Yes, there had been a few criticisms about subtitles, but otherwise people were very positive.

Chandu the Magician (1932) (Fox) announced

Maybe MisterLime drama can get the thread of its own? I'm sure it's not the last time he offends someone again...

This looks pretty sweet.

Nice. Excited to finally get this. It's one of my favorite films.

Cry of the City the next Fox title announced.

Whoa, so Criterion actually sat on it so long that the rights relapsed! At least someone's finally putting it out

That attempt at Victor Mature's likeness is making it look like a "hag horror" movie.

Mercedes McCambridge in Cry of the City!

Deadline - U.S.A. will have an audio commentary by film historian Eddie Muller...

One Million Years B.C. (1966) announced.

MisterLime states that they're "trying to get the uncut version."

Scott noticed a few errors... and asked me to send you these corrections:

Pitfall is not a Ignite title - should be under other studios

The Pit and They're Playing with Fire are Lakeshore titles - so is Star Crystal

Legend of Hillbilly John is part of Worldwide Entertainment, not Lakeshore.

When Eight Bells Toll and Face to Face are missing, add them to "other studios".

Missing from the MGM list are: Black Sabbath (AIP version), Bobbie Jo and the Outlaw and F.I.S.T.

All updated, thanks! Do you know who licensed Absolution and Candy?

Road House (Jean Negulesco, 1948)

Interesting. Can we expect a rash of the Fox Noir titles that Twilight Time hasn't licensed? Hopefully Somewhere in the Night is coming soon.

Ashirg wrote:All updated, thanks! Do you know who licensed Absolution and Candy?

Absolution, Candy, Face to Face and When Eight Bells Toll are all from a company called Hollywood Classics.

Thanks - Updated the list with September dates.

Somewhere in the Night is getting a blu-ray release in France from Rimini Editions in May. Kino won't beat it, but I hope it's announced before that streets.

Hollywood Classics doesn't really own any movies of their own; they represent studios, etc. and handle things like non-theatrical bookings or, in some cases--like this--home video licensing. Their website:

Special Features:

  Shoot it in the Lone Pine! - Featurette
  Restoration Comparison
  Trailers

The Mark of Zorro (Rouben Mamoulian, 1940)

Very good news about Mamoulian's ZORRO.

I guess they will use the same HD master used in France by Sidonis which was rather good.

Witchcraft (Don Sharp, 1964)

Preston Sturges' The Beautiful Blonde From Bashful Bend announced.

Also Richard Lester's Finders Keepers. \:D/ The movie is lots of fun, and the only feature Lester did that never even made it to DVD. It's also a "Brand New 2016 Master", according to the always polite Kino Insider Mr. Lime.

And they just announced another noir - I Wake Up Screaming
