Nice to see The Bride Wore Black back in the marketplace.

Does anyone know what's still precluding The Green Room from a home video release? MGM should still own it, but are there any rights hassles surrounding it? I saw Anne and Muriel/Two English Girls and thought it was remarkable, and now I'm much keener to see Truffaut's "darker" movies.

Criterion did release TWO ENGLISH GIRLS on to laserdisc years ago so i do hope that they can release a special dvd with extras on it. It's one of my favorite Truffaut films and since Criterion did release THE SOFT SKIN on laserdisc so why not a dvd release on that one too?

Of course, MK2 in France has already released stellar English-friendly DVDs of both films with excellent extras, all subtitled.

Here in the states we only have Fox Lorber releases that were made 7 years ago with trailers for his other movies. Another good reason to have an all code NTSC/PAL dvd player too see the dvd releases from other countries!.....

Wow! Since MGM makes one single R2 disc for all European countries, it's just a waiting game until that makes it over to the UK. Thanks!

I suspect all the MK2 Truffauts will appear from Criterion at some point (boxset for his final three?) - Wellspring has lost them and Janus now has them back in the fold.
