Does TT have any plans to release Calling Northside 777 (1948)?

The reason I ask is because a German Blu-Ray is being released next month. LINK

I ordered the UK Blu-Ray of Kiss of Death (1947) last year because I didn't know TT wasn't going to release it. A heads-up would be greatly appreciated.

Has anybody received any shipment notices for the latest releases? For some strange reason my order status is saying "Waiting on Payment".

I got my shipping notice today!

Watched Bonjour Tristesse last night, got this from SAE bundle special. Enjoyed watching Jean Seberg along with David Niven and Deborah Kerr.
Picked up Khartoum while browsing used BR at local Zia's for $15.

You've done well. Two very high quality discs.

Having surgery in 10 days and will be laid up for about 2 weeks. So I have a marathon of TT movies lined up: St. Valentine's Day Massacre, Moby Dick, and Birdman From Alcatraz.

That'll get you through an afternoon!

My order for "Kiss of Death" with SAE still shows as pending. Probably my last order with them, will use TT's direct site from now on.

Strange, I've never had any issues with shipping from SAE. I haven't ordered from TT direct yet, but have been happy with all my orders from SAE.

Same here. I fell for their "pre-order discount" but still don't even have a shipping notice for two titles that streeted last week and for which my credit card has already been charged.

Not very good customer service, and I'll hesitate to order from them again.

I'm just getting last week's released titles today from Twilight Time. I don't think it's SAE's fault, but a problem with disc manufacturer which put both retail sites behind shipping their orders out. Under normal conditions, Twilight Time usually gets their supply 2-3 days earlier than SAE.

That's what I understand also. I think it was due to one of the titles delayed a week.

Kiss of Death looks beautiful! Also, enjoyed the audio commentary with Nick and Julie.

Have to agree. Even when I've had to change or cancel an order, I've never had a problem with SAE/Twilight Time orders - or anything else in several years of buying from them

Today, I watched the Edge of Eternity Blu-ray. Vague memories of this film came back to me while watching it. I'm in the middle of watching it again with Nick's commentary. A fun film!

Very cool, I'm thinking of making a blind buy of it.

I wouldn't do a blind buy. This film has some exciting scenes, great shots of the Grand Canyon and was directed by Don Siegel, but it's not for everyone's taste. I grew up watching such films, but I'm not sure how it will translate to some of the younger film buffs. For someone like me that have watch such films beforehand in pan & scan on TV then to finally see them in their OAR like Cinemascope makes it a fun experience.

I saw this film in a theatre when it first came out. I was in my mid-teens!

One of the elements I like about Edge Of Eternity is that it shows how politicians can put pressure on police officers. In the novels of Raymond Chandler - and in some of the films based on those novels, as well as movies like The Strange Love Of Martha Ivers and The Big Heat - it is a given that the police work at the beck and call of powerful politicians and their financial backers, but it is never explained how that works in practice.

Yes good film with great cast. One of Victoria Shaw's few films.
