That would be awesome as well. But, isn't that one with MGM?

I want to say public domain but I'm not positive.

I was just thinking how a remastered 'The Stranger' would be a good companion piece to Welles 'The Trial' when that announcement came out a couple weeks ago. Little did I know it would be so soon. Very happy to hear this!

Thanks for the review!

I'm curious about one point made about the old release. Surely the fact there was no lossless audio track is besides the point, give the poor quality of the source audio material. Not that I'm suggesting Kino or any other company revert to lossy audio, but I would imagine if the situation were reversed, the Kino would STILL sound better (in lossy) compared to Film Chest's inferior material presented in lossless. The bitrate can't turn garbage into gold.

It came in a slipbox.

The Kino Blu-rays of The Stranger and The Hitch-Hiker are shipping to me right now. I expect that I'll get them sometime next week. November is going to be a sweet month of film noir flicks.

The Hitch Hiker is a fantastic film. Ida Lupino was a really good director.

Woman In The Window is still under copyright, and held by MGM. Perhaps it could be a pickup for Twilight Time, considering the success they had with The Big Heat.

Hang on, I need to go back and edit all the Criterion wishlists I've posted over the years...

That Studio Canal The Third Man cover makes a lot more sense now.

Well, maybe not a lot more...
