Dunno why MGM and Fox haven't gone ahead and released the last of the Hitchcock/Selznick productions, The Paradine Case. Even the DVD is now OOP.

Oh, great!
I was thinking of purchasing those 3.
Now i hope the box set is much cheaper than the 3 combined..

Ditto. I'm glad I held off.

Hopefully the box set's cover art is better than those abominations

SethRex · 12-23-2012, 11:33 PM

I wanted to see Hitchcock, but did not get to. This will definitely be a rental.

It's on a platform rollout. It still hasn't reached many cities/towns yet!

I'd much rather have another movie than Notorious, Rebecca, and Spellbound packaged together. I'd still likely get them separately since I prefer movies that aren't a series to be in individual cases, and it's entirely possible they will go on sale once the collection is released.

Believe it or not, they kinda grow on you. They remind me a lot of The Maltese Falcon cover that way.

Fry's has sold them for $7.99 on and off during 2012.

Rizor · 12-24-2012, 02:21 AM

Yeah, fairly lazy they're just re-releasing these. I was hoping some studios would release more Hitchcock titles to tie in with that Anthony Hopkins movie's home video release. Hopefully this isn't a sign that MGM/Fox aren't going to release more. I'm sure at least Lifeboat and The Paradine Case are marketable titles to cinema fans. Not really sure if the other titles they have the rights to would make them enough dough to be released on their own. I was hoping for a box set when I read this title.

Not that you would have known, but it would help if I had a Fry's here.

frys.com has free shipping sometimes.

Lifeboat would be a Criterion if released next year, right? I thought they had the rights now.

Glad I held off on Rebecca too, be nice to get three in one. And check me in for wanting to see Hitchcock, but it's looking less likely since I'm in eastern Kentucky. Not exactly big money making territory for movies like Hitchcock.

Ndume · 12-24-2012, 11:58 AM

Hitchcock, directed by Sacha Gervasi, didn't do much for me, so I'll pass on the blu ray. I already own Notorious on blu ray, but if the price is right, I could be enticed to pick up the 3-pack.

Do you know where you may have heard that? Hadn't seen it mentioned before and can't find a source.

Criterion does have the rights to Foreign Correspondent (which previously belonged with Warner) and will be releasing The Man Who Knew Too Much ('34) in a few weeks, but I haven't heard of them releasing any other Hitchcock titles.

brandon_260 · 12-24-2012, 02:37 PM

Hitchcock was such a disappointment. Definitely won't be picking it up.

Cinemach · 12-24-2012, 02:40 PM

I haven't heard about Criterion having the rights to release Lifeboat anywhere, either. It could make sense seeing as it's a Fox release, and they didn't see fit to release it with their MGM Hitchcocks. But that doesn't mean anything concrete either as Lifeboat was not an MGM pickup.

The next Hitch Criterion release for sure is The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934). Foreign Correspondent, due to its presence on the Hulu+ channel, seems to be on deck. In the hole is a guessing game.

Honestly, I can't. I thought I heard it somewhere on this forum, but it may just be speculation. Would be nice if they could get it, given they have two out and two coming. As indicated, Fox does not seem particularly interested in releasing anytime soon.

Short answer - thought I heard it, may not have, no one get excited, please.

I love it when I procrastinate on buying Blu-Rays I want and then they collect them for me, for cheaper.
