Saratoga may not be a great film but I'm buying this disc anyway!

I just watched my DVD again - the actual race track scenes are fairly ordinary and obviously news footage...it will be interesting to see how these segments hold up...the film is very entertaining but why are Warner selecting so many LESSER or MINOR titles for the so-few Blu Ray releases coming our of the MGM vaults.. After Spinout recently ( a weak Elvis) another weak Elvis, Double Trouble (ranked 5.1 on imdb) is in next month's announcement with only one other Metro title - Dance Fools Dance. How underwhelming an announcement is this? "Fools" is a 1931 very dated short 1h 20m movie ....what is George Feltenstein thinking if he has the full control of release decisions...we are receiving rare "quality" A grade titles, plus many inconsequential (average BO &/or imdb ranking) old titles...why dont Warner let go of their hold on the rank and file quality Metro titles that at the current rate of release, are unlikely to ever see a Blu Ray upgrade.....does not add up to good business...but then again, maybe B films like Penelope & Athena are walking out the door!

Watching Saratoga gives me a similar feeling to The Misfits. Always like the film, even as a troubled production - or possibly via its production history, because of it. Also see: Raintree County.

I saw it once. Oh this is the part where she died. Don't want to see it again. Too heartbreaking and with the body double slightly macabre.
