I would love to see National Velvet next year. If we got that in 2021, everything else would be a bonus for me.

While they recently said on the podcast no Greer Garson films were currently being worked on they did state that the next one would likely be Random Harvest. So, depending on how lengthy of a restoration/remaster it'd be, we could very well get it later in 2021. Fingers crossed!

It just makes me so sad what happened to Vickers.

A new podcast is in and they discuss all November titles by the way.

Only three questions were answered at the end

Samuel Goldwyn distribution deal - Porgy and Bess' status: The licensing agreement with Warner is worded that if it ever becomes available for release it would come through Warner but the Goldwyn trust and the Gershwin estates have to settle their rights issues first; George thinks lot of restauration work has to be done as well before it could be released on home video

There was one more question regarding bumpers/promo pieces for animated series like Scooby-Doo but the answer was so long, you have to check the podcast if you are interested.

Hong Kong (Golden Harvest titles) films coming to Blu-ray like Mr. Nice Guy - The WAC added one very important Hong Kong "classic" to the 2021 schedule in their last production meeting that would please fans of Mr. Nice Guy. They are very proud of the Golden Harvest library they own and would love to bring more to Blu-ray when financially feasible in the years to come. The movie is probably not Pedicab Driver because George said it won't be on BD tomorrow, so you should get the DVD if you want to see the movie but may be in the future.

I'm not too good at making Wishlists because I'm endlessly editing it, remembering this movie, forgetting that one, etc. So let me sum up by saying this much:

THE STRAWBERRY BLONDE (1941/Raoul Walsh) has been #1 on my Wishlist since the Archive started producing Blus. After that, this:

Every film released by Warner Brothers from the 30's and 40's.

That's not too much of an unreasonable expectation, is it?

[CinemaScope]

I'll keep a 2021 wishlist to a manageable 15:

Bataan (1943)
Scaramouche (1952)
Ivanhoe (1952)
The Big Sky (1952)
Helen Of Troy (1956)
Land Of The Pharaohs (1956)
The Teahouse of the August Moon (1956)
Up Periscope (1959)
The Hill (1965)
She (1965)
Start The Revolution Without Me (1970)
There Was A Crooked Man...(1970)
The Last Of Sheila (1973)
Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid (1973)
Pennies from Heaven (1981)

Of course there's tons more film I'd love to buy.

Thanks for the catch. Sometimes I forgot to take films of my list when they are released.

[larrys]

As a small collector, I have only about 40 titles on my WAC wishlist that I really want to buy. Seven of those are WHV dvds I collected before I bought my first blu ray player in 2008, so those dvds are ancient. Obviously, I would love to upgrade all of them. They are all titles that have been listed here many times before:

Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore
The Formula
The Last of Sheila
Petulia
Prince of the City
Splendor in the Grass
Straight Time
