This was the case with several other recent Blus of older catalog titles like 'South Pacific', 'Quo Vadis', 'The Robe', 'An American in Paris', and 'Gigi', none of which I've seen in a BB store.

Russell, the same is true here in my closest store (Best Buy), and then in some Minneapolis stores. You don't see South Pacific or The Robe or Quo Vadis at Target or Walmart either.....and they wonder why classic titles aren't selling on Blu-ray!!!!!!! The amount of classic movies available on Blu-ray is so small, and then they aren't stocked (OR advertised), and then the studios (and people in some of the insider threads) tell us they aren't selling well. Gee I wonder why. I don't even see the Blu-ray listed of Anne Frank on Walmart's website, where I have a few gift cards to use up.
