This appears to be the source still TT adapted for the Leave Her to Heaven cover:

Doubtful. The French release of Violent Saturday is the most revent in a long line of foreign releases which have reminded me that it's time to get a region-free BD player.

Not at all

From TT FB:

Update: we have found the new master, which was created recently, and so we will be doing a blu-ray of this title in the not too distant future...

So, Violent Saturday Blu is happening.

I'd like to mention what is, in my opinion, one of Capra's best but sadly underrated works - The Bitter Tea of General Yen. It was first released on DVD last year as part of TCM's Frank Capra: The Early Collection. It's a darn shame that TT didn't pick it up and give it the release - and recognition - it deserves.

Well I missed the Body Double announcement, but color me psyched!

Well, they've already given a good chunk of them to Shout Factory...

So it turns out the culprit in holding up one of my orders was That Obscure Object of Desire. Fortunately SAE was kind enough to cancel that one item and ship the remainder of my order (Christine, Bell Book and Candle, The Big Heat, Cyrano de Bergerac). I'm not sure why it would be so difficult for them to get That Obscure Object of Desire as it seems readily available at other retailers, but there it is.

Does MGM own any AIP films???? I'd like to see the Corman Poe films or the Frankie and Annette beach party movies make it to blu ray.

Yup, most of them, & it's about time the Corman/Poe films were released on Blu-ray. There's been a couple released in Germany, Haunted Palace & Premature Burial.

I was preaty sure they did. Well if no one else will do it, maybe TT will!

[NoirFan]

Arrow will apparently be releasing Fall of the House of Usher.

I'd be in for multiple copies of ANY beach party movie. They are my favorite series of all time.

The original BEACH PARTY was written by Winnipegger Lou Rusoff. He died just before the movie opened.

When BEACH PARTY premiered in Winnipeg, Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello were in attendance at the Garrick theatre here in town. This is the ad for that event:

i know there is a formula for figuring out the pre-order's on TT releases, but i can't seem to find it with 3 kids asking me to check their homework! any help is appreciated, otherwise I'll find it later

(in other words, no crappy comments about looking it up! )

I'll find it if no one knows or wants to say right away!~ Thanks all!

I'm sure those both blew away NOTLD, Fright Night, Christine....but commercial and critical success are worthless as far as drawing power is concerned. Both of those movies are on TNT or USA every now and then, and commercial breaks don't bother either one! Decent catalogue titles, but even at $9 I wouldn't replace my DVD's....and I actually don't have Sleepless....i doubt either one sell out

[Lutz]

Keep in mind as well that these are 10-20 million budget movies so that is a HUGE box office draw for both movies.

[Arkadin]

is the pre-order for Leave Her To Heaven going up today?
I would think so. Anyone know for sure?
btw: TT says that Major Dundee is now shipping.
