The Razor's Edge (1946) - 1/13

Hooray! 2015's shaping up to be a good year

[FrauBlucher]

The two I would love to see Fox release are The Ox Bow Incident and Call Northside 777.

[knives]

Given reputation and star I imagine we'll see the Wellman sooner than later.

[domino harvey]

I have no idea why Peyton Place hasn't been announced yet either

[FrauBlucher]

The Razors Edge...Bluray.com review

[FrauBlucher]

The Ultimate Western Collection Not sure how legit.

[Drucker]

Gotta include Ox-Bow Incident, right?

[FrauBlucher]

Oh, how I hope so. All extremities crossed.

[chatterjees]

Gotta include Ox-Bow Incident, right?

Wrong! You should thank me for my answer. We have waited so long for this title. Please don't want this to get shoved somewhere in that set. Ox-Bow Incident should come from Fox, Criterion or TT as a solo release. Let's just wait.
I am guessing that this set is going to be a collection of films Fox has already issued. They have done few box sets like that recently (The John Wayne or the D-Day collection). If this set brings us some westerns not yet released, I am all game for it.

[FrauBlucher]

I am less inclined to think Twilight Time will release Ox Bow. But I think MoC is a player for this title. They are huge William Wellman fans and have a good relationship with Fox. Just a hunch.

Early in TT's existence (about 5 years ago) they said Ox Bow was high on their list. When asked now, they say "we do not have the title at this time" and when I pressed by reminding of "high on their list," of course they (Redman) turned snippy.

I'm thinking Fox will release themselves on this side of pond.

[Askew]

I'm really hoping this western collection includes The Ox Bow Incident, The Gunfighter and/or Rawhide.

[matrixschmatrix]

Given that it's a 20 disc set for $70, it's hard to imagine that it wouldn't be a repackaging of already-available titles

[domino harvey]

Only that crowd would ask about some of those titles

[The Narrator Returns]

Oh fuck yeah, Criterion's gonna release The Fly II!

[Ribs]

I am very greatly amused by the idea of somebody asking for Wilson on Blu-ray, and the fact the response was an "eventually" rather than a hard "no".

A Fox rep took inquiries from the HTF crowd on what they would like to see get a release. He came back with this list....

The Flight of the Phoenix ('65)-will be released by one of our partners (BD release date TBA)

The partner doesn't seem to be Twilight Time per these recent posts on Facebook.

"Cornelius Vanderbilt III Looking forward to Emperor! Any chance you could release Aldrich's The Flight of the Phoenix as well?
June 9 at 8:54am

Twilight Time DVD Label We would love to, but believe there are other plans for the title...

Currently Fox licenses to three labels: Criterion, Twilight Time, Anchor Bay/Starz.

Shout Factory, Kino, and Olive are always trying to secure more titles for release, particularly SF for their Scream Factory label. So it's possible one/some of these will add Fox, especially since all of those labels currently have deals with MGM, whom Fox is closely tied to.

[domino harvey]

I wish they'd license out the Brasher Doubloon, since Eddie Muller already recorded a commentary track for it and they ditched it when they killed the Noir line and dumped the movie on their MOD line

[domino harvey]

Also the TT Facebook strongly suggests Flight of the Phoenix is with Criterion

[Jameson281]

Currently Fox licenses to three labels: Criterion, Twilight Time, Anchor Bay/Starz.

Fox has licensed to Shout Factory; see, for example, the TALES FROM THE CRYPT/VAULT OF HORROR double bill on Scream Factory, PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE, DAMNATION ALLEY, etc.

[Feego]

Well I'm excited to see Beyond the Valley of the Dolls being confirmed for an eventual Blu release, but I wonder by which company. We all know Criterion was going to handle the DVD release before Fox released it themselves, but the rep says the Blu release will be tied to a 50th Anniversary edition of Valley of the Dolls -- something I have a hard time seeing Criterion release.

Also, am I reading correctly that someone asked about the Pink Panther film series and the rep gave a response about the TV series?

[ianungstad]

Valley of the Dolls is considered a cult/camp classic just like Beyond the Valley of the Dolls. The two films couldn't be more different but they both have a significant following.

Is Don't Bother to Knock Criterion-y? It's one of the only Monroe pics I haven't seen. I surprised Fox licensed out ANY of their Marilyn Monroe pics.

[domino harvey]

It's a pretty good little noir but I can't see it coming from Criterion
