Wow, did Universal get new management? They seem to be ramping up recently... Keep bringing the classics!

One can only hope!

So excited for this. Universal has been on fire this past week or so. Don’t know what happened but they have me buying again!

[javi92]

I'd love to be optimistic about this, but seeing as it's Universal, no way I will be buying this before seeing some reviews.

It would be better if this was a set of all the Ma & Pa Kettle films.

Maybe that will follow

I'd rather see a W.C. Fields set:

You Can't Cheat an Honest Man
My Little Chickadee
The Bank Dick
Never Give a Sucker an Even Break

But I'll take The Egg and I for now. Keep 'em coming!

Ditto, but this will do for now.

BDInfo scan:

First of all, for the benefit of people like me who obsess over this, I can confirm the disc is pressed.

An English SDH subtitle track is provided for the main feature only.

There is no main menu, only a pop-up menu that works with the remote.

Most/all of the video extras from the DVD have also been included, however, one of the 100 Years of Universal featurettes (The Lew Wasserman Era) has been omitted.

Can someone with a copy of this 2018 blu ray edition of "The Egg and I" post information about the region coding? Is it also region B, or region A only? Post a photo of the back cover, please, if you have it.

Went and bought the 10 movie collection of Ma and Pa Kettle on DVD from Barnes & Noble for $9 today I would have loved them on Blu-ray but no telling when Universal will release them and if they do, I can still buy them on Blu-ray since I only spent $9 on this set.

P.S.
I haven't bought a DVD in probably a decade.

For a split second I thought this was a riff on the king and I starring Humpty Dumpty from Shrek lol… yeah it’s late

I still have my 10 VHS copies! Along with my Volume 1 and Volume 2 DVDs and the complete 10 movie collection DVD.

I am holding out for the whole Blu-ray collection that someone will get around to issuing……….one of these days!

Never give up hope!

[garyd97]

My local Walmart got in a bunch of copies of the DVD collection with a new slipcover, and they went pretty fast.

Unfortunately, I think Kino would be the most likely vendor to do this, and they have clearly stated that they have no interest in releasing these films on BD.

Mill Creek (ugh) might do it...hopefully someone else.
