I have a few of the Rollin disks, and they're quite nice. I also have A STAR IS BORN and NOTHING SACRED. Both look like they were taken from beat-up 35mm Technicolor prints, but I say that as good thing, because that's all that's left of them now. Kino has done a good job of going back to the original elements of public-domain eyesores, and delivering sold warts-an-all transfers with a minimum of waxy filtering. It's kind of a breath of fresh air for these titles that have always looked like they're dozen generations away from their original negatives and prints. Rumor has i that they also have the rights to HATCHET FOR THE HONEYMOON too.

There are German releases of LEGEND OF HELL HOUSE, HAUNTED PALACE, LAST MAN ON EARTH, and all those UK Hammer titles on the way. I just wish I knew if US releases were possible or likely before I dump extra money on importing films from other regions.

Mar 9 12 2:38 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	The review on DVD BEAVER illustrated that it was bit better than the MGM DVD, but not a great example of what Blu-ray can offer. I don't know how it looks in motion, but the screen-caps look kinda nice. http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film/DVDCompare10/the_last_man_on_earth_.htm Guess I'm content with the MGM DVD, if I were putting in an order to Amazon DE, then I might throw it on board, but I'd never special-order it alone.

Mar 9 12 4:43 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Potentially good news (pardon me for being a bit skeptical) on GORGO and also NIGHT TIDE, a real favorite of mine! I agree about the two Technicolor Selznicks on Blu, both the best they've ever looked, and maybe ever can unless something else exists on them I'm not aware of. SAM33

I didn't buy the original set, and these four are the remaining ones I thought about getting -- a definite deal IMO. Contains: DEADLY FRIEND / EYES OF A STRANGER / THE HAND / SOMEONE'S WATCHING ME http://www.amazon.com/Fil...F8&qid=1331772517&sr=1-8 Kundun Rat Terrier: 8/16/02 - 3/26/11. RIP, Ku.

They appear to be FOX, not Twilight Time. It's kinda sad that a title as important as THE GRAPES OF WRATH would be available only through a single, relatively obscure site (compared to Amazon or Barnes & Noble).

Mar 15 12 3:22 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Heading for blu ray (30th April, though this is only a provisional date) is Karloff's THE GHOUL, from Network. They released the DVD a few years back which I assume used the same transfer as the superb MGM r1 DVD. No extras listed at present. also, they are planning a BD release of 1936's THINGS TO COME

It's kinda sad that a title as important as THE GRAPES OF WRATH would be available only through a single, relatively obscure site (compared to Amazon or Barnes & Noble). Correct--these are not Twilight Time limited editions. Apparently this is part of a new program for Fox to release two SAE exclusive Blu-rays each month. Whether these titles will get a wide release late on has not been announced, although I would think that if something like STARS AND STRIPES FOREVER gets a wide release, the much better-known GRAPES OF WRATH and ZORBA would also get wide releases, probably six months or so after their SAE debut.
