Hi KL insider,

Any plans for the release of 80's touchstone movie Off Beat?

No plans.

This one should be released on Blu-ray.

KL Insider, this year marks the 40th anniversary of Bob Clark's wonderfully cast and atmospheric MURDER BY DECREE; if you'd care to confirm it's in the offing, that'd be smashing...and very much appreciated.

Great news on Pray For The Wildcats & Nightmare In Badham County, 2 of my very favourite tv movies!

Edit - Just noticed Nightmare In Badham County is listed in both DVD only & Blu ray list. Which is it to be?

There is also Columbia/UPA. TCM put out a CARTOON FROLICS DVD set, and we have MISTER MAGOO also on DVD, but there are still a lot of unrepresented Columbia titles like LI'L ABNER and others.

Well that's a bummer. I've been waiting for this one to go on sale.

Wow. Nice surprise! Might have to double-dip!

KLI:

Well we'll forgive this one little lie... Must have been added later - perhaps in exchange for something dropped?

I think the remaining Universal list now stands as follows:

1930s - 1
1940s - 6
1950s - 4
1960s - 4
1980s - 3

So just 18 titles left to announce. And a few of those 40s titles (at least 3, maybe 4) will be of the Bob Hope variety.

@KinoLorberInsider

Will any films starring Maria Montez and/or Jon Hall be part of the Universal deal?

Here're all the remaining TV movies from the current deal:

To be released only on DVD:

Amazons (TV Movie) (1984) - DVD only
Amy Fisher Story, The (TV Movie) (1993) - DVD only
Anne Frank: The Whole Story (TV Movie) (2001) - DVD only
Bounty Man, The (1972) - DVD only
Daughters of Joshua Gabe (TV Movie) (1972) - DVD only
Huckleberry Finn (TV Movie) (1975) - DVD only
Leave Yesterday Behind (1978) TV Movie - DVD only
Legend of the Ruby Silver, The (TV Movie) (1996) - DVD only
Quarantine (TV Movie) (2000) - DVD only
Running Delilah (TV Movie) (1993) - DVD only
Storm of the Century (TV Mini-Series) (1999) - DVD only
South Pacific (TV Movie) (2001) - DVD only
Superdome (aka Superbowl) (TV Movie) (1978) - DVD only
Trackers, The (TV Movie) (1971) - DVD only

To be confirmed later - still looking for the needed film elements:

Death Dreams (1991 TV Movie)
Wild Palms (TV Mini-Series by Oliver Stone) (1993)

To be released on Blu-ray:

Love Among the Ruins (1975 TV Movie)
Nightmare in Badham County (TV Movie) (1976) - Both cuts
Pray for the Wildcats (TV Movie) (1974)

KLI, we're grown men here (at least most of us) so can you tell us which TV movies were cancelled. Very curious!

An excellent question, would love to see the wonderfully witty and campy COBRA WOMAN in particular: "Give me that cobra jewel!"

[dunnbluray]

Hopefully A Few More Dollars and Deep Rising will be part of the sale.

This was heavily hinted at over the weekend.

By Tom Weaver over on the CFHB? I noticed that, but then I also remembered that the Kino Insider said some time ago that no films by Robert Siodmak were part of the deal. Then again, he also denied The Lost Weekend, and look what happened there...

Looking forward to The Lost Weekend. Another for my Billy Wilder collection.
