"Auntie Mame" 2013/2014 ???

[Musicguy]

George Feldtenstien was quoted in press that “Auntie Mame” (Rosalind Russell 1958) would come to blu-ray in 2013. Of course studios change their scheduling all the time and nothing’s ever set in stone.

But where is this title, it looked great on DVD, but still no word if it’s even coming for 2014?

George Feltenstein is busy celebrating six years of Warner Archive Collection. Pretty interesting Q&A, but sadly no mention of Auntie Mame.

The Warner Archive has also moved into the area of Blu-ray. How are the decisions made as to how much restoration is ultimately done on these releases?
GF: Everything is determined title by title. One of our biggest successes last year was a DVD title, the 1936 version of Show Boat, which we own because Warner Bros. owns the MGM library up through 1986, and that 1936 version of Show Boat is something that people have been wanting on DVD forever and it required a lot of work and a lot of money for us. Of course our budgets are much smaller than traditional home video, but we spent a lot of money and a lot of blood, sweat and tears to release Show Boat last year and it was a big success.
So not everything we release are the niche titles or movies that you’ve never heard of. We have titles that have been major award winners and big box office successes that for one reason or another are not released in the main home video channel, and that’s what makes the Warner Archive Collection so special.
As far as our Blu-ray activities, that started in late 2012 where we were going to release one or two titles a month, and, just to be clear, those are not manufacture-on-demand. We manufacture our Blu-rays through our regular manufacturer because there is no way currently to do recordable media effectively in the Blu-ray realm. We started the Blu-ray initiative with Gypsy and Deathtrap, and I think we currently have close to 20 Blu-rays available.
This year’s Blu-ray schedule is going to be highly accelerated. We’re going to have a lot more Blu-rays coming out. We just announced 42nd Street will be coming out in April, which is very exciting and that’s a new restoration. Last year we had a lot of Blu-ray activity with things like Yankee Doodle Dandy, The Great Race, The Picture of Dorian Gray and one of the great film-noirs Out of the Past, because people are asking for more film-noir titles. That’s another thing, a lot of people think that Blu-ray doesn’t make a difference with these black-and-white films, but, boy, does it ever make a difference, so there will be a lot more of those.
We’ve found economic efficiency in being able to release Blu-ray in a very profitable manner, which is very difficult to do because Blu-ray has to be perfect, and, again, MPI came to our rescue in allowing us to be able to do that. So while we don’t have an abundant Blu-ray release schedule, each one that we do release is very carefully chosen and that’s been very rewarding.
