Five new titles announced:

The Long, Long Trailer
Rancho Notorious

EDIT - I just saw the other post - it's the 1939 version.

 

[Ronald Epstein]

Which version of "Goodbye Mr. Chips"? The 1939 or the 1969?

1939. It has been announced with cover art in this very forum

I'm in for all 5- Happy New Year, indeed!

 

[Konstantinos]

Unfortunately I'm not interested in anything. I just hope Captain Blood is coming indeed.

Mr F amazes us again! Yet no WB title - Capt Blood must be legit as I think Mr E or Mr C noted it was listed as WB Video perfect the the 100th!

 

[Rodney]

Excellent news! I am all in for all of these!

 

[DannyLewis]

I am in for all 5 too!!!! Great way to start 2023!!!!!

All of these releases are very welcome and nice to see a robust release slate from WAC again! I'm most excited about upgrading The Long, Long Trailer as it should be in the proper widescreen aspect ratio. All previous releases were in Academy.

And what's interesting, considering 2023 is WB's 100th anniversary, is that there are 4 MGM titles, 1 RKO and only 1 WB, Captain Blood, which is still in question.

 

[Alan Tully]

A nice spread of films, 1928-1954. Nothing for me, by no means a complaint, more a comment on my questionable taste in films. Expecting some very good things next year.

 

[borisfw]

Very happy to see this announcement. I will probably get all five. I hope some Tracy,Flynn,Cagney and Bogart are in the pipeline.

With all due respect, I don't think that listing for Captain Blood is legitimate (yet). It was noted that the page said "Warner Home Video." That's the retail arm of Warner Brothers (as opposed to WAC, which is their online-only MOD division). Warner Home Video hasn't debuted any catalog titles of this vintage on Blu-ray since 2015. Currently, Warner Home Video is only releasing catalog titles on 4K UHD (and I highly doubt that Captain Blood will be a 4K disc, especially not from them). On the other forum, it has been noted that most signs actually point to Captain Blood as coming from Criterion (the main piece of evidence being that the DVD went out of print about the same time as a bunch of other titles which have since come from Criterion). Given that Captain Blood was mentioned by George Feltenstein in one of his recent podcast appearances as being worked on (but in a vague enough manner that could suggest it could happen through either WAC or Criterion), I strongly suspect that it should come out this year (just not in January).

As for my opinion of this group of titles, I'm thrilled to see The Long, Long Trailer finally coming, and I'm also glad to see more Clark Gable finally coming (especially in time for his/my birthday)! It's up in the air yet whether I might try Our Dancing Daughters or not, but I'm glad to see that silent film fans are finally getting something!

Yeah, the lack of WB titles for WB's 100th is very suss. Makes one want to call the plans into question.
