Sinatra: 100th Anniversary (2 November 2015) - Blu-ray Forum

Does anybody have information about this set? I thought maybe it was an international release of the Frank Sinatra Collection that's available in the US, but this is only a three disc set whereas that one is five discs. Perhaps Anchors Aweigh, On the Town, and Robin and the 7 Hoods only?

I don't think WHV have Guys and Dolls over here but I could be wrong. Thought it was with MGM or Sony, so that might rule that one out.

Either way, if these are new to the UK Frank BDs then I'll be all over this set

No, Guys & Dolls is Warner, but they hardly release any catalogue titles over here, but they're all multi-region & easy to import (I imported Guys in 2013 when it was released). Ocean's 11 is quite cheap on Amazon UK Marketplace.

There is no logical reason for supposing that the 3 films in the UK set will correspond to the most recent US released set of 5, minus the two previously available singly THERE - Ocean's II and Guys and Dolls - given that NONE of the five has ever been released HERE. It could just as easily comprise Ocean's, Guys, and any one of others, and is perhaps more likely to do so in view of the widely-panned rubbish encodings Warner's has given to Anchors Aweigh and On the Town, whilst that accorded to Guys and Dolls is exemplary.

Guys & Dolls is on TV in HD this Friday, BBC4 10.30pm.

The OP was correct, it's a 3 movie collection; Anchors Aweigh, Robin and the 7 Hoods, and On the Town.

Well the other two movies in the US box, Ocean's 11 & Guys & Dolls had already been released, so Warner took some stick in including them in the box, as people who already had them & who wanted the box had to double dip, so I suppose this is better. There's plenty of reviews online, I have Robin & The Seven Hoods & it looks great.
