Fair enough, but at the end of the day, I assume you still want the titles you acquire to sell well.

You don't recognize a reference to the case you solved? The Knives Out case, to be specific. I know you're a busy man, Mr. Blanc, but it's your most famous case to date!

A couple of general points:

- The remaining 60s title is new to disc.

- There will be 5 more film noir sets (so 15 titles - 2 40s, 13 50s). In terms of other titles, this leaves 1 40s (1942) and 2 50s (1953 and 1957).

One of the 40s titles is a standalone release, two from the 50s and one from the 60s. All the others are part of our film noir sets.

One of the noirs is a 4K restoration by Universal, one is from a 2017 4K scan, the others will all be brand new 2K masters by KL.

I think it only works with a capital D.

Test:

I didn't type it, though, I just clicked it. Must have automatically switched from uppercase to lowercase. Like "Knives Out" in that post of yours I quoted changed to "knives out". That's really weird. That's happened to me a few times on this forum. Uppercase letters automatically changing to lowercase for no apparent reason.

I've run into that glitch too. I'm not sure what causes it.

Is the 4K restored noir part of a set or a standalone?

[DukeTogo84]

I know it's already been ruled out, but would really love to see Beau Geste come out from Kino. That's the 1966 Universal film I really want.

If we're not careful, one of these days KLI is going to let Bill Olsen post for him.

It's part of one of the sets, originally volume 15, but now it maybe volume 11 or 12. The 2017 4K title is also part of the same set, so it makes sense to move it up to an earlier volume. Only one film to remaster.

Legal issues and unless Universal decides to clear it, I don't see it every coming out. I think they have an HD master for it.

Yeah, it's a shame that so many films have clearance issues. This is a good one, so hoping whatever it preventing it from release is eventually taken care of.
