KL-- will the new remasters of BREAKHEART PASS and MISTER MAJESTYK have slip covers like the recent Eastwood titles?

[Cinema84]

Just received an unexpected delivery from Kino - a NIXON replacement disc. I guess they're sending these out automatically if you ordered from their site. Nice and easy - the way it should be

Who said we passed on these? We acquired the two Bing Crosby Productions that were available to us, these others were not.

Not sure what Shout was able to do to get their foot in the door, but hopefully you guys get a WB license at some point. There are hundreds of titles that need the HD treatment on disc.

We've been around since 1977 and we're considered a top notch label by everyone including Warner Brothers.

Yes, that's the plan.

Coming August 17th!

The Emperor Waltz (1948)
• NEW Audio Commentary by Film Historian Joseph McBride, author of Billy Wilder: Dancing on the Edge
• Billy Wilder and Volker Schlöndorff Discuss The Emperor Waltz
• Trailers

From Billy Wilder, the brilliant director of Five Graves to Cairo, The Lost Weekend, Sunset Boulevard, Some Like It Hot and Witness for the Prosecution, comes this delightful musical comedy starring screen greats Bing Crosby (Road to Morocco, Going My Way) and Joan Fontaine (Kiss the Blood off My Hands, Suspicion). American gramophone salesman Virgil Smith (Crosby) wants to sell his wares in pre-WWI Austria. To get the ball rolling, he hits on the idea of going straight to the top and selling one to Emperor Franz Joseph (Richard Haydn, No Time for Love, The Sound of Music). First off, the palace guards think he’s carrying a bomb and he’s arrested. He subsequently meets Countess Johanna von Stolzenberg-Stolzenberg (Fontaine) and, after the usual misunderstandings, falls in love with her. She falls in love with his dog, Buttons. The relation is fraught with obstacles and the emperor thinks royal blood marrying a commoner is bad darts altogether—what is to become of Smith and his countess? Co-written by Wilder and his frequent collaborator Charles Brackett (A Foreign Affair, Arise, My Love), this charming farce garnered Oscar nominations for its wonderful score by Victor Young (The Paleface) and elegant costumes by Edith Head (Sabrina) and Gile Steele (The Heiress).

That's a purchase. More Billy Wilder!

Is the 1940s Universal a Paramount title or one of their own?

Top notch. Vinegar Syndrome would be "top shelf".

I hope the Universal one is another horror title. You're on a roll with The Spider Woman Strikes Back and Secrets of the Blue Room. Also The Mad Doctor and The Mystery of Edwin Drood. There's still more.
