I absolutely love her films - this is a must buy for my collection! And it has a quite reasonable $45.99 MSRP.

 

[marcco00]

in the multiverse somewhere out there i'm having these 2 over for dinner--

 

[Thomas T]

I'll have to think about this one. I already have 5 of the 12 titles on blu ray, one of the titles Music In My Heart isn't very good (why couldn't it have been You Were Never Lovelier instead?) so I'd be buying it for 6 titles. Still, even at 6 titles it's a good price. I'll wait for reviews on the transfers.

 

[ahollis]

As Thomas T said, I also own 4 of the titles, including the 3D version of Miss Sadie Thompson but the other titles are worth it. Hell, Tonight and Every Night on Blu is worth the price for me.

 

[Thomas T]

And why do I suspect a box set from Indicator/Powerhouse with tons of special features coming soon. If so, I might wait for that even for a heftier price tag.

 

[Garysb]

I wonder if "Cover Girl" is tied up with another label. Twilight Time version sold out awhile ago. Would be nice if it goes to Criterion. Perhaps "You Were Never Lovelier" will also end up at Criterion. Maybe a Criterion boxset with "Gilda"

 

[Astairefan]

Looks like this set should be fun! I also wish You Were Never Lovelier was included (or the more recent transfer for Cover GIrl), but I'm not surprised about You Were Never Lovelier. As I recall, Twilight Time had said that they had licensed it, but it had clearance issues (music, supposedly) that Sony needed to deal with, so I would be surprised if Mill Creek got it (or Criterion). Obviously, I do hope somebody has it, even if it's Sony's MOD division, but, for the time being, I don't expect it.

I've never seen this photograph before: the top two pin-up girls of World War II together at some event. Terrific!

 

[cadavra]

It's also possible they held back LOVELIER and COVER GIRL for an intended Volume 2. After all, most of the cream is in this set.

isn't that a beautiful high quality shot? i found online earlier this year. i almost wet my pants

when i found this shot!

also there's a lovely photo i found of Rita with Dorothy Lamour having a cig together and

looking back over at the photographer. just beautiful women.

This would be great as I'd love to see some of Rita's early Columbia B-films get a release. Titles like THE GAME THAT KILLS, CONVICTED and HOMICIDE BUREAU were all on Amazon Prime last year and looked terrific.

 

[Robin9]

I'll have to think about this one. I already have 5 of the 12 titles on blu ray, one of the titles Music In My Heart isn't very good (why couldn't it have been You Were Never Lovelier instead?) so I'd be buying it for 6 titles. Still, even at 6 titles it's a good price. I'll wait for reviews on the transfers.

I'm in the same boat.

 

[borisfw]

Like some others on this board, i own 5 of the films.But the price makes it worth the double dip.

 

[Scott Merryfield]

I only own The Lady from Shanghai and Pal Joey, so this release holds some interest for me.

 

[filmnoirguy]

I got The Films of Rita Hayworth introduced by Martin Scorsese, Baz Luhrmann & Patricia Clarkson on DVD. 5 of her films including Cover Girl, Tonight and Every Night, Gilda, Miss Sadie Thompson and Salome. The first 4 are my all-time Rita favorites. Not Blu-ray, but I'm content.

 

[marcco00]

i too have this set, i was really jazzed when i got it and wrote a rapturous review on amazon.

there was one correctable flaw, all the color films are too dark, i have to turn the brightness

on my tv up to 100- Rita's hair should read as red and not brown. i had bought all of

these films already on vhs and was comparing the PQ.

as for this set i am jazzed to upgrade to blu! looking forward to Tonight and Every Night,

The Loves of Carmen, Down to Earth, & Affair.

most Hayworth biographers say she was at her most beautiful in DTE.

i look at Hayworth in her films and go 'wow, that's beautiful.' plain and simple.
