Universal continues to release catalog titles

Good news though I have to admit that I don´t like "Send me no flowers". In my opinion the worst movie of the Doris Day/Rock Hudson collaboration.

Ha, just goes to show how different we all are, Send Me No Flowers is my favourite.

Any chance these get individual releases as well? I already have the Pillow Talk digibook and want to avoid double dipping.

Wooden Lens · 02-09-2016, 07:16 PM

Very Unexpected. Here's hoping they did new scans of each title... but I won't hold my breath.

I don't know---I thought they had already done a new scan of "Pillow Talk" for blu, which got fairly good reviews? I wouldn't think that one would need a new transfer.

Not for "Pillow Talk" because that movie has already a brandnew scan. It was made at the time for Universal 100th birthday along with films like "High Plains Drifter" etc...

I'm on the same boat.
I'd love to have this package as 3 films in 1, but I don't like double dipping.

If only they could release individual digibooks.(i have the german one for pillow talk)

Same here. I would LOVE this set, but then my BEAUTIFUL digibook of Pillow Talk would seem out of place.

I am hoping for individual releases as well.

JoeDeM · 02-09-2016, 10:52 PM

Great news, l was hoping they would release the other 2 films.

Breather · 02-09-2016, 11:05 PM

Another vote for individual releases here. I already bought the Pillow Talk digibook for my mom on Mother's Day a couple years ago. Although I'm just glad she'll get the chance to get the other two films on BD, whether individually or part of the set.

Universal has a bit of a track record for releasing movies individually a few months after they debut in a set. The Spielberg and Eastwood collections, for instance. Hopefully, that trend continues.

dsfan1 · 02-10-2016, 12:08 AM

So excited about this release! Please bring on Move Over, Darling and the Thrill of it All.

Also, WB please release Love Me or Leave Me with James Caney and all Day's movies!

Could do, but I'd be surprised. Universal prices for Blu-rays are very reasonable, I'm sure this set will come down in price, so it's no more expensive to buy this set than it would be to buy the two titles on their own.

...& I hope we see The Thrill Of It All, my favourite DD.

John_Drake · 02-10-2016, 12:18 AM

Glad I held back from buying Pillow Talk, I hoped a collection would be forthcoming.

That cover looks absolutely dreadful. As though some exec commissioned their "gifted" relative to do it.

BluPat · 02-10-2016, 12:19 AM

Hell YES! Finally! Love these Rock and Doris movies! I have the Pillow Talk Digibook but I will gladly buy this! Too bad Universal wouldn't or couldn't get Doris to do commentary. Or I don't assume she did since she stays out of the spotlight now.

Ha-ha! I was thinking that it looks like it was done by whoever ruined Roger Moore's face on the recent round of James Bond releases.

Glad to see these hit Blu-ray, but doubtful I will upgrade from the DVD set. My wife will not care about PQ improvement, and I can save some $$.

HotRats · 02-10-2016, 10:05 AM

That cover is spectacularly bad, even bad Photoshop would be better, an epic fail compared with the DVD box Romance Collection (which also had a nice eight track CD). I wonder if Pillow Talk will be the same disc as already issued or if the Universal 100 features will be removed? In any case I'll wait to see if individual discs are made available as I already have the Pillow Talk digibook.

It would be nice if The Thrill Of It All and Man's Favorite Sport? were issued on blu

quickdraw · 02-10-2016, 02:44 PM

The only word that comes to mind for that cover is Eeeeech. What the hell??
