Your thoughts on Kino-Lorber Blu-rays (3 Viewers)

[RICK BOND]

KL released the Dollars Trilogy in 4K, Vera Cruz and The Horse Soldiers on Bluray and The Great Escape in 4K All UA movies. But where is ......The Magnificent Seven in 4K UHD ??

I am also looking forward to the already announced Never Say Die and Sorrowful Jones as well.

Wouldn't be surprised if the rest of his titles get released. Obviously they're popular and must do well sales wise.

Hey, KL! Any hope of seeing either of these Paramount/Debbie Reynolds gems released?

I saw Hell Is For Heroes only last week (recorded from TV), I thought it was a very good little war film, with a great cast. There's another early Steve McQueen b/w war film, The War Lover (1962) Sony, hopefully it won't be too long before that's released as well.

I have The War Lover on DVD. I'm surprised that Sony have not yet produced a high definition master of this very interesting Steve McQueen movie. I'm sure that back in the day Twilight Time would have loved to release it on Blu-ray disc. Robert Wagner and Shirley Ann Field co-star.

At the outset of KL's deal(s) with Universal, here are the (presumably) Universal-owned titles I wanted KL to unearth. The following list is chronological; movies KL has delivered are bolded; most of the non-bolded titles are said to be tied up in rights entanglements:

Murder by the Clock ('31)
Terror Aboard ('33)
Menace ('34)
The Double Door ('34)
The Mad Doctor ('40)
Among the Living (41)
Man in Half Moon Street ('45)
Spy Hunt ('50)
The Glass Web (3D)('53) (big music-rights issue)
Girl in the Kremlin ('57)
The Night Runner ('57)

Not bad, KL.

nice to see Kino and Raro release more Fernando Di Leo, but i would have thought that they would have just did the third Italian Crime collection box and finished the films he directed

Glad to see THE COUNTERFEIT TRAITOR to Blu-ray. The old DVD had a 5.1 soundtrack, although the movie was originally released in mono. Paramount found the stereo music stems and made a new mix incorporating the stereo music. Being one of Alfred Newman's last scores, I would hope this option would be incorporated in the upcoming Blu-Ray.

What ticked my memory was wanting to see HUD, but I don't think it has made it to a domestic release yet, so I went searching for it on E-bay and found it as an Australian 2019 Blu--ray release from SHOCK ENTERTAINMENT for $15.00. It has a great 5.1 sound done tastefully. It has all the proper copyright information, and looks and sounds wonderful, so I doubt it is a bootleg. Although it says Region B, it is Region Free and also had free shipping. It took about a week to get to me.

MIDNIGHT COWBOY 4K would be a great addition to my library.

I am also looking forward to the already announced Never Say Die and Sorrowful Jones as well.

Were they announced? I guess I missed it. I asked Kino on FB about Sorrowful Jones and didn't get an answer. I like Fancy Pants but like Sorrowful Jones even better one of Hope's best. Would like to see Casanova's Big Night too.

Yes, both Sorrowful Jones and Never Say Die were announced on the Kino Announcement thread, but no release dates yet.

That’s correct!

It doesn't appear likely as most of November titles have already been announced which leaves December, one of the slowest months for new releases.

 

[Brian Ogilvie]

Sorry if I missed an update, but has there been an announced release date for the Karloff Mr. Wong set? Really wanna get them in hand. Hope it is still coming!

looks like things are going to get a little darker this Noirvember, Kino crossed the Channel to the Continent, keep it up!

Kino has been on a post 50s roll lately with a focus on films of the last 30 - 40 years. What are the chances they’ll release some of the mia titles of the 50s under their Paramount deal?

When does the next Kino sale start?

When does the next Kino sale start?

Since, the June sale didn't begin until late June into the middle of July. I expect the September sale to begin around the last week of September.
