A third party will inevitably put it up on Amazon, at an even higher price.

Only official distributors are TT and Screen Archives.

Such a brutal cover, having trouble pulling the trigger at full retail.

Yup, looking at the TT cover you'd think it was some tragic drama, not a gossamer light comedy caper film (& very enjoyable too), is there a reason that they couldn't use the original poster art, it's very stylish & sixties.

Doesn't SAE sell through Amazon for roughly the same price as the disc plus shipping on their site?

Al_The_Strange · 04-06-2017, 03:38 PM

Does anybody think this will sell out fast at all?

I would pull the trigger if I wasn't financially tight right now. Been grabbing all the Audrey Hepburn flicks I can, and this looks like one I'd love.

Probably that depends on the title, but I grabbed Salvador and Heaven & Earth without any problems after a few years of looking at them.

All ~30 TT titles I have basically the same spine "art" with different letters and the exact same font.

While the spine is what I see most of the time, but I certainly see the actual art sometimes, otherwise I'd put the things in thin CD cases with just a name on the spine.

SAE doesn't seem to post all titles to Amazon, or at least from what I recall.

As long as the video quality is great I don't give a hoot about the cover art.

vjo81 · 04-08-2017, 05:56 PM

I saw this movie many years ago and loved it. Hepburn and O'Toole were at their most charming and clearly two of the most beautiful people on the face of the planet at that time. Then there was Hugh Griffith, one of England's finest actors who was hilarious as "papa". This is one of those classic light breezy Rom-coms that you can just sit back and enjoy just for the sake of it.

Just got my pre order in. To risky to wait for Amazon to get and avoid the shipping fee. Its Audrey on Blu ray and I cant take a chance of missing it.

Audrey is TOP priority.

Always.

Peter O'Toole is nearly as pretty as Audrey Hepburn in this. He was very good looking in the sixties, before the booze started to show.

PowellPressburger · 04-22-2017, 10:11 PM

I was always a big fan of this film, true it isn't the greatest Hepburn but IMO it is the last wonderfully fun and carefree Hepburn film made. I'm a sucker for a good heist and throw in the mix Audrey and a fun score from John (Johnny) Williams.

I was not expecting much from the transfer of the movie. Last time I watched it was then Fox released it on DVD. The transfer here is superb. There are a few shots here and there that aren't the best but always looked less than optimal. Such as when They do that zoom shot outside of the house while Audrey is in frame within the circular window. That shot never looked good and never will.

Great transfer, detail and color. I don't notice any teal push on my plasma. Whites are white and not off tinted that I can see. Nice audio, I watched it in Dolby with the 2.0 stereo mix. 1.0 mono mix is also an option.

I just wish Nick Redman and Julie Kirgo could have recorded a commentary for this title. (May not have been an option with licensing) but I tweeted to Julie how much I wish I could hear one.

Thrilled with this blu.

rollinwith26s · 04-22-2017, 10:18 PM

Thanks for the notes on the transfer. I haven't found a review for it anywhere yet.

cybergrimes · 05-01-2017, 02:32 PM

Ordered for my wife's birthday-- she loves Audrey and Peter, not sure if she has seen this before but I have a feeling it will be enjoyed.
