I'd say you have to KEEP Hangover, House by the River, Spiral, Lodger and Brighton. Lose one of the other 3.

Seems like 65% of the time, whenever a movie's soundtrack score gets a first-time release on CD, it coincides with the film itself getting a Blu release, especially when Kino's involved. Jerry Goldsmith's The Don Is Dead score hit CD a few months ago, and now here's the movie.

Coming March 23rd!

Doc (1971)
• Brand New 2K Master
• NEW Audio Commentary by Filmmaker Alex Cox
• Theatrical Trailer
• Reversible Art
• Dual-Layered BD50 Disc
• Optional English Subtitles

Color 96 Minutes 1.85:1 Rated R
When two-fisted gunslinger Doc Holliday (Stacy Keach, The Long Riders) rides into Tombstone, he’s ready and willing to help District Marshal Wyatt Earp (Harris Yulin, Narrow Margin) clean up the unruly town, just as they did in Dodge. But to Doc’s surprise, Earp has changed from a steely-eyed believer in law-and-order to a greedy opportunist who’ll do anything to be elected Tombstone’s sheriff. To ensure his victory, the unscrupulous Earp enlists Doc’s help in double-crossing the most vicious band of outlaws in the territory, the notorious Clanton Gang. It’s a dangerous scheme that leads to the infamous showdown at the O.K. Corral, where a bloody slaughter transforms villains into heroes... and heroes into American legends. Written by legendary columnist Pete Hamill (Badge 373), directed by the great Frank Perry (The Swimmer) and co-starring screen legend Faye Dunaway (The Thomas Crown Affair) as Katie Elder.

Already got my shipment notification from the Noirvember sale-- less than 24hrs! Thanks, Kino!

[Acer2010]

KL Insider,

Is there any update on Kino's upcoming Blu-ray of THE PRODUCERS?

[captveg]

More OOP based on no longer appearing on the website:

Witness to Murder (1954) (DVD still available)

Also, it looks like KL may have had some retailers return copies of Man of the West (1958) because the BD is back in stock after being unavailable for some weeks now.

[DukeTogo84]

Man, Kino is killing it with their upcoming titles.

[Shanghai Express]

The Lost Weekend has been delivered! It's been a long time coming...

I would get those 2 for sure. The Spiral Staircase is one of those "perfect" films IMO and if you are a Bob Hope fan, you can't go wrong with My Favorite Brunette...

Witness to Murder is in the Film Noir 1 box set if anyone missed the single disc release.

We're out of stock on Scarlet Street.

Note: we have limited inventory on some of the titles and due to high volume expectations, these titles will become unavailable and will be removed from the sale when we’re out of stock.

I'm sick of sites that turn the retail experience for the customer into a heated track meet.

Here's some conjecture formed as a question: Would KINO policy of "first come first served" sales come about because of all those brats on these boards who perpetually crybaby about delayed shipments and feeling entitled to instant gratification?

We had too many people complaining about not getting their orders the last time around, so we felt this was necessary.

This sale lasts only a week, so the earlier you purchase the better.

We hope to have this issue resolved before the December sale.

Does the fact this sale has such a short window (ends Nov. 24) mean that Kino plans a separate Black Friday sale?

KL will most likely have flash Black Friday/Cyber Monday promotions, but the next big sale we're working on is the early December Sale.
