Desperately awaiting that Lost Weekend announcement

[Kino Lorber Insider]

Coming November 5th!

Woman in Hiding (1950) with optional English subtitles
• Audio Commentary by Film Historian Kat Ellinger
• Theatrical Trailer

B&W 97 Minutes 1.37:1 Not Rated
Newlywed Deborah Chandler Clark (Ida Lupino, Road House) discovers on her honeymoon that her husband (Stephen McNally, Winchester ’73) may have murdered her father for business reasons… and now wants to kill her. After surviving an attempt on her life, she disappears, moving to another town and changing her name. She meets a drifter and ex-GI named Keith Ramsey (Howard Duff, The Naked City) who may know more than he’s letting on. Woman in Hiding marks the first pairing of Lupino and co-star Howard Duff, who would marry in 1951 and appear in four more features together including While the City Sleeps and as guest villains on the hit Batman TV series. Beautifully shot by legendary DP William H. Daniels (Cat on a Hot Tin Roof) and directed by Michael Gordon (Portrait in Black).

Thank you for the update. Was hoping for a late fall/winter announcement.

For some reason, I had thought this was going to be the same video as has been released overseas, so this is great to hear, even if it means a longer wait.

• Theatrical Trailer

B&W 92 Minutes 1.37:1 Not Rated
From Robert Hamer, the legendary director of Kind Hearts and Coronets, Dead of Night and The Detective! Featured in Time Out’s 100 Best British Films list, It Always Rains on Sunday is considered one of the greatest achievements of 1940s British cinema. Googie Withers (Night and the City) stars as Rose Sandigate, a Bethnal Green housewife whose Sunday is turned upside down by the reappearance of an old flame who is now an escaped convict seeking protection from the police. A rare glimpse into life in London’s East End post WWII, It Always Rains on Sunday was Withers’ last film for Ealing Studios, and due to her wonderful performance as a woman trapped in a claustrophobic domesticity, it remains one of her best. The great Douglas Slocombe (The Lion in Winter, Raiders of the Lost Ark) beautifully shot this classic film noir in glorious black-and-white.

OSCAR WINNER: BEST SCREENPLAY

B&W 97 Minutes 1.37:1 Not Rated
English scientist Professor Willingdon (Barry Jones, Brigadoon) runs away from a research center with an atomic bomb. In a letter sent to the British Prime Minister, he threatens to blow up the center of London if the government doesn’t stop stockpiling nuclear warheads. Special agents from Scotland Yard, led by Superintendent Folland (André Morell, The Frightened Bride), try to stop him with help from the scientist’s assistant and future son-in-law. Beautifully shot by the great Gilbert Taylor (Star Wars, Repulsion) and directed, edited and produced by John Boulting (Brighton Rock) and Roy Boulting (Run for the Sun), who also co-wrote the screenplay with Frank Harvey (I’m All Right Jack).

Wow! I never thought this was going to get any kind of legit release on DVD let alone BD and purchased what I assume is a grey-market copy off of Amazon a few months ago. Looks like it's going in the trash.

KL Insider - I may have missed this info, but who is Hercules in the Haunted World licensed from? Is it a one off agreement?

Also, considering the three versions of the film being included, is this a 2-disc set on both the BD and DVD?

I asked and they said no. They did not give a reason.

It's from a company called Beta.

Both formats are 2-disc releases.

Italian cut, UK cut and U.S. cut.

I hope that HERCULES IN THE HAUNTED WORLD is put up for preorder soon.

[Reddington]

Great day to be a Brit around these parts.

Some fantastic announcements this afternoon.

Just saw a listing on Amazon for it. It has a 2006 date and is reported to be 1.78 anamorphic with 2.0 and 5.1. Unfortunately it's going for retarded money in comparison to the Carlton and ITV UK DVDs, which are dirt cheap but use the 1.33 transfer that's currently on streaming. I imagine Scorpion or SF will put it out on BD someday, hopefully with a remaster or cropped to the correct ratio at the very least.

I hope Kino eventually strikes a deal with Sony.

FYI for those interested, this is the same company credited by Shout! Factory on their MST3K DVD of Hercules and the Captive Women.

I wasn't sure if it was ok to ask about another release here...

Was Modern Girls ever repressed with the slight out of sync audio fixed?

I'd buy it again if it was, thank you.

Some of the slate for the rest of the year is mind bogglingly good in terms of the titles involved!!

[Kyle15]

If Kino ever makes a Sony deal, Panic Room is my hopeful release tbh (COUGH 4k disc please COUGH)

[Member-222782]

I'm hoping the long gestation period between the initial reveal and final release of Stick means that they've got something really special in store for fans and it wasn't just a marketing opportunity after the death of Burt Reynolds. This is currently my most-anticipated Kino release after Iceman.

I hope the Hercules title isn't a one off; those Italian sword and sandal films definitely need a champion to get them properly released on blu-ray. Of course, it might be a "Herculean" task to achieve it.
