This was the case with several other recent Blus of older catalog titles like 'South Pacific', 'Quo Vadis', 'The Robe', 'An American in Paris', and 'Gigi', none of which I've seen in a BB store.

Russell, the same is true here in my closest store (Best Buy), and then in some Minneapolis stores. You don't see South Pacific or The Robe or Quo Vadis at Target or Walmart either.....and they wonder why classic titles aren't selling on Blu-ray!!!!!!! The amount of classic movies available on Blu-ray is so small, and then they aren't stocked (OR advertised), and then the studios (and people in some of the insider threads) tell us they aren't selling well. Gee I wonder why. I don't even see the Blu-ray listed of Anne Frank on Walmart's website, where I have a few gift cards to use up.

Slightly off-topic, but has anyone else heard Neutral Milk Hotel's "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea"?
It's a great album inspired by the Diary of Anne Frank. In case you've never heard of it, here's an article that discusses the album, the band, etc. Quite interesting, I think. The album's not for everyone, but those that do connect with it, it's held in very high esteem.

Home Theater Forum review is up. Seems pretty good, although they were less than impressed with some of the qualities of the transfer.

I've never heard of this film until Amazon posted it for 12.99 today. After doing some reading from other members and a few reviews out there I pulled the trigger. Seems like a very interesting film.
