I watched Baby Boom. It appears to be a new transfer and I would guess 4k. The colors are quite stunning.

Interesting. Would buy for $20 but resistant to $30 now that TT do sales... if it's a 4k remaster though it's more worth the cost.

I'd prefer to pay around $20 for a TT movie but if it's a must have I wouldn't hesitate forking over $30+. Mysterious Island (the original release) comes to mind. Wasn't that a $34.95 movie?

It will probably be around later this year when they have a Black Friday week sale.

Yes, it was. A handful of the early Sony/Columbia titles were that price.

I ordered 10 sale titles on 3/7, shipped on 3/10, estimated delivery 3/16. Left Linden and arrived in Greensboro on 3/11. 3/12 it is 'in transit to destination' to FL. I chose media mail as I haven't had issue. Anyone else delayed? Brannigan was in that order, if lost am I just SOL?

It's worlds better than the DVD cover.

That is pretty piss poor, but at least the two of them look like real people and not these strange photoshopped contortionists.

If you're partial to the clear case without the logo but don't wanna pay $1.25/case plus shipping, Megadiscstore sells the the viva elite clear 2 disc cases without the logo at decent prices in a couple different quantities:

I ordered through their amazon store front and despite shipping from Canada I received them very quickly.

Casetopia also has a listing for the viva elite clear 2 disc cases without the logo but they've been out of stock for weeks. Their prices for these are pretty close to megadiscstore.

Additionally, if you're looking to get just one replacement case you could also email Screen Archives/Twilight Time and ask them for a replacement case--people have asked for and received replacements for way less.

Not really!

It appears TT is pulling back on the special features for some upcoming releases. For a while there, we seemed to be blessed with at least a commentary track on every release, but I'm seeing "Isolated Score / Trailer" listed as the only special features on some upcoming releases, which is a shame.

At least the TT cover represents something about the movie. The MGM DVD cover is just the lame headshots of the two leads and a supporting actress. I don't even know why she's featured on the cover, since hers is a relatively minor role. Maybe they thought that just the two guys would look gay or something.

The cover art for You'll Never Get Rich uses a publicity shot that was done for You Were Never Lovelier, which was also used on the DVD cover for that film.



I know the stature of these films aren't the same, but this would be like using a shot of Bogie and Bacall from Key Largo on the To Have and Have Not blu-ray cover. It's so bush league.

I'm grateful that this film is even coming out on blu-ray at all, and I know the disc is more important than the artwork, but I also care about packaging, especially since I'll be spending like $40 CAD. I'm bothered by this as a TT consumer and as a fan of Hayworth and Astaire who deserve better.

I doubt anything will be done about it now since the release is in a few weeks, but it could've been prevented if Twilight Time released their cover art earlier (why do they take so long anyway?) and received feedback.

They're supposed to be releasing You Were Never Lovelier sometime in the future, and now I'm expecting them to use the publicity shot that's on the You'll Never Get Rich dvd cover for that.
