I think Trop belle pour toi is Studio Canal in the UK (not sure if MGM still has the rights in the states), so I assume that will be one of the missing spines and then maybe Notre histoire, which I always expected Kino to be interested in so maybe they weren’t because Indicator went after it. Menage would be an excellent release too, not sure if that one’s SC

For the benefit of my compatriots, Menage is what we (and indeed the French) know as Tenue de Soirée, although that literally translates as "Evening Dress".

If they are going to do Trop Belle Pour Toi!, it may be worth looking into trying to get the Antoine de Caunes introduction from its 30/6/98 Channel 4 screening in their "Creme de la Creme" season of French films.

I wonder if Universal being much more prolonged with approvals has put to a delay for individual releases for both this and the second Universal Noir set.

I can confirm that they're delayed rather than cancelled.
