davisdvd.com is posting this as being released in June. Does anyone know which films it will include and whether or not they will be sold separately? Any hopes that it would contain her one Sturges treat?

I'm surprised I haven't yet read any reviews for any title of this set. What gives?

No one seems to be interested in Grable these days. She has dated unfortunately. Her films just have a camp value now, and are only worth watching for the wild and drug-induced antics of Carmen Miranda.

Can't believe it. Was just watching this film in stunning 40's Fox Technicolor and there is Marcel Dalio (the lead from La Regle du Jeu) in an uncredited bit part as a head waiter escorting the sumptuous Betty Grable in a stylish Fox inspired New York nightclub.
Can't belive it. He had many bit parts in the 40's in Hollywood.
I think he was Jewish and got out of Nazi occupied France.
Idoubt anyone in Hollywood (especially bimbo Grable) knew who he was.
Just looked up IMDB and he was Jewish, and got out in time, even though French born Jews were relatively safe in occupied France.

Schickel's commentary on this film, is surprisingly, quite good and amusing.
He loves picking on the film's many and quite innocent idiosyncracies.

Somebody really ought to count the number of times Dalio played a croupier. He had the same duties in Casablanca, where I like his exchanges with Bogart:
How are we doing tonight, Frenchy?
Well, not as well as I had hoped....

He was even in Song of Bernadette ( which I had the pleasure of viweing recently).
