International Via Vision Entertainment announces new premium Blu-ray label IMPRINT (1 Viewer)

[Robert Crawford]

The Blu ray of "The Country Girl" is listed on their site as being in "it's original Asoect ratio of 1.33 to 1. I believe that the film was released in December of 1954 in 1.85 to 1. This would mean that they just put out the old Paramount Academy Ration DVD. Too bad.

Right, "The Country Girl" was filmed February-April, 1954 and had its LA and NYC release in December, 1954. The wide release wasn't until March, 1955. There is little question that this film should be shown in widescreen. This isn't a "Shane" situation.

I'm SO in for Naked Jungle and Lady in a Cage. The latter had a lackluster (sadly, not surprised) BD release from Spain that I purchased with high hopes. Whew, these babies have premium price tags, though. Louis suggested that Deep Discount might have the better prices.

Im On the fence if I should get THE COUNTRY GIRL… it may appear in the PP line, but when?

Naked Jungle,House of Cards and Lady in a Cage are musts for me. Maybe Country Girl and Kitten With a Whip. Good month from Imprint. I wish their prices were better.

Walmart currently has The Harry Palmer Blu-ray box set at $61. Tempted to buy it but have a good feeling that the transfers are the same as the previous discs which i have. Nice extras on the box set.

Holy Shit! Never, ever imagined I would see THE BIG MOUTH released to any format.

AND (if anybody cares) they are including the Super 8 version that I once owned.

How expensive are these Imprint titles? Never ordered one before and this will be my first.

You can get most of them from DiabolikDVD here in the US.

I did buy some Imprint titles with DeepDiscount when they have their discount promotions.

Thanks, Bob. I think Amazon sells most all of them as well now that I think about it.

Same thing happened with their release of Bridges at Toko-Ri. They just used an ancient full screen master instead of a new one in its original 1.85:1 ratio.

So, Jerry Lewis at Columbia went up for preorder on Amazon. It's only two movies and it's selling for $90.

Should I expect a price drop as we get closer to release date or is this the expected price?

Here are all the new Amazon preorder links...

The Harry Palmer Collection has been out for a few months. Want to buy it since i am a big fan of Michael Caine but the transfers are the same as the old single releases which i have. The new release has a commentary on each movie and a few new extras but for me at $68 it's too expensive.

See on Amazon
