Oh wow!
The Digital Bits just announced that One, Two, Three (one of the funniest movies of all time) along with other Billy Wilder MGM films will be released on July 15!
One, Two, Three has been one of my most wanted titles since I caught it and was enraptured by it on TCM by accident two years ago. An incredible film and here's hoping that it gets a pristine anamorphic transfer for this brilliant film (shot in scope so it NEEEDS anamorphic!)
Other titles being released for the first time include:
Avanti!
Kiss Me Stupid
The Private LIfe of Sherlock Holmes (previously reported as coming)
There will also be an MGM Billy Wilder collection that will include the above four new titles along with
Some LIke it Hot
The Apartment
Irma La Dulce
Witness for the prosecution
The Fortune Cookie
In all nine titles in the set for a MSRP of 129.96
alongside Paramount's Wilder collection, a total Wilder Newbie could get almost all his great films with a mere two purchases.
No word on whether or not The Apartment will be a new DVD, I highly doubt it, but if it were I would buy the set, and sell my copies of Some Like It Hot and the Apartment as it is, budget constraints force me to pick only two (or one EEEP!) of the new release titles. in my opinion the only thing wrong MGM is doing with this release is not providing a new Special edition of the Apartment, otherwise this is incredible, wonderful, outstanding news.
