NEVER STEAL ANYTHING SMALL with my all time favorite actor in his last musical. I saw it once decades ago on late night commercial TV when I was 14 and have been dying to see it again for years. And now in scope too just to sweeten the deal.

Even during a worldwide crisis, KINO continues to soldier on in style.

Great news! It was only released on VHS and isn’t available digitally. The VHS trailer:

Here's an alternative breakdown of the possible 50s Universal titles, to give a more accurate representation of what's to come:

[Show spoiler]

Given there are 2 50s WWII films in the deal, I believe they can only be Red Ball Express and Battle Hymn, so we appear to be getting both of those.

We also know there is more Stanwyck and some Sirk in the deal, so one or both of All I Desire and There's Always Tomorrow seem certain. I also suspect we'll get at least one of the two John Wayne titles (I wouldn't be surprised if The Conqueror missed out though).

This would be great. I'm hoping for both but probably give the edge to There's Always Tomorrow.

BarnDoor · 03-28-2020, 06:41 PM

Based on clues, European Blu-ray releases and popularity of films/cast, if I had to guess at what's coming from the 50s, I'd go for something like this (you can tell it's self-isolation season right?):

[Show spoiler]

I think this would just about tick the boxes in terms of what we know, though I'm probably very wrong.

I hope it doesn't. After SONG OF NORWAY and THE OSCAR, Kino is doing a great job of satisfying us so-bad-it's good movie fans. My Universal DVD of THE CONQUEROR isn't even anamorphic widescreen.

Jlouisbarrett · 03-28-2020, 07:58 PM

KL Insider, any updates on the ETA for The Queen?

. I would love to have that on my shelf, first in place of my Tony Curtis blu's. Right now I have this there....

Beckford · 03-29-2020, 04:26 AM

In regard to BarnDoor's always entertaining speculation on possible Kino releases, I'm glad to see that 1952's "Has Anybody Seen My Gal" is still a possibility. It's a good-natured period comedy with much to recommend it, in setting and mood something like Jeanne Crain's big hit "Margie". Not really a musical, but with a nice selection of 20's tunes bubbling through it. Piper Laurie and Rock Hudson are top-billed but the real star is Charles Coburn in one of his most ingratiating turns. As in the wonderful "The Devil and Miss Jones", Coburn, though billed third, is really the film's focal character. As a matter of fact, it largely follows the "Devil and Miss Jones" template, with Coburn as a prickly tycoon hiding his identity and renting a room from an average family. If you're a Charles Coburn fan and haven't seen it, a major treat awaits. 40's favorite Lynn Bari's also makes a lovely impression as Piper's mom. And an additional point of interest comes via an early blink-and-you'll miss-him appearance by a pre-fame James Dean, uncharacteristically cheery as a soda fountain counterman. In short, "Has Anybody Seen My Gal" would make an excellent addition to Kino's Blu-Ray catalogue. Maybe its best shot would be as part of a Rock Hudson set.

I was hoping to see Love Me Tonight among the June titles. There’s always July.

KL could do a Tony Curtis/Blake Edwards double bill:

Mr Cory (1957)
The Perfect Furlough (1958)

Both belong to Universal, both shot in Cinemascope.

I've never seen "the Choirboys," but I know that Joseph Waumbaugh (author of the book) wasn't happy with it. Still, I know it has a following. I think my dad loved it.

ilenewoodsfan99 · 03-29-2020, 03:46 PM

Not sure what it is, but staring at the poster too long makes me uncomfortable.

I don’t know if the original book is supposed to be a comedy but the movie is, maybe that’s why he didn’t like it? I think it’s a fun film with a great ensemble cast though it’s been a long time since I’ve seen it, the only thing that I can sort of remember is James Woods trying to get a prostitute to say “sucky f*cky five bucks” so he can arrest her, am I thinking of the right film?

DukeTogo84 · 03-29-2020, 04:08 PM

Never seen Choirboys, but it does have a pretty good cast. Might have to check it out.

Rayjg · 03-29-2020, 04:09 PM

More Robert Aldrich is always a good thing
