I vote the former, but the edit button is always there if the juju comes right out and tells us otherwise.

A Jean Arthur film: Easy Living or The More the Merrier (but possibly, hopefully, twinned)
Upgrade of Pickup on South Street

So we know Easy Living is the decoy guess since KL already put it out

I'm just cribbing from an interview I saw with Brian Cox, who picked those two as his favorites from the spring retrospective on the Channel. I do think, however, that if someone inside Criterion likes Jean Arthur enough to have mounted that tribute, that we're likely to see a second film of hers before long.

Which WB titles do we generally know/sense will come to Criterion at some point, barring a change in the studio's licensing policies?
The Lusty Men, Journey Into Fear, Performance, Lone Star, O Lucky Man!, Prince of the City, maybe a handful of additional New Line titles
(more John Waters, Menace II Society, etc.)...

The More the Merrier would be a more than worthy Criterion release. Bring on a Charles Coburn scholar!

I would make a case for him being the Buster Keaton of the talkies, with his deadpan shtick working in conjunction with his physical placement in his social environment. Can I have the job, Criterion?

Only way I see Platform coming in March is if the restoration premieres at Berlin—possible, but I think it more likely goes to Cannes or Venice. Also I'm betting Criterion will do a box with all four of their Jia acquisitions instead of standalone releases.
