Top news this. Really hope it's followed by Three Little Words and The Belle of New York.

Victor/Victoria, Molly Brown and now Silk Stockings. To steal from Richard Rodgers, I must have done "Something Good".

(Love me some "Stereophonic Sound".)

True enough on the musicals front. Wish they would release some RKO noir.

 

[Randy Korstick]

They did release a couple RKO noir last year. I think they have been releasing a good variety: musicals, John Wayne films, Hitchcock, Bogart, some more modern films, some cult films. They have such a diverse catalog.

 

[Matt Hough]

And we got a great comedy with Father of the Bride, too. Hopefully the Tracy-Hepburn comedies will be coming.

WAC - if you read this, PLEASE, pull the plug on musicals and focus on the real movies. The Asphalt Jungle, Bringing Up Baby, Captain Blood, The Philadelphia Story, Mildred Pierce etc

Who died and made you arbiter of what constitutes a REAL movie?

 

[Dr Griffin]

How about, in addition to your great musical releases I'd also like to see...

 

[Astairefan]

I've definitely been waiting for this announcement! The preorder can't come up soon enough!!

Top news this. Really hope it's followed by Three Little Words and The Belle of New York.

I hope so too (although I'd be happy with ANY of the Fred Astaire musicals that Warner owns)! And, I hope, seeing the way WAC has released stuff this year, we should see more Fred (unless they are just going for musicals, since we also seem to waiting for the announcement of Love Me Or Leave Me)!

 

[Eastmancolor]

I'm for more musicals, and everything else. I'll gladly buy IT'S ALWAYS FAIR WEATHER and ARMORED CAR ROBBERY, along with everything between!

Let's be fair here. I think WA has given us a fair slice of all genres over the last few months, and I'm sure that will continue. Please don't put down musicals in that immature way just because you personally don't enjoy them.

 

[Robert Harris]

Cat People coming via Criterion.

Cyd performing the title number...

Let us not forget Janis Paige...she is one entertaining lady.

 

[classicmovieguy]

Oh I love Janis in this! Gretchen Wyler, who had originated Janis' part on Broadway, was actually supposed to do the film too. But just before she was due to be signed, Arthur Freed (or one of his associates) saw Janis Paige in her nightclub act, and she was offered the part instead.
