Link to source, or mention?

Whenever this does release, I'm definitely wanting to pick it up!

I'd love to have all of these on blu, but I bought the Universal set last year as a bday present to myself for 50 bucks. Can't argue with such a steal.

We definitely need "Vertigo" on blu and to have all these other great Hitchcock films on Blu and presented together would be a fantastic treat. Here's Hoping!

I think the OP did what you did after the crash and resurrected a lost thread. The original appears to have been posted on May 11th.

A Hitchcock collection is due before the end of the year, and its a fairly good bet that the sets will be the same.

Universal Press Release:

Quote:

the studio's official press release includes a detail that "highly anticipated Blu-ray releases of Universal's Classic Monster and Alfred Hitchcock series" will street later in the year.

Thanks for sharing.

Vertigo is all I needed to see.

vertigo12314 · 06-12-2012, 06:23 AM

I hope this is true. Vertigo, The Birds, and Rear Window are a must.

dsman71 · 06-12-2012, 06:25 AM

Im sure that the Hitchcock titles will be sold separately, at least I hope so. The Birds, Rear Window and Vertigo are the big 3 for me outside of Psycho. Maybe at some point we'll get Frenzy and others.

ACMutd · 06-12-2012, 06:29 AM

Just missing a few titles, imo, Dial M for Murder and Shadow of a Doubt.

I want it so bad! I'm a huge Hitchcock fan and all those movies defined and redefined how cinema is shot.

I'll answer your question with another question : Why would Universal bother to release brilliant set,such as this,only in Germany?

Btw,this set is identical to Universal's Alfred Hitchcock - The Masterpiece Collection DVD set,released 6-7 years ago. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000A1INJE/comingsoonnet-20
