I do not think that is true. They have many Fox titles in the works. And the last I heard they will until at least 2020.

Don't worry Twilight Time, I got your back! Full-res images of my custom cover are available by request

[Show spoiler]This is a joke, please don't message me.

I will be pre-ordering You'll Never Get Rich on day one, partly because it features Rita Hayworth and partly because the movie title speaks directly to me, given my state government civil servant job combined with my propensity to spend a lot of money on Blu-rays.

[rdodolak]

Pre-order date: Wednesday, April 5th at 4 pm EST

Special Features: Isolated Music Track / Original Theatrical Trailer

[Old Geezer]

Man, just when I think I've weaned myself off of TT - They pull me back in! How To Steal a Million and You'll Never Get Rich are day one pre-orders for me.(and at some point Fortune Cookie is going to be mine also.

Here's what Twilight Time had to say about the dropped commentary for Interiors on another forum earlier this month.

Good choices, but if I were going to suggest two "Columbia/Sony greats" for them to release, they would be Fail-Safe and The Bedford Incident, followed by a handful of others before getting to your two.

Where has that been said?

Even if they've stopped licensing more titles going forward, they still have at least 10 they've supposedly already licensed -- not counting the ones already announced for April through June. Marigolds is one of them.

I want to say something as a general reminder. If you have a complaint about certain aspects of a Twilight Time release, please post your thoughts in a civil and respectful manner.

No one is saying you cannot criticize or complain, just please do it in a way that is constructive and worthy of polite discussion. This applies to any thread in this forum. A few (very few thankfully) seem unable to understand this and posts have had to be removed.

Has Richard III sold out? Can't find it on TT or SAE. It isn't on the low quanity list.

Perhaps as double feature Trouble with Angels and Where Angels Go Trouble Fallows

Darn, that's one I had in my cart for my next order. It was still in my cart last night. Gone now.

Yeah, that was a bit extreme for a kid's film. Especially in the 60's

[Darth Marcus]

With less than 100 remaining, I finally pulled the trigger on Birdman of Alcatraz.

[little idiot]

Both THE BOUNTY and RICHARD III now seems to be sold out

"Who will ride the mare of steel? I saw it at the cinema all those years ago & loved it. I saw it on TV in HD last year, & it didn't look that great, maybe a new transfer would help. I love the way the giant solid gold bell falls down the mountain & crashes into the sea...& floats, the whole bell floating on top of the water, as if it was made of expanded polystyrene painted gold

I have to put in a big recommendation for Bonjour Tristesse. A very interesting melodrama featuring a wonderful performance by one of my favorite actors, David Niven, playing a well to do playboy who goes through women as he would toys. His relationship with his spoiled daughter (Jean Seberg) borders on something more than father/daughter, so director Preminger contrasts the beauty of the locations on the French Riviera with the tinge of ugliness surrounding these characters. Deborah Kerr plays the daughter's rival for her father's affections and turns in another quality performance.

If you enjoy films with David Niven (playing a womanizing cad), Deborah Kerr (playing an adult), mixed in with beautiful scenery and boasting a great transfer, and topped off with some dark, Freudian overtones, then this film should be on your list.
