Press Release SPHE Press Release: Columbia Classics 4k Ultra HD Collection Volume 3 (4k UHD) (1 Viewer)

[JPCinema]

I'm looking forward to the well reviewed TV version of FROM HERE TO ETERNITY and YOU CAN'T RUN AWAY WITH IT. 4 out of 6 titles I really want in 4K.

 

[David Norman]

I don't think any of the films in volume 2 have been released individually yet. Perhaps some will be this fall after volume 3 comes out.

For volume 1 individual 4K:
Lawrence of Arabia (steelbook) Seems sold out and only available from 3rd parties at high price.
Amazon product ASIN B09TLBJNPTGandhi UK Import only?
Amazon product ASIN B096Y9FK6CDr. Strangelove
Amazon product ASIN B094T5375TNot released individually:
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
A League of Their Own
Jerry Maguire

So those waiting for the ones they want in 4k may have a long wait.

Since you included Gandhi Uk, Mr Smith and Jerry Maguire both have German and other EU releases
League of Their Own seems to be the only non released item.

It’s worth checking both eBay and the HTF classifieds to see who is breaking up the sets to sell for pieces. I only wanted “Anatomy of a Murder” from the previous volume and found a reasonable offer just for just that title within the set - about the same as it would have cost as an individual release. I got only what I wanted and it didn’t break the bank.

People also sell off the digital codes to offset the cost of the boxset.

I'm rather disappointed in this 3rd showcase. None scream out for 4K upgrades like "Lawrence" or "Oliver".
I suppose "Annie" would technically qualify, but it doesn't match the emotions in the low budget 1999 Disney TV version featuring Victor Garber. Even as a DVD, that version will remain my go-to Annie.
As Good as it Gets is a terrific film but like the others in this 3rd box...all just fine as Blu's!

I guess that means you're not buying this 4K box set.

I'll buy it for Mitzi Green (and skip the awful musical)!
From Here to Eternity is one of my favorite films.
I've only seen the remake of It Happened One Night on TV, P&S and B&W. I must give it another chance, even though no one can top Colbert.

Wait, wha-? The 1932 "Little Orphan Annie" is on this set? That surprises me. It was originally an RKO release, although I don't think they retained the rights. It's only a fair-to-middlin' film. The over-effusiveness of Mitzi Green doesn't quite match my impression of Harold Gray's 'Annie' (I've read the complete strips from the 1920s and 1930s). Actually, I've been more curious to see the 1938 "Little Orphan Annie" film starring Ann Gillis. It's always eluded me. Paramount released it, but was an independent production. Has anyone ever encountered this version? It's not lost is it?

 

[battlebeast]

I'm dissappointed something like BUGSY wasn't included. It's not even on Blu Ray... Problems with the elements?

 

[Jim*Tod]

I wonder what aspect ratio FROM HERE TO ETERNITY will get?

I wonder what aspect ratio FROM HERE TO ETERNITY will get?

I would imagine 1.37.

Preorder placed, although my enthusiasm for the third volume selections could be higher. IMO, the only film in the set that is renowned for its visuals is "The Last Picture Show"; the stark B&W cinematography could be a knockout in 4K. The big budget "Annie" might qualify as a spectacle, but the look of that film is not among its strengths (Leonard Maltin called it "curiously claustrophobic").

Kudos to Sony/Columbia on the supplements---what an impressive list.

If there is a volume four, here's hoping for "A Passage to India," "Tommy," "Tootsie" and "Funny Girl."

I'm right there with you for A PASSAGE TO INDIA, TOMMY, and FUNNY GIRL, and perhaps COVER GIRL, GUESS WHO'S COMING TO DINNER, LOST HORIZON, THE AWFUL TRUTH, DAS BOOT, 5000 FINGERS of Dr. T, ADVISE and CONSENT... SCHOOL DAZE, MONTY PYTHON and THE HOLY GRAIL, ON THE WATERFRONT and... (VOLUMES 4, 5 and 6?)

I've sold several to people here on this forum or Bluray.com.

I understand a lot of people use various places like Facebook, but that;s a bit off my radar. Ebay doesn't allow Digital
Code sales -- or at least it's very inconsistent and folks have to play games in order to keep the listing from being cancelled.

I am satisfied with the iTunes version of "It Happened One Night". I am no expert and I am sure there can always be improvements but for an 88 year old film it looks and sounds very good in my opinion. It may be even better than what I saw at the Regency in NYC back in the day of revival houses.

I'm sure you are satisfied, but I wanted to make sure all of us are aware that HDR hasn't been added yet which may or may not happen between now and the October release date.
