Ida Lupino: Une réalisatrice à Hollywood (boxset from Les Films du Camélia)

[OceanBlue]

Have done a thread search for Ida Lupino in the France sub-forum and there were no existing discussion threads, and have not long found out about this French Blu-ray boxset after searching in the database here for Ida Lupino Blu-ray film titles.

Does anyone have the recent French Blu-ray boxset release of the same four films that were in Kino Lorber's Ida Lupino: Filmmaker Collection boxset, called Ida Lupino: Une réalisatrice à Hollywood:

Most Wanted
Never Fear
The Hitch-Hiker
and The Bigamist:



It was released in France just over a week ago by boutique label Les Films du Camélia (stated on the Blu-ray.com database listing page).

Thanks for this. The box looks great, but the individual artworks are awful. Maybe I'll bite if the price goes down.

Last year, Kino's Blu-ray boxset was one of a handful of DVD and Blu-ray titles I dithered on (it's out-of-print now I think). UK boutique label Plumeria Pictures were supposed to be doing a Blu-ray release of The Hitch-Hiker, until it disappeared from the release schedule. I try to make sure I get the definitive release of a film and not double, triple-dip too much, and these Ida Lupino films are examples of that. I've watched her in sample episodes of a few anthology television series from that era and from those examples of her appearances on screen, she's become one of my favourite actresses.

Ida Lupino is one I've always kept an eye on, but I think I only saw one movie of hers ages ago. I will keep two eyes on her from now on, as you got taste.

I have purchased and received this set. Not opened yet. If anyone has questions about it ask away and I'll do my best to answer, just I can't compare editions

I wonder how the compression compares to the Kino, but I doubt there will be anyone out there getting both sets...

Yeah sorry I won't be able to. I tend to not buy KL because they are region-locked and yes, still don't have a player that can do those
