I presume the restoration of Straight Shooting is from the LoC print? It's a magnificent-looking film.

If this isn't one of their 4K titles, then I don't know what to think about their priorities.

I’m still wondering whatever happened to their Lost Weekend release.

Does their upcoming disc of Isadora only feature one cut of it? Their website doesn't specify whether it's the original version or the extended
cut Reisz prepared decades later, which is what was released on VHS. What an interesting pair on the commentary-Sidney J. Furie's biographer and the director of Get Crazy!/Heartbeeps.

That question was literally the next post after the announcement post and they already confirmed it's BD only.

Given the hints they had given for a future UHD release (classic from the 60s that had a 4K restoration and had already been released on Blu-ray by another label before said restoration) my guess was they were talking about
The Producers, so I assume that I was right and they canceled their plans for a UHD release.

Wasn't The Producers 4K restoration another piss-filter color job? I hope they attempt to correct this if the agreement allows.

Yes. The Kino Insider said they plan on color correcting it. But given the less than stellar job they did retiming The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly...

Their Memorial Day sale is live.
Great time to pull the trigger cheaply on Seven Days to Noon, which I strongly recommend! Some other recent releases included like Christmas in July, Brick and the Sergio Leone box.

Very surprised that the Barbara Stanwyck box is included - was planning on adding it anyway once I had other things to bring it to the free shipping threshold! Overall a very good selection with great prices on a ton of recent releases, though I wish a few other certain things had been thrown in as well.

Is this Leone box worth getting over the older one from Fox?

I think I wrote it up briefly over in the 50s thread a while back, but if for some reason you're looking for a wildcard curiosity to tip you over free shipping, Razzia Sur la Schnouf—roughly, "Smack Raid"—is a great little French underworld movie starring Jean Gabin as a crime boss tasked with a hands-on shape-up—and thus, for us, a tour—of the entire production and distribution line.

I guess I'm mildly pleased by what it means for the likelihood of more lesser Sirk coming from them that they see him as a strong enough draw to saddle something like Thunder with the barrel-scraping box-set price gouge? And while I don't exactly have high hopes, I
am intrigued by The Female Animal: produced by Zugsmith between The Tarnished Angels and Touch of Evil (to which this reportedly was the "A" picture!), shot by Russell Metty, and this for a plot synopsis:
"Jaded movie star Vanessa Windsor, saved from a studio accident by handsome extra Chris Farley, pursues him, and soon he’s the ‘caretaker’ of her beach house. Vanessa’s sexy, alcoholic adult daughter Penny accidentally meets Chris, who rescues her from an ‘octopus’ boyfriend. Before you know it, Chris is involved with both mother and daughter, and his only way out is to take a job in a Mexican picture about man-eating orchids…"
The Female Animal was so bad, oh my GOD. If you ever wondered how Jane Powell rates as a dramatic actress, the answer is she doesn't. Powell delivers what must be the worst on-screen drunk perf of all time. It's like watching someone imitate something they've never experienced or encountered. Perhaps that means her perf is actually great because I was as embarrassed for her as I'd be for a real drunk IRL. The movie is 100% not a Noir by even the loosest of definitions, KL prob just knew they'd never sell this without pairing it with some other movies. Arf arf

I can't say my curiosity about that movie had anything to do with Jane Powell, even if, uh, its stars weren't
completely irrelevant to my purely historical
interests. I'll have you know I'm helping Ryan Murphy with research.
But hey, I guess that's even more good news for their estimation of Sirk's draw?

He is shirtless all the time and gets oiled up real good. If that’s the main draw, you will love this movie

"main draw" is going a bit far, but it might make the sting of the box-set upsell for the Sirk/Colbert curiosity a little more bearable. IIRC you're cool on Sirk so I'll resist asking if that's throwing good money after bad.

I have seen Thunder on the Hill and can’t remember anything about it except Ann Blyth. Perhaps that reveals my own main draw?

Coming August 18th!
The Eagle and the Hawk (1933)
• NEW Audio Commentary by Author/Film Historian Lee Gambin and Actress/Film Historian Rutanya Alda
• Theatrical Trailer
• Dual-Layered BD50 Disc
• Optional English Subtitles
B&W 73 Minutes 1.37:1 Not Rated
Screen legends Cary Grant (North by Northwest), Fredric March (Inherit the Wind) and Carole Lombard (Nothing Sacred) star in this classic World War I film in the tradition of All Quiet on the Western Front. The Eagle and the Hawk is a powerful anti-war drama in which Grant and March play rival pilots with opposing codes of honor. Based on a story by John Monk Saunders (Wings, The Dawn Patrol) and featuring memorable supporting roles for Jackie Oakie (The Great Dictator) and Sir Guy Standing (Death Takes a Holiday), The Eagle and the Hawk is the film that The New York Times called “a drama told with a praiseworthy sense of realism.” With top-notch direction by Stuart Walker (The Mystery of Edwin Drood), The Eagle and the Hawk still packs a punch more than 75 years later.
