Marlene Dietrich 18 DVD Collection (UK R2)

[Scharphedin2]

This has been posted for a while on play.com, which is usually a reliable source.

There is no information on who is putting it out, or, which titles are to be included. The retail price is set at £150 (pre-order £120), and the release date (having been pushed a couple of times) is late August.

Anyone here have any additional information? SHANGHAI EXPRESS??

I posted the same question on the DVDtalk forum, and received some feedback from the good people over there.

According to rather scant info from Universal (who will be releasing this monster box in the UK), the set should be out on August 14th. The retail price is set at €150 (€120 pre-order at play.com), and should include the following films (tbc):

Angel
Blonde Venus
Desire
Destry Rides Again
The Devil Is A Woman
Dishonored
The Flame Of New Orleans
Follow The Boys
A Foreign Affair
Golden Earrings
Morocco
Pittsburgh
The Scarlet Empress
Seven Sinners
Shanghai Express
The Song Of Songs
The Spoilers
Touch Of Evil

Davidhare, I think it may already be out as a single disc release in France or Netherlands...?

Damn - does this mean having to buy the whole friggin box just for Shanghai Express?

you can buy the box, take out Shanghai Express, then sell the rest of the box, non?

I think this may be the first DVD release for A Foreign Affair, as well. One of my favorite films ... but the price is a little steep for me.
