I Confess....bluray.com. As much as I've harped on the thin output by Warner Archive, although this year they've gotten off to a terrific start, their transfers are first rate.

Frank Tashlin's Susan Slept Here April 19th. Very happy about this one.

They just tweeted out a GIF for Suspicion saying it'll be out real soon, which was expected after the Japanese release

[John Doe]

Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? coming on April 12th.

[domino harvey]

I guess this means we're not getting a retail "Hump the Hostess Edition"

[FrauBlucher]

Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf? coming on April 12th.

YES!!! About time!

[guidedbyvoices]

Suspicion AND Viriginia Woolf?! I was hoping with no reason they might be surprise Criterions, but just happy they're both coming out on blu ray

Father of the Bride (1950)

[rockysds]

Dark Passage.

Edit: Fixed link.

[domino harvey]

I think you C+Ped the wrong link but great news all the same!

[matrixschmatrix]

I would never have guessed that would get a blu before To Have and Have Not, but I'll take it!

[Ashirg]

I wonder if To Have and Have Not was licensed to Criterion with The Breaking Point. Would make another great Ernest Hemingway double feature (or triple feature if they also add Don Siegel's The Gun Runners from MGM or even Wetbacks from Ed Wood).

Just viewed The Big Sleep, looks wonderful.

FWIW, the preview cut included on this set appears to be an up-res version of the same SD transfer (all taken from the print discovered in WB's vaults - none of it involves the transfer for the theatrical release, much less uses any "seamless branching"). I was initially disappointed by this, but the theatrical version is better, even if it makes a ridiculously plot heavy story a bit harder to untangle. Watching the individual changes in the supplements don't do justice to their impact, you have to watch the entire film - it really changes the dynamic and makes Bogie and Bacall's cooperation (and subsequent falling in love) even more believable.

One thing that I keep forgetting - the number of attractive female characters ready and willing for Bogie to pick them up. The banter is quite entertaining, but it's still very amusing to have this story filled out as a fantasy playground. (And I didn't realize the bookstore clerk across the street was a very young Dorothy Malone! 20, maybe 19 years old when she filmed that part. Couldn't even recognize her with the baby fat and dark hair.)

Bluray.com...Suspicion. It's too bad the MGM Hitchcocks don't look this good.

[Werewolf by Night]

Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? coming on April 12th.

May 3 now, according to Amazon.

[domino harvey]

Just popped in the Blu-Ray for Susan Slept Here and W O W, gorgeous colors and transfer for what is Tashlin's laugh out loud funniest film. So glad Warner Archives' bizarro dart board release schedule paid off with this utterly unexpected delight. Also, there's subs for those who need them, FYI

[FrauBlucher]

Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? review bluray.com. Stunning!
