Excellent news - this will equal or better the French blu ray that came out five years ago. Only wish Warner Archive would stop using ALL CAPS FOR THEIR SUBTITLES!

I think what he's saying that see didn't achieve the status of someone like Deborah Kerr.

 

[Keith Cobby]

Eddie Muller has some great comments about her.

Is there a release date set for this Blu-ray of GUN CRAZY?

 

[Mark-P]

So glad about this one. The French Blu-ray was WAY too expensive and the Spanish Blu-ray was undoubtedly a bootleg.

Is there a release date set for this Blu-ray of GUN CRAZY?

We'll find out in the next couple of days, but it will be a May release date.

I have the French Blu and it's pretty good - tons of opticals in this film.

 

[Rob W]

I'm betting this will be the HD transfer TCM ran tonight. People will be very happy.

Preorder Link added in first post as well as below. Amazon noted a May 8th 28th release date which is a Monday so I think it's a mistake and that the actual release date is May 8th 29th.
