It figures that Universal have finally decided to release BLACK FRIDAY (1940) on DVD given that I've only recently gotten hold of it on DVD-R:frowning:! Maybe I should seek out THE BLACK ROOM (1935) next so that Sony will announce it as a legitimate upcoming DVD release in the next week or two...
Seriously, though - it's funny that, owning all but one of of these already in one home video format or another, I'm still elated about this "Franchise Collection" and I'll definitely be purchasing it when the time comes. How sad is that?
Actually, I've yet to add any of Universal's various "Franchises" to my collection and I'm particularly looking forward to picking up the Gary Cooper one since it includes 5 wonderful films including 2 I've never watched before - PETER IBBETSON (1935; named by Luis Bunuel as "one of the 10 best films of all time"!) and BEAU GESTE (1939).
Besides, I've been on the fence about getting any of Universal's "Monster Legacy" two-discers until now but, I guess, with this new addition coming up, I'll break down and give in!
Such is the life of us poor DVD addicts...erm, collectors.
