Thanks for sharing those. I've got a good feeling about the eventual Blu-ray release.

The Lightbox in Toronto will be screening this next month. Super excited since this will be my first time to see Rita Hayworth on the big screen. Nothing of a 4k restoration is mentioned in the listing, so I've emailed them to get some information on what print they are using.

TCM has just listed a Blu-ray/DVD combo of the film for their Vault Collection. The release date is January 27, 2013 and is exclusive for TCM.

Nice! I have their previous release, The Iron Petticoat, and was wondering if there would be more any time soon. This is a great film! Surprised it's not getting a higher profile release.

I wish Sony would go with TCM instead of TT. Movies are less money, and don't appear to have a limit.

You have a point..but why not mass release it if they did it for 'Ishtar'? Seems the bottom line is what matters most to them and, also, makes this classic less visible to the general public.

Two things about Sony and the bottom line...

The bottom line is a legitimate concern. If selling through TT or TCM (or Sony or Mill Creek or Image or whomever) makes them more money then it's not unreasonable of them to go that route. They're not a charity.

They don't exactly skimp when it comes to taking care of their libraries. Whatever they might do with them afterwards, there's really no question that they put a lot of time, expertise and money into restoring and mastering their properties. Say whatever else you want about Sony, they appear to be very responsible custodians of the films they own.

This is starting to look like an interesting year as far as they're concerned.

Grindhouse Releasing is coming out with The Swimmer and now there's this release through TCM. Neither one is cheap but neither one is limited to XXX copies either. They also seem to be a little more inclined to do direct releases (which are pretty affordable).

It's going to be interesting to see how this all shakes out.

I'm also wondering where the hell Gilda is going to end up now. It seemed like a natural for Criterion but to be honest it's an even better fit for TCM.

Outstanding!

I was sure that Rififi was going to be the best new Blu-ray of January 2014. I guess that I was wrong.

I'm all over this.

EDIT: I just pre-ordered. $29.94 is steep, but I've been excited to see this movie forever.

If I get this I might hold onto the old sony released dvd since that has different extras.

Such exciting news! Does anyone know when TCM charges for pre-orders? At time of order or at time of ship?

dsman71 · 01-09-2014, 03:28 PM

Too bad it has different extras but Im game for this one. I hardly listen to commentaries anyway...but I like that the movies have them whenever I do decide to listen to it

Braktastic · 01-09-2014, 03:56 PM

How does one get something on the front page of this website? This release needs some love. Perhaps a successful TCM exclusive launch will garner more titles.

Scottie · 01-09-2014, 04:00 PM

Using the promo code "TCMGIFT14", I was able to get free 3-7 day shipping, thus giving me a pre-order total of $24.99.

Don't get me wrong, I'd prefer a wide release, and this film deserves one. But given the choice between TT, and TCM, I'd choose the latter everytime.

Thanks! I re-ordered with this code. I still have to pay VA sales tax though.
