Any info on whether it will have both Italian and English dubs?

I have the two Moto sets that Fox released on DVD, and the first two Chan sets. I should probably snap up volumes 3-5 of Fox's Chan sets before they go the way of the dinosaurs.

I can definitely see them getting locked away.

I couldn't wait and ordered these three today. With Criterion's Ingmar Bergman's Cinema and Kino's Pioneers: First Women Filmmakers coming up in November, though, my budget's already been filled.

Anyone get ship notices from ScreenArchives on Sept releases? Can't seem to get an answer.

[javi92]

Wow! That's some cover for Short Night of Glass Dolls.

I love the Charlie Chan films and did get the sets as they were released. Some years back, didn't TCM schedule them to be broadcast only to back off due to protests about stereotyping? A shame really since the films always allowed the Chan character to have a great deal of dignity and he was able to easily outthink the characters who looked down on him.

Don't know, but I got a shipping notice for my sale order yesterday, and should be getting it (according to USPS) tomorrow. Can't beat that with a stick.

While stereotyping was an issue, the real problem (as with the Moto series) was the casting of white actors to play the character. Especially given that all of Chan's children were played by Asian American actors.

Anyway, I didn't hear about TCM dropping plans to show the Chan series, but they (and/or WHV or WAC) dropped out sets of the Monogram entries on DVD, which I believe are still in print (and I need to pick those up as well).

I doubt that. TCM shows the Monogram Chan films from time to time. If they were pulled, it was probably Fox itself that did it. I don’t follow FXM as closely since the quality of the channel is poor and they repeat the same films over and over but I don’t recall ever seeing the Fox Chan films on their own channel.

Can you keep your nonsense posts limited to your own label's thread?

[JupiterMission]

lol, hello, Bill!

For anybody that is curious: It looks like the Sept titles are shipping now. I got a notice this morning.

I checked a little further and it was the Fox Movie Channel back in 2003.

I've had my eye on the Italian release of Anne of the Thousand Days for a very long time, hoping it would eventually come down in price. Very happy to see this on the list.
