Stewart Granger BRDs? Hey Warner Bros, Isn't it time for an upgrade? (1 Viewer)

Many great Stewart Granger choices already listed. On top of those, I'd like to see Warner Archive upgrade their MOD DVD of Granger's highly entertaining "mountain man" adventure film The Wild North (1952) to Blu.

Well, of course, being a Cyd Charisse fan, I agree with that!

Not Warner, but I'd also like some of his forties romps:

Madonna Of The Seven Moons (1945)
Caravan (1946)
Blanche Fury (1948)
Saraband For Dead Lovers (1948) - There was a restoration of this Technicolor arch costume drama shown a couple of years ago, & I expected a Blu-ray to follow, but it never happened.

There's a few more, but these were the ones I had recorded off TV (all lost now I've had to change my Tivo), but then there's a lot of great British forties films awaiting the HD treatment.

Is this where she sings Put the Blame on Mame?

OK, I'll bite. That song and pseudo-striptease number come from Gilda.

Oh yes...Ms. Charisse looks scrumptious in this.

I would definitely want Gun Glory on Blue-ray. It has never had a good DVD release. I don't consider MOD a good release and try to avoid them at all cost.

The Warner Archive DVD looked very good. So it would look really nice as a blu ray.
I just watched the 12 year old DVD again last year. Still a fun movie and still looks great and played perfectly.

I didn't care for Salome. Its pretty dull for a movie that wants to be an adventure or epic movie.

I almost forgot about that one. Yes that one would be nice too and it could really benefit from a new transfer.

She looks great but really she's too old for the part. I'd love to hear the story behind how she got the part. She kinda pulls it off but, and as always, she is still great to look at but...she's no teenager, sorry!!

Agreed, you can really see Granger coming into his own by the late 40s early 50s endevors. Where at least he was given leading roles and not just part of a supporting cast, like in 1943 The Man in Gray, with James Mason.

Jessica Rabbit?

I know I've posted this before, but I have the silent version of Scaramouche, it came with the French DVD of the '52 version (I had to import as Warner never released the DVD in the UK), & damnit, I still haven't watched it yet. I keep meaning to. Anyway, Scaramouche '52 as soon as you like, please Warner

Found the silent version on YT....

 

[Capt D McMars]

it just keeps on getting better!!

Navaro also played here in Prisoner of Zenda -

 

[Capt D McMars]

That would be great to have on Blu-ray, but it needs serious work.

I'd love to see a restored edition of KSM!!!

 

[Capt D McMars]

Another SG doing his thing -

 

[Capt D McMars]

Somebodys best of list, yousee yours?

I saw that Grapvine is the one that released the 1937 KSM but they're a pop and drop outfit, no restoration or corrections of any kind!! Sad!

I think a few labels released the 1937 version on DVD. Including MGM/UA, which is the one I have. It's been a while (~20 years...that's when MGM's DVD was released) since I've seen it, so I'm not sure what condition the elements are in.

I wonder if it's something Kino would be interested in doing.

 

[Capt D McMars]

I went ahead and got the MGM release check it out see how it is it’s gonna be better than grapevine for sure!!

Could someone who has the "Beau Brummell" blu ray please review it?

Thank you.

I thought WAC did a decent job, much better than the DVD.
