wow this is getting better all the time.

Learning about those movies that are waiting to be discovered.

Keep them comin

I'm overall pretty satisfied with the selections. Norma Shearer seals the deal.

Now if only Fox would start releasing their pre-codes. They have tons of them and many are restored already.

Great news and a set that I look forward to. I'm particularly curious how the delightful Three On a Match will look here. The TCM library print has scenes that look like they were run through a meat grinder.

The documentary included is not the one that aired on TCM. I believe WHV indicated that rights issues precluded that one from being included on DVD. Unfortunate since there were some wonderful interviews with actresses that have since passed on (Kitty Hart, Karen Morley). Hopefully this new documentary can incorporate some of those segments.

I just might buy this set for the two Norma Shearer movies!

Does anyone know whose body that is on the cover?

 

[Robert Crawford]

I think that is Norma Shearer's body on the cover.

It's Bette Davis on the cover

 

[Ruz-El]

sounds awesome! Can't wait for this one.

 

[Robert Crawford]

You're right, it's Bette Davis on the cover.

It seems that the release date has been changed. Amazon notified me, that the set will be available at the 25th of March. This month will be very exepensive then.

 

[KellyVO]

Isn't that the same day the Bonnie and Clyde special edition is being released.

 

[Marcel H.]

And the Gangsters Coll. Vol. 3.

 

[Corey]

Yikes. That's a lot of money.

 

[ColbyCo82]

Does anyone know if restoration work has been done for "A Free Soul"? The version I recorded off TCM last year was less than steller. It looked and sounded very dupey. I was hoping they did some significant work on it for this set. Anyone know?

 

[CineKarine]

Check out the Beaver's screen caps and review here!!!

Sounds great!

 

[John Hodson]

Indeed it does. Really looking forward to this set; Warner look like they've listened to the consumer and given us what we want (in spades). BTW, this is available at a very attractive price with 40% off at B&N right now (moreso if you have one of those very attractive discount coupon codes and you are a member).

 

[Eric Peterson]

I'm getting more excited about this set by the hour. I can't wait to watch the included documentary.

Too bad that WB sucks so bad!!

 

[Corey]

Are we still going to get Vol 3 this year? If so, my choices are:

-Illicit
-Ex-Lady
-Strange Love of Molly Louvain
-The Purchase Price
-Dance, Fools, Dance
-Havana Widows

 

[Corey]

I hope we get Vol 3 by the end of the year like they said.

 

[ColbyCo82]

Me too! Though, I have to put in a vote for at least one Norma Shearer film to be included...either Strangers May Kiss (1931) or Riptide (1934)

 

[Ruz-El]

Me three. That last set was fantastic, better then the first.
