So is this now OOP? Amazon ran out of stock just as I was hovering over the buy button, of course.

It was 95% sold out as of this morning, and officially announcing that probably pushed it over the edge.

Eh? It's been OOS at Amazon for at least a few weeks now. I almost bought it a few times in the 2 for £25 offer, but decided I could wait for the re-release. Kinda regretting it now though, as I might not get to see The Seven Minutes (unless they end up releasing that separately too).

Good shout, I might try that. Crazy cheap price there!

Just to let others know, there are Amazon listings for reissues of Beyond the Valley of the Dolls (Blu-ray) and The Seven Minutes (DVD) set for September 5th. So these will still be in circulation, albeit sans-booklet and sans-slipcover. And cheaper too...at least eventually.

Michael, since you produced the Arrow release, do you know which is accurate about the transfer? Arrow's transfer notes list this as a 2K restoration, while Criterion's transfer notes list it as only a "high-definition" restoration (as opposed to VotD being listed as a 2K restoration). Caps comparisons do look like they are the same transfer, just with different gamma/brightness levels.

I haven't a clue, I'm afraid; this was years ago, I haven't produced anything for Arrow since 2017, and I no longer have any relevant materials. Sorry!

I bought the Arrow LE in April 2016. According to the LE booklet, Beyond the Valley of the Dolls was "restored in 2K from a 35mm Scope Interpositive and a 35mm Scope Internegative for the textless optical sections.....The restoration work was carried out at IVC on behalf of Fox Entertainment."

Yes, I have the Arrow LE also, along with the Criterion. I was asking Michael because those Arrow transfer notes differ on the resolution of the restoration compared to the Criterion transfer notes, even though both transfers appear to be the same.

I haven’t seen the Criterion, and we’d have reproduced the info provided by Fox in good faith.
