TCM Vault Collection

[Dirk]

Good news for those interested in getting the Columbia Noir III set: my copy arrived today and not only does it come with a sturdier slipcover than the Bogart set, but it doesn't come in that awful packaging that needed instructions.

The Jean Arthur Drama Collection is up for preorder at TCM and Movies Unlimited. Release date: May 7.

The R2 of Shanghai is definitely cut.

[domino harvey]

Has anyone actually gotten their Noir set yet?

[JPJ]

Noir set arrived Feb.7th from Movies Unlimited,I'm in Finland.There's a tiny mistake in the backcover and TCM withdrew the whole pressing?

Good news for those interested in getting the Columbia Noir III set: my copy arrived today and not only does it come with a sturdier slipcover than the Bogart set, but it doesn't come in that awful packaging that needed instructions.

Bad news: this is no longer correct, as I received my copy of the "corrected" packaging today and it is indeed in the shitty Back to the Future packaging

[Dirk]

I ordered my copy from TCM, if that matters.

[domino harvey]

Me too, and it was a preorder to boot!

The Digital Fix reviews Noir Classics III.

Coming in June:

[knives]

Could they choose a worse image/ colouring scheme?

[HerrSchreck]

..or come up with something more original...

[domino harvey]

What, no Ghost?

[HerrSchreck]

Before the page fully loaded I thought for a split second that that was Trog . . . hada be the hair.

[Dirk]

I'm definitely interested in the Esther Williams movie, though I can't say I'm too familiar with the others.

[matrixschmatrix]

Is there a comparison between the r2 Dishonored and Shanghai Express and the TCM release anywhere?

[knives]

I believe the TCM release is slightly better with Shanghai Express being uncut.

[domino harvey]

For those curious, I got the Joel McCrea set in the mail today and it too has the stupid fucking no-hub packaging

[Dirk]

July's release: Columbia Pre-Codes.

[Murdoch]

Is there a best time to pre-order, or is it generally true that the pressed releases won't sell out before the release date?

[Gregory]

Ten Cents a Dance is a distinguished early Stanwyck, if memory serves. I'd despaired of ever getting it on a pressed disc. Can't remember if I've seen any of the others.

[Frankinho007]

According to New York Post's Lou Lumenick the TCM/Sony sets are offered as pressed discs only:

What I've learned exclusively are some of the other releases that will follow in this initiative, which is being issued exclusively on press discs, just like the sets TCM issued in partnership with Universal Studios Home Entertainment.

Isn't that what they said about the Douglas Sirk set as well?

[knives]

That's Universal, not Sony though.

[zedz]

Weren't the first printing of the Sirks pressed, then they reverted to burnt? It could well be the same situation here.
