future Fox Archive release.

That's what I'm hoping for, Joe!

I too need many of those films for my Best Picture nominee collection... STATE FAIR in particular.

This does appear to be out of print, but it is anamorphic and looks quite good. Used copies are currently starting at $25, on Amazon, which isn't terrible, considering what a powerhouse the film is. If you never thought Stuart Whitman could act -- try this one!
