OK, I'll keep beating my own special brand of dead horse, and hope that list contains some of the following:

SECRET OF THE CHATEAU (1934)
THE MAN WHO RECLAIMED HIS HEAD (1934)
THE GREAT IMPERSONATION (1935)
THE MISSING GUEST (1938)
THE HOUSE OF FEAR (1939)

THE MYSTERY OF MARIE ROGET (1942)
MURDER IN THE BLUE ROOM (1944)

Thanks, and I look forward to you not confirming or denying any of these!

Any thoughts on The First Nudie Musical? It was released on Blu in a limited edition a decade ago, which is now long OOP. It has wonderfully sunny, Mickey and Judy, "hey kids, let's put on a show" feel, if Judy and Mickey took their clothes off.

I'm pretty sure Bruce Kimmel himself owns the film outright and he put out the Blu-Ray himself, and it's still available on his website. Plus, on Amazon, I believe he is the seller "whiteshiek" so he's selling it there at the same price.

It is a fun movie.

While you're doing that, I'll add some tom tom beating for the release of this particular title. Beautiful Claire Dodd in a rare lead and the movie's pretty good too. Definitely on the must have list.

If I had my druthers it would come out on a 3 film 30's Murder and Mayhem set (Blu-ray, of course) with two other nifty Universal curios
DANGER ON THE AIR(1938) Nan Grey
and
MIDNIGHT INTRUDER(1938) Louis Hayward

That would be him and that was the same handle he used on this forum.

Beckford · 05-04-2022, 04:13 AM

The more I think about it, the more I feel a "Murder & Mayhem" series would be a great way for Kino to market crime films from the pre-noir era. And there are so many good 60-70 minute titles in the Paramount and Universal catalogues that would qualify. With such short running times it wouldn't be a problem to get two or even three on one disc.
Just a thought.

Please forgive me:

Might any of these be on that list? I imagine you could fill a few two-disc, four- or five- film collections with some these, like those RKO collections from a few years ago.

I smell lots of clearance issues with your list.

Coming to Blu-ray July 19th from Kino Classics, the Library of Congress, Fernando Martin Peña and Argentina Sono Film!

Native Son (1951)
Directed by Pierre Chenal
Starring Richard Wright, Jean Wallace, Gloria Madison, Nicholas Joy

One of the most controversial novels of its day, Richard Wright’s Native Son (first published in 1940) exposed the injustices of urban African-American life, witnessed through the eyes of Bigger Thomas, whose violent tendencies and moral confusion were the natural result of a lifetime of deprivation. In prison for murder and sentenced to death, Thomas reflects on the circumstances that led to his fate. Kino Lorber presents a new restoration of the 1951 film version of the novel, directed by Pierre Chenal and starring Richard Wright as Bigger Thomas. It is presented in association with the Library of Congress, Fernando Martin Peña and Argentina Sono Film. When it was initially released in the U.S., Native Son was heavily censored by regional state/municipal censor boards where it played. A complete 16mm print of the original Argentinian release and an incomplete 35mm duplicate negative of the uncensored cut were combined for the current restoration, the most complete version of Native Son ever shown in the United States.

Special features:
*32-Page booklet with an essay by Edgardo Krebs
*Re-release trailer
*Optional English SDH subtitles

It barely qualifies as even being "snarky."

Oh christ, what's the point in resurrecting an issue from days ago that was already resolved back then? It's over. Let the dead rest.

jesus...

I know he was banned 8 years ago but two people were just referring to him on this page and the last one.

From his posts on other sites he could be, shall we say, unnecessarily combative at times. While I don't know the reason, a similar hair trigger approach to posting here may account for it.

My two favorite French actors, followed by Lino Ventura, Jean Gabin, Gerard Depardieu, Jean Reno, Jean-Louis Trintignant, Vincent Cassel, Michel Piccoli and Michel Bouquet. But if I had to pick one, I would pick Belmondo over Delon.

All great actors overall, and glad you guys are fans over there, which always gives me more hope for more releases with these guys. I do wish you guys had gone after more Belmondo and Delon films while you were working with Studio Canal. Maybe in the future.

It's probably about on the high end of what Winner was able to produce, but it definitely needed a director capable of more.

1970s Michael Winner was great, Lawman, Chato's Land, The Mechanic, Scorpio, The Stone Killer, Death Wish, The Sentinel... And even the lesser ones like The Games, The Nightcomers, The Big Sleep and Firepower were all pretty good.

His one hiccup, Won Ton Ton: The Dog Who Saved Hollywood, was a dog.

His 80s highlights were Death Wish II, Death Wish 3 and Appointment with Death, he also directed some really good films in the 60s.

What Zygmunt22 said. Or to anyone else.

Some of these are not cleared, the others we're most likely not interested in.
