Amazon listing

EDIT: May be a false alarm. Moderators can feel free to delete this thread if needed.

I believe that's been there for years

Yeah, looks like a false alarm to me unfortunately.

Great news!

Areyakiddin · 12-07-2022, 11:12 PM

I see that this website now has a page that states this is coming out in early 2023. I don't see any release date information on the Amazon listing, so is it just an assumption on the part of whoever updated the page here?

fred25_Ca · 12-07-2022, 11:50 PM

Plus, weren't Criterion the ones supposed to release this?

karsten · 02-10-2023, 06:00 PM

YouTube offers it for sale as an HD video, so an HD master exists. Why in the world hasn't this come out on blu-ray?

Next to the still-missing 1937 Prisoner of Zenda, it's probably the b&w film that I most look forward to having on blu.

Forgot about this thread's existence and assumed that WAC just announced it. Jokes on me.

George Feltenstein has said that Warners has a lot of older HD masters that are good enough for streaming, but not good enough for blu-ray.

It amazes me that even with their focus on the 1930s-1950s, movies like Captain Blood and Top Hat are still MIA.

Areyakiddin · 02-11-2023, 06:15 AM

WA wasn't releasing 30's movies for the most part until 2019 (with 42nd Street being the sole exception) and up until 2021 it was a small part of their overall lineup. WHV didn't end up release that many 30's movies on Blu-ray.

It's not really surprising that there are still a ton of major 30's movies left from Warner's catalog. George F. did hint a few months ago that Captain Blood was coming in 2023 which is really great news.

Why is this movie not on bluray yet?
This should be a candidate for 4k, it was nominated for best picture, and best director.

Cremildo · 10-20-2024, 03:49 PM

This thread should be moved to the wish list section.

WaverBoy · 02-09-2025, 05:48 PM

Still no Blu-ray for this? WTF WB???

Criterion? For realsies? That would be fantastic. I think I’ll wait then. Thanks!

Arcluna · 06-06-2025, 11:32 PM

Captain Blood from Criterion? That would be amazing!

For me, it is easily the one I most look first forward to having on Blu. And I’ll take it no matter how I can get it. While I think I’d prefer a Criterion release with bonus features, it seems more likely that WA would release it because of how much George Feltenstein values these properties, especially from Curtiz, Flynn and de Haviland.
