We can't do anything about Amazon screw-ups. All we could do is bring it to their attention and we've done that, we hope the incorrect price for Stryker and this Loophole issue is fixed soon. You can always buy them from other sites or directly from KL.

MisterLime:

Great news on Twist of Fate.
Any chance you will offer the original UK title sequence as an extra?

Never heard of this film before, but you had me at "Ginger Rogers!" Any more of her films in the works for blu? If not, I hope you are able to license a few more of her films!

Thank you Kino-Lorber for Visit to a Small Planet...you have made a lot of Jerry Lewis fans very happy with this announcement...and a new HD transfer! This is one of Jerry's best and very enjoyable...and for me, tremendously nostalgic as it is perhaps the first film I remember seeing in a theater first run in 1960, when I was almost 5...Great job bringing this to disc for the first time ever! Love you guys!

Certainly a delirium of sarcastic irony for one of Jerry Lewis's best movies to be based on a play by Gore Vidal...Love it!

Very happy to see a bluray release. I've had a DVD from Germany for some time but can now retire it.

Very excited for the Jerry Lewis film Visit to a Small Planet . Another new release by KL that's a day one buy for me . Any chance for the Jerry Lewis film Way Way Out ? Not in the same class as Visit to a Small Planet but still and unreleased Jerry Lewis film . I believe it was released by Fox.

There is money to be made from a company such as Kino releasing the classic series The Outer Limits on blu-ray. But just as importantly, it would engender publicity and great good will among extremely passionate fan bases of both this historically seminal series as well as science fiction. Make it so!

MisterLime,

You mentioned several posts back the upcoming release of The Pied Piper.

I take it that this is the 50s film starring Van Johnson?

Unfortunately, it is.

I actually believe it's the 1972 Paramount release directed by Jacques Demy ("The Umbrellas of Cherbourg"). It's an interesting film starring Donovan and Jack Wild. It had previously been released on DVD by Legend Films. Here's the Amazon link to that version:

I'm guessing this is correct because Kino is also releasing THE OPTIMISTS with Peter Sellers which was another Legend release of a Paramount film.

No, its the 1972 film directed by Jacques Demy and starring Donovan, Donald Pleasence and John Hurt

Sorry if I missed this but is there any chance for "A Place in the Sun" for bluray release? One of my all time favorites.

None of the films previously released by Paramount on DVD is part of this deal. Most of the titles are first time on DVD and Blu-ray, some are previously released titles Paramount had licensed to Legend and Lionsgate/Artisan.

I should have remembered that. Thanks.

Bummer. "The President's Analyst" cries out for a blu-ray release. One of the all-time great black comedies.

 

[Keith Cobby]

MisterLime are there any VistaVision films in the pipeline. Thinking of Hell's Island, Maracaibo, The Devil's Hairpin etc ?

No, we don't. Many of the unreleased VistaVision titles have legal issues, like music clearance, etc. I'm pretty sure Hell's Island, But Not For Me are two of them, there are more. Also, the surviving film elements for some these line The Sad Sack, etc are in poor shape, and the remastering them may be a difficult and costly task.
