Blake Edwards' Sunset and That's Life - Blu-ray Forum

Fred Sliman · 12-25-2016, 08:28 AM

As we continue awaiting his classic Pink Panther series, here are two lesser known and loved Blake Edwards titles in need of a blu release. Sunset at least has an anamorphic DVD release but That's Life was only released in a 1.33:1 disc that's years out of print. Hoping that these two and more of Edwards' work see release on blu-ray in the future.

Sunset would be a good title for Twilight Time while who knows who owns That's Life (Columbia released it theatrically but it was an independently-produced film that had its home video rights pre-sold to Vestron). It got a DVD release through Lionsgate but that was a long time ago.

Meanwhile, I'm surprised Disney Movie Club has never considered releasing his TV movie Justin Case on DVD. You think Edwards and George Carlin (in a rare starring role) would have gotten some interest.

I was a big fan of Edwards' eighties output back in the day but with time I've become more interested in his 50's to 60's output.
I recently bought Blind Date on blu-ray. I remembered finding it VERY funny during its original release in theatres but I was a bit disappointed. It has aged way more than say High Time or The Great Race. Sunset didn´t do as well at the box office. Here in Chile it was the only Edwards film for Columbia that didn't get a theatrical release. I rented it and didn't think that much of it. I haven't rewatched it since.
I would rather have Shout Factory give us Skin Deep from the Morgan Creek catalogue and Warner finally doing justice to Days of Wine and Roses.

I do agree on Skin Deep; a massively underrated comedy with my favorite John Ritter performance ever. I would bet we see Days from WAC one of these days.

I want S.O.B. on Blu, another Blake Edwards 80's gem, in addition to Sunset and Skin Deep.

Still waiting another great Blake Edwards's film A Fine Mess (1986) and Micki and Maude (1984) on Blu-ray.

Oh I forgot to mention The Man Who Loved Woman (1983) too.
