I've seen both of these. The Guilty is just okay, and High Tide isn't all that good but I've seen worse. Can't really recommend at Flicker Alley prices

Are the two stills from different movies? Because Don Castle seems to be wearing the exact same clothes in both

Different coat, but it did make me do a double-take as well!

I love The Guilty! Not a big fan of High Tide though.

I finally picked up the Laurel OR Hardy collection, and was wondering if there is any word of the silent Laurel And Hardy films being released. I’m not sure if this is something Flicker Alley would release through Lobster films, or if this is something Kit Parker would handle like that blu-ray collection that was released a couple years ago. It seems that most of them are available on YouTube, though the aspect ratios are a mess.

FA are killing it with those Argentinian noirs and the reviews I've been able to find all suggest the film doesn't suffer in comparison with Lang's original (which I'm not a huge fan of anyway).

Hopefully this will lead to more Stroheim releases like The Wedding March or maybe Greed. Thank you for reading.

I'm delighted that the restoration is getting released, but I'll wait for that annual Flicker Alley sale. Just in case Masters of Cinema picks up the film (as they had done with the Paul Leni releases a couple of years ago).

I'll at least hang on to the old DVD for its audio commentary.

Foolish Wives has been delayed a couple of weeks to incorporate new extras. As far as I can tell, the listed supplements on their site are the same as what they were before, so I assume these new extras are TBA.

Yeah, and also Patrick Montgomery's 1973 feature-length documentary "The Man You Loved to Hate" which is another great extra missing from the Flicker Alley

Laurel & Hardy: Year One

Includes 15 silent shorts from 1921-1927.

Between this and the Kit Parker release from 2020, does this cover all their shorts on BD?

Frustratingly, no it does not. If 1927 is "year one", then it would be year two and three where the 'magic' really began, and none of their major films from that period are represented on Blu-ray.

Gotcha. Presumably they have plans to have follow up releases.

Hopefully, someone does. Big Business, Liberty and The Two Tars are three of the finest comedy shorts ever made; silent or otherwise, and their lack of inclusion in what is now three big Blu-ray sets dedicated to Laurel and Hardy (the other being Flicker's Laurel or Hardy box) is an unintentional tease to the extent that each of these wonderful sets is nonetheless a letdown.

I'm hoping that the BATTLE OF THE CENTURY in this set is the finally restored version. And considering the previous release of LAUREL OR HARDY, this may just be the beginning of a series of releases of their complete silent works, which yeah is seriously overgoddamndue.

I have seen no video sample of the Foolish Wives release. Anyone else seen anything?
