It's a fun movie, but it's definitely of its time. If you enjoyed the Mad Men televison series, you should get a kick out of it. Robert Morse was in both, but obviously he was much younger in the movie. It all depends if you find him funny, or annoying. Some good songs and light satire. It also features Michelle Lee, who seemed to be everywhere on TV when I was growing up.

I've had it on my wish list since it was announced, but I've been waiting for a sale or promo.

Was going to wait a little bit, but got scared seeing the low quantity for HUSH HUSH SWEET CHARLOTTE. I would've been pretty peeved if I missed that. So ordered that along with:

GARDEN OF EVIL
BOSTON STRANGLER
KISS OF DEATH
THE PANIC IN NEEDLE PARK

Folks, the low quantity alert emailed yesterday was for the stock at the Twilight Time site only. Screen Archives may still have stock, so check their site also.

Having said that, a lot of the titles from 2011 (Rapture) to 2014 are dwindling down and those that are known to be low at both sites, along with the latest counts, are shown in the Low Quantity Alert in the first post of this thread. However, as we saw with Two Rode Together, there is a chance a title can disappear quickly without a warning.

In other words, don't wait too long if you want something, but don't panic if it is disappearing at one site. Always check the other. I try to keep the LQA notice updated for those titles where it is known that stock only remains at one site. For example, Mississippi Burning and Hombre, where the remaining stock is only available at the Twilight Time site.

EDIT: also note that for the older titles 2011-2014, many are now only at Screen Archives, such as those found in the current bundle deal.

There is a random paypal promo that automatically applies a $5 credit to your purchase. I didn't notice an email but it applied when I placed my order at TT. So it may be worth checking out through PayPal to see if you get it or checking your email. I ended up with 2 orders.

TT - Inferno 3D, Pretty Poison, Tony Rome Double, Save Your Legs

SAE - 9 to 5, Royal Flash

Royal Flash is only at SAE, and I added 9 to 5 to make the most of shipping costs, plus the plus 4 is the most you can order at TT before oh have to use Priority Mail, so is worked out well.

Is Breaking Away sold out? I don't see it on either site. And it looks like Violent Saturday and Titus are sold out on Twilight Time's site. I do get the impression though that most of their stock is on SAE, so I wouldn't freak out quite yet.

Seems like it

Yep.

Looks like I picked up Breaking Away just in the nick of time.

I misjudged that one completely. Thought I had a few days since we never got a quantity update other than under 400. That one stings badly.

We apologize for the recent issues with checkout and missing shipping rates. As a result of our new streamlined checkout page, our shipping calculator had a few issues which resulted in showing priority mail only to some customers.

This is now resolved, but we want to take care of anyone who paid more than they should have. Please contact support if you were impacted by this, and we will make it right.

The issue was fixed by the time I placed my order. I figured it would be, so I waited it out. Thanks.

Ended up getting another 7 for $70 bundle: Blind buys of Save Your Legs, When the Wind Blows, Che, Follow that Dream, and The Believers; Stocking stuffers of TT titles I already have--Conrack and Guess Who's Coming to Dinner.

The bundle sale is still going on along with the Fox sale:

http://www1.screenarchives.com/bundles.cfm

Some of the movies that I'd recommend from the bundle titles I've seen (depending on your tastes) are....Audrey Rose, Beloved Infidel, Bonjour Tristesse, Conrack, The Eddy Duchin Story, The Front, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, Mindwarp, Mississippi Mermaid, The Only Game in Town, Royal Flash, and The Secret of Santa Vittoria.

Just made an order from TT's site:

Bridge at Remagen
Where the Sidewalks Ends
Snake in the Eagle's Shadow/Drunken Master
Kiss of Death

Really look it forward to watching these next weekend. Twilight Time has shipped my previous orders really fast but I am sure they will be busy these week with the pre-orders shipping. Hopefully, I will get them by Saturday .

[baheidstu]

For anyone ordering from Twilight Time's site during the sale, here's a $2 off coupon code I got for making a review back in January. The shipping is a tad too high to Canada, so I'm probably just going to order from SAE from now on. Plus I'm trying to clean out my inbox, so someone might as well use it now. Please post if you use it to let other users know.

Just got my copy of Two for the Road. Can't wait to watch it. Been trying to fill my Aubrey Hepburn collection this year.

[Blu Titan]

Has anyone had their pre-orders ship?

I'm very pleased with the Twilight Time sale on 20th Century-Fox titles. For many reasons, Fox has always been my favorite of all the studios that were active during Hollywood's "Golden Age". I picked up the following 10 titles, shopping at both the TT and the SAE websites:

Anastasia (1956)
Best of Everything, The (1959)
From the Terrace (1960)
Garden of Evil (1954)
Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison (1957)
Hombre (1967)
Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, The (1969)
Mr. Hobbs Takes a Vacation (1962)
Stormy Weather (1943)
Titus (1999)

I know there was some discussion a few days ago about Julia(1977), and I have to mention that it's one of my all-time favorite films. It's a beautifully acted chamber piece with a once-in-a-lifetime cast including Jane Fonda, Vanessa Redgrave, Jason Robards, Maximilian Schell, Hal Holbrook, Rosemary Murphy, John Glover, Cathleen Nesbitt, and Meryl Streep. Fred Zinnemann's direction is sublime; Douglas Slocombe's cinematography is stunning; and Georges Delerue's musical score is hauntingly beautiful. I've seen it on the big screen between 15 and 20 times, and at least that many times on video. The theatrical one-sheet by Richard Amsel was gorgeous (he also did the poster for Raiders of the Lost Ark, among many others); I had a framed copy on display in my home for many years. If you've never seen the film, you're in for a real treat, and the blu-ray is a steal at $14.95.

Happy viewing!

I got Garden of Evil, Julia, Where the Sidewalk Ends and Anastasia.

Thanks for the work sir . I missed out on Moby Dick but I have only myself to blame for that. The title was available for a long time, but I just forgot about it. I am sure there were quantity alerts on it or members mentioning low stock but I missed it...it happens .

I think TT absolutely "killed it" with these week's releases. I remember Nick telling me about Drunken Master a couple of years ago and it finally happened. Also, the Bridge at Remagen is an absolute must. Titles like those, there's no way I am delaying a purchase. Plus Hell on High Water and the Velachi Papers which I also plan on buying later on. When we look at TT's output (quantity and quality), its really impressive what the label has accomplished .

Definitely, looking forward to more WWII releases (maybe The Desert Fox) and Japanese films ...along with the other good stuff.
