It was included in that very cheap DVD box set from a few years ago.

Forced to admit I'm an outsized fan of This is the Night, and will be picking it up

Another fun fact: It was in the Main Competition at Berlin in 1961 and Peter Ustinov was nominated for a Directors Guild of America Award in 1962. To be fair the DGA at 19 nominee's for 18 films (Robert Wise & Jerome Robbins were nominated and won for West Side Story) but still it's a shock to see something so bad get a nomination over much better films. The next year the DGA went down to 9 nominee's and then the year after that to 5.

I saw Romanoff and Juliet as part of a project I have been undertaken to see all the films in the Main Competition at Berlin, Cannes & Venice over the years. It's been a very mixed experience with R&J being one of the lowest points.

It looks like only the Dracula Legacy set has made it to UHD. Does anyone know if the others are planned for upgrade, too? You'd think Frankenstein would be a no-brainer.

Where oh where is SON OF FRANKENSTEIN, at least on blu-ray, as a single disc? I know there was one from Elephant Films in France, but it appears to be out of print. OK, enough whining, back to searching for the 8 hour GREED...
