An Altman I have not seen. I'm guessing mid tier, but I'll probably snag anyway.

More Altman on blu is always something I can get behind.

I have a feeling Vincent & Theo will be the edited theatrical version that MGM released (1 hour shorter)...but I will keep my fingers crossed.

Keep your fingers crossed but don't hold your breath. MGM probably only has rights to the theatrical version, but it would be cool to get a set that included both versions similar to Criterion's 'Scenes From a Marriage' (but not like Olive's own 'Face to Face.')

Have any of these Olive titles licensed from MGM been released? Have they included (or are they planning to include) the supplements that were on the MGM DVDs? V&T includes a useful featurette with Altman and his son (who was production designer.) It would be a shame if they are dropping these but have not seen this discussed.

The South Bank Show about the production is included on the Network's DVD of the (4x3) TV version and that disk is recommended.
