I wish Warner would let the WAC division re-do this one:

Yeah, while not the worst thing you'll ever see, it does need a remaster. Maybe they will do a 4K release at some point.

I keep hoping Paramount Presents will do The Longest Yard.

Twilight62 · 01-11-2021, 08:06 PM

I keep hoping Flight Of The Phoenix will get a U.S. release.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Criterion have held onto the rights because a label like Kino or Twilight Time would of released it years ago. The Fox German Blu is region free, cheap, and features a newer master compared to the Masters of Cinema release.

If you're right, I hope Criterion gives it a release soon enough. It's always been odd that this doesn't have a US release as it's a pretty popular 60's title.

Hopefully we’ll get a new remastered release of Vera Cruz soon.

tomahawk · 01-12-2021, 03:33 AM

Great thread! Aldrich is one of my very favorite directors. The big two for me which haven't received blu-ray releases yet are Hustle and his brilliant final film ...All the Marbles.

I understand why it wouldn't be listed in this thread, but it's worth pointing out that The Garment Jungle has received recent blu-ray releases from Indicator and Imprint, of which a fired and uncredited Aldrich directed approximately two-thirds of.

An Arrow or Kino release would be great but if the MGM Blu is a reflection of the elements it probably needs a lot of work.

Would like to see Aldrich's Hustle on Blu-ray. Glad to see it mentioned in this thread. Seems to have become undeservedly almost obscure.

Watched Kiss Me Deadly again last night. Nice Blu-ray from Criterion. The brutality of this film still has the power to shock. Perhaps my favourite film noir.

Aldrich deals in brutality like few other directors.

Fred Sliman · 02-07-2021, 04:20 PM

Thanks for this thread; Aldrich is a completist collection for me and I’m also glad to see some Hustle love here.

I've become an Aldrich completionist myself. Once WAC are done with their current musical-obsession I hope we can see "The Frisco Kid" in the near future.

Remastered "Vera Cruz" coming from Kino.

Hopefully it truly is "remastered". Either way, I missed out on the original release so this will be a day one for me.

Great news about Vera Cruz, I almost pulled the trigger on the OOP BD.

I did, and regretting it right now. Oh well. Hope the new release looks a lot better. This will be an easy double dip if it's improved.

I'm going to keep my expectations in check. The elements probably aren't in the best condition if the MGM Blu is an indicator but at the very least I'm hoping for a better color grading (maybe a bit more like the DVD grading instead of the "drained" look of the MGM Blu).

Kino's "The Last Sunset" and remastered "Vera Cruz" planned for October 26th:
