Designing Woman (1957) - Blu-ray Forum

Designing Woman

Synopsis: After covering a golf tournament in Los Angeles, sportswriter Mike Hagen returns to his New York home with a tan. And with a fashion-designer wife he scarcely knows.

Romantic pitfalls surface gleefully in this Vincente Minnelli-directed comedy featuring an Oscar®-winning* script and Manhattanites – an ex-flame (Dolores Gray), low-life hustlers(Chuck Connors, Jesse White) and an addled palooka (Mickey Shaughnessy) among them – who rub elbows and funny bones. Lauren Bacall plays the stylish title character. As Hagen, Gregory Peck gamely displays his comedic flair, pratfalling into a chair, slyly mimicking Bacall and coping with indignity as ravioli is served…in his lap.

Special Features and Technical Specs:
BRAND NEW REMASTER OF THE FILM
Original Theatrical Trailer (HD)
Behind the Scenes Mini-Documentary Featuring Costume Designer Helen Rose
Optional English SDH subtitles for the main feature

----------------------------------------------------------------

Woohoo, I'm looking forward to this. Though I have little interest in the Peck/Bacall relationship (I find both of their characters, and their love story, to be a bit irritating), I'm a big fan of Dolores Gray, who appears in a supporting role in this film.

Ah, Dolores... She's a lot of fun to watch, whatever she does, and it's a shame that she really didn't get started in films until musicals were on their way out, because she was fantastic. She only appeared in four films in the 1950s; what a waste. With this release, three of those four films will now be on blu-ray: Kismet, It's Always Fair Weather, and Designing Woman. So, only one more to go---I hope we'll see a blu of The Opposite Sex sometime soon.

Checking on it on B&N site and I only show it at 11% off.

Is there a special 40% off code?

In store, 40% off BD and DVD, no criterions.

Use a coupon with membership, if anyone else still remains!

Hariseldon has a 15% non-member code in the B&N thread.

I pre-ordered this through Amazon but it says it’s temporarily out of stock.

I can’t imagine there’s much demand for this so I’m surprised mine hasn’t shipped yet.

Anyway, I really want to watch this!

just got an email from amazon, that my pre-order is delayed and do I still want it? what a silly question of course I want it, I guess they under estimated it's popularity.

I wonder how long it will take for WB to issue HIGH SOCIETY on Blu-ray!

Just picked up a copy. Always something to enjoy in these 50's 'Scope movies. Give me a screenshot like this one, and I'm in.

glennstl · 06-29-2018, 04:21 AM

Has anyone actually gotten their order delivered? This was supposed to come out the second week in June. Amazon has said since release date that it’s temporarily out of stock. I then got an email update from Amazon tonight saying it should be delivered between August 10 and September 26.

What the heck is going on with this title?

I was browsing Deep Discount earlier and noticed it's listed there as being currently in stock.

I'd switch your order to Deep Discount. I purchased it on June 8, along with a couple of other titles, and have had it for a couple of weeks. As RCRochester says, it's in stock now. Add a title to get free shipping over $25, plus the current coupon gives you 15% off your order.

JoeDeM · 07-04-2018, 08:05 PM

Mine showed up today, so Amazon must have gotten more stock.

glennstl · 07-09-2018, 03:52 AM

Finally received my copy from Amazon today after it’s been out for almost a month.

Enjoying it so far... Gregory Peck is the man.

The colors on the Blu look amazing!

Just ordered from Amazon. It's only $11 now. The trailer has me interested. Love Gregory Peck.
