Warner Archive Press Release: The Opposite Sex (1956) (Blu-ray) (1 Viewer)

[John Skoda]

I think we have to be a little patient. I received my 4/$44 order two days ago, which I thought was odd because they never emailed me to say it had been shipped. Then today I got an email apologizing for the delay in fulfilling my order (which they don't seem to realize has been shipped), adding "we are working to deliver these orders to you timely."

Things are little screwy at WB Shop just now.

Just remember that WBShop and Warner Archive are two completely separate and two completely different entities, though. I can't remember who mentioned it here previously (someone did and I apologize) but Warner licensed the retail arm to Araca Merchandise who, in this case, is doing business as WBShop. Any announcements of a replacement program will come from the archive and will have nothing to do with the retail arm (which I strongly believe is about to go kaput anyhow.)

The new master is on HBOMax with the stereo tracks. So for now I’m just going to watch it there and maybe by the time I’m ready to watch it a second time there will be a replacement. But I fear that the disarray Warner Archive is in right now with all the people they’ve had to let go, that a replacement won’t be in the cards for quite some time.

Now that Warner Archives is only available through Amazon, how and when will we be able to receive our replacements for The Opposite Sex? Anyone?

Warner Archives are available through other sources such as Deep Discount - Warner Archive will probably be handling this just like any other replacement plan.

 

[Drew Salzan]

I am beginning to think that it will not happen. Fortunately, I was able to watch the new remaster in stereo on HBO Max.

 

[Mark-P]

So I officially threw in the towel on hoping for a replacement. I had to fix it myself. I ripped the high quality (legally-owned!) Blu-ray to my computer, did an audio capture of the HBOMax stream (perhaps not legal, but I'm desperate) and then married them together with Subler and adjusted the offset value to get a perfectly synced STEREO digital copy of the the new Blu-ray master.

 

[Drew Salzan]

Sad that we have to resort to these things.

 

[Drew Salzan]

Is there a customer service contact for Warner Archives? I am losing my patience regarding the replacements of The Opposite Sex due to the audio gaff of the originals that went out late last year. Thanks.

 

[ArnoldLayne]

I suppose I could buy a copy on Amazon now at $8.49 and get the replacement disc... someday.

That‘s funny and it reminds me of once back in the 1990s when I was placing a phone order for Cheyenne Autumn (laserdisc, I think) and the CSR pronounced it Sha-Nay Autumn. I was dumbfounded that the person had never seen the word Cheyenne before!

Not trying to one-up, but my personal favorite was the time years ago when Deep Discount messed up several items on an order of Bob Hope DVD double features and I got to hear the service rep say, or attempt to say, "Monsieur Beaucaire" several times.

Anything new on this? Somewhere to write to?

This has been an ongoing problem. I’m afraid at this point that we won’t get any replacements for the audio mishap.

I do agree with you, I am afraid we will never get a replacement People at Warner Archives don't care about their customers ...

With all of their phenomenal and abundant new releases, you think they would try to make good on the defective one from way back.

I've been occasionally checking for updates to see if this would ever get a replacement program but it seems like it had almost been forgotten about till you brought it up today. I wonder if the fact that this is a more obscure MGM film and maybe WAC just hoped most people didn't notice the issue. If it would of been a more popular title i bet it would of been fixed a long time ago. The WAC lay Off's and covid also might of contributed to the reason this just got swept under the rug.

Ironically it hasn’t affected their plethora of new releases.

Plethora? Do you know that word means? It means an excess, a surfeit. There is no excess of Warner Archive Blu-ray discs. There is an abundance but there is no plethora.

I stand corrected. Abundance. LOL.

'a large or excessive amount of something.'

It can be either.
