Since you’ve listed other Gene titles available on DVD, QUACKSER FORTUNE HAS A COUSIN IN THE BRONX is out on DVD through VCI. Ancient non-anamorphic transfer, desperately needs a Blu-ray upgrade!

[WaverBoy]

Also, when the hell is THE WORLD’S GREATEST LOVER gonna get a Blu-ray release? It’s one of his best films. Such a criminally underrated comedy.

By the by, thanks for making this thread! I love Gene!

Okay, I changed it to ''VCI DVD NOT Listed On Blu-ray(dot)com''.

"Thursday's Game" is a TV movie he made co-starring Bob Newhart. It's never been officially released, but bootlegs are easy to find and there's a copy on Youtube. It's not quite as good as you'd hope with the two of them, but it has some really funny scenes that are vintage examples of both of their styles. Seems like a good fit for Kino, hopefully they'll get it sooner or later.

I would love to have this on Blu-ray (or DVD)! I used to see this a lot on Fritz The Nite Owl's show.

A video of The Scarecrow (1973) is on it's Wikipedia page:

Also Thursday's Game (1974) & The Lady In Question (1999) are both on YouTube!

Hanky Panky actually has been released on Bluray in Australia on a region-free disc coupled with Stir Crazy.

Still hoping for The World’s Greatest Lover!

The "Scarecrow" DVD is "Kultur D2763" and was released as part of the "Broadway Theater Archive" series (as was the listed "Death of a Salesman" DVD).

I'm not using an image hoster right now but there are some photos at this Amazon listing.

If the Disney/Fox dam ever gets broken there is a 4K DCP of it available so its just there waiting.

Too bad it's $59.99 and they only have one...

How is Quakser Fortune?

Quackser Fortune is a good movie but the VCI disc is to be desired. It's very barebones with meh audio but it is in the proper aspect ratio. It's certainly better than the old DVD (which was abysmal), but that's not exactly a high bar.

Worth it if you can grab it on a sale for around ~$10 (like a Target BOGO sale), but not much else...and that comes from a huge GW fan.

Thank you. It's $26 CDN here which comes to around $19 USD.

Don't forget Remembering Gene Wilder

[CinemaScope]

Start The Revolution Without Me (1970) must be the oldest DVD I own, it was the first one I imported from the US (in the Warner cardboard clipper case). Gene Wilder goes wildly over the top in this, but is still as funny as he's ever been, & interestingly, Donald Sutherland (who plays his twin brother!) is just as funny (he should have done a lot more comedies). The disc still works fine, I watched it only the other month. I suppose we have to wait & hope that it gets included in a Warner Archive batch...one day.

I have both, and it's not going to win any awards, but it certainly does the job.
