I'm hoping that during next year's Warner's 100th Anniversary celebration that Warner Home Video releases "The Searchers" (1956) and "The Exorcist" (1973) on 4K/UHD.

Another personal favorite that probably won't make the cut next year for a Blu-ray release is "All Through the Night" (1942) besides Bogart, what a cast of actors in supporting roles.

• Conrad Veidt
• Kaaren Verne
• Jane Darwell
• Frank McHugh
• Peter Lorre
• Judith Anderson
• William Demarest
• Jackie Gleason
• Phil Silvers
• Wallace Ford
• Barton MacLane
• Edward Brophy
• Martin Kosleck
• Ludwig Stössel
• Irene Seidner
• James Burke

I have the HD Digital version of "All Through the Night" for over a year. It looks Great ! Highly Recommended !

 

[Robert Crawford]

Speaking of great casts. How about "Executive Suite" (MGM 1954) as a Blu-ray release in 2024 for MGM's 100th Anniversary, and in its OAR?

The cast included (LtoR): Nina Foch, Walter Pidgeon, Dean Jagger, Louis Calhern, Shelley Winters, Fredric March, Barbara Stanwyck, William Holden, June Allyson and Paul Douglas. Directed by Robert Wise and written by Ernest Lehman.

EXCLUSIVE UPDATE


Good Morning, Everyone!

I know all of you have been anticipating an announcement from Warner concerning their November releases.

I received communication within the past hour from George Feltenstein who wanted to provide an update for everyone:


There will be no WAC new releases in November. Rather than have everyone waiting and guessing what the new November titles will be, I thought it made sense to communicate this to you, and ask that you pass this message on publicly through HTF, if you so desire. This year has been a disappointment in terms our number of releases due to many internal issues within the company. That's the bad news.

Now, the good news: Although we often have skipped December releases in the past, we will have two new releases early this December, and they couldn't be more different. Both are new HD masters from 4K scans off the original camera negatives. They are ATTACK OF THE 50 FT. WOMAN (1958) and THE NIGHT OF THE IGUANA (1964). Then, come 2023, the WAC releases currently in the works number over 50 new film titles, and there will be more BD classic animation and hopefully some new TV content. 2023 will look much more like 2021 did, with a plethora of exciting releases.

I'm sending this to you, as I want our consumers to know what's going on, and I thought you could post about this and it would serve to get the word out.

I purchased that iTunes HD digital in 2017, however, it would look even better on Blu-ray derived from a new scan.

THE NIGHT OF THE IGUANA (1964)

Great, I was waiting for this. I love Tennessee Williams' plays on film.

Disappointing about November and 2022, however, I'm looking forward to 2023.

Encouraging, at least, that it seems like once we're past the current "turmoil," the new management seems to be supporting the ongoing efforts of the Archive (or at least being "hands off" for the time being).

Many thanks to both Ron and George. Your respect for the forum members is greatly appreciated.

That's fantastic. Really excited for 2023!

 

[ahollis]

Thanks Ron for sending the update. Disappointing for November, but I’m in for the December releases. Such two different titles, but both up my alley. 2023 sounds like it will be a really good year and looking forward to it.

 

[Andrew Budgell]

Sounds as though we have plenty to look forward to in 2023!

 

[Joel Arndt]

Ron, Thanks for sharing George's update with us. Much appreciated. Looking forward to the 2023 releases and beyond.

I don't suppose Hawaiian Eye and 77 Sunset Strip will be the TV titles coming next year. However, miracles do happen.
