Watching Hilda Crane, beautiful transfer both picture and sound

So, does Twilight Time have Hal Ashby's Shampoo? I know that Grover Crisp said quite a while ago that they had completed work on this title but while other titles completed around the same time have all emerged on blu-ray this one still has not.

Perhaps 2018 is the year?

Wouldn't It Be Nice?

Wouldn't It Be Nice?

And wouldn't it also be nice if TT could bring their last DVD, The Left Hand of God to blu ray. And speaking of Grover Crisp, when will the 4K scan of John Ford's The Long Grey Line see the light of day on blu?

The Flim Flam Man hasn't been brought to Blu-ray either, has it?

Afraid not. Even checking other regions, all I've seen are DVDs. So I'm still waiting and hoping for it to happen someday.

Another Marilyn title that should be out on Blu-ray is The Prince and the Showgirl. And I am really surprised that Warner Archive has not released the restored roadshow edition of Raintree County in all this time. It's been restored, TCM screens it periodically in its proper aspect ratio, so where is the Blu-ray already?

I don't mean to derail the TT thread further, but Andy, since you're a new member of HTF, following is a link to the 7 plus year-old thread regarding Raintree County. I'm sure it'll take you longer to read every comment as opposed to watching the film. Long story short, even though the elements are broadcast worthy, they aren't in any condition for a quality Blu-ray presenation at this time and the cost to restore them would be prohibitive. This has been confirmed by HTF Insider and restoration expert Robert Harris.

Regarding The Prince and the Showgirl, I agree that it would be a worthy release on Blu through the Archive, but again it depends upon the condition of the elements, cost and where it stands in the line-up with other potential releases. With the enormous catalogue of titles owned by Warner, I'm sure the task of deciding what to release must be daunting.

Also, to find out more info. on HTF regarding either Raintree County or the Warner Archive, you can always do a search. There are numerous discussions on both topics.

Showgirl looks great on DVD, so I can't imagine why it couldn't be released on Blu-ray.

If 20th Century Fox ever remasters it I'm sure Twilight Time would release it.

Any Chance of Twilight Time releasing a blu ray of Stagecoach (1966)? Which was previously released by TT on DVD.
HDNET movies is showing a very nice looking HD version. 1st time I saw it and was surprised how much I liked it. Not up to the 1939 version but given its reputation I think a bit underrated.

Wonder if Sink the Bismarck! could be a possible future release for TT? I would love an upgrade from the DVD.

Sink The Bismarck! would be an absolute must buy for me, too - superb model work from a legendary Lydecker brother:

I was a kid when Sink the Bismarck! first came out, and even though my dad served in the Pacific in World War II, he never wanted to talk much about the war. I certainly didn't know at that young age anything about the war in the Atlantic, so Sink the Bismarck! was a great lesson for my brother and me. Always found the movie riveting.

I know they have said previously they have the license to release the movie on blu, but they were waiting for a new transfer. I asked them about it on Facebook at the beginning of May, and they indicated no news yet on it.

That DVD sold out pretty quickly, too, as I recall.

Is this any help - I have this version and it looks great.

It's region B, though.

Showgirl looks great on DVD, so I can't imagine why it couldn't be released on Blu-ray.

Well, it looks nice but I would hardly call it great looking. Also, it's a full frame job rather an anamorphic wide screen transfer. Definitely needs some restoration work before a blu release. Warners knows their stuff and they're quite aware of how in demand Mornoe titles are. If it hasn't been released yet, there's a good reason.

Any chance of TAMING OF THE SHREW (1966) THE WRONG BOX?

 

[Bryan^H]

'The Bride' is coming from Shout Factory. For a long time I had hoped Twilight Time would release this . I'm guessing the transfer wasn't good enough, and TT passed on it.

 

[PMF]

Any chance that TT will ever be subletting a room from within their warehouse?.
