Re: Cavalcade & A Tree Grows in Brooklyn to make their US de
But they are not officially confirmed yet. Just Fox saying there are plans for 75 years of 20th Century Fox. I really hope to see good extras, and possible Blurays of old films.

Re: Fox 75th Anniversary releases
Fox rips off Warner Bros. once again with their "Classic Quad Sets." I can't decide if I love or hate the idea of All About Eve and Beyond the Valley of the Dolls being in the same set. And the names of these sets: Classic Quad Set 5? There's something very cynical about that, like, "No one is going to buy these anyway, so we're not even going to give them descriptive names like 'Fox Classic Quartet: Film Noir.'"

Re: Fox 75th Anniversary releases
I also can't really see the connection that Inn of the Sixth Happiness has with the Valley Of The Dolls films and All About Eve!

Re: Fox 75th Anniversary releases
At least there's a chance if you're fond of one of the film's in the set you'll also like the others (maybe.) At least they're nothing like that one Lionsgate DVD that had Brain Candy and Back to the Beach together, both films appealing to different tastes and it's pretty much guaranteed if someone likes one of the films they will certainly hate the other.

Re: Fox 75th Anniversary releases
If they do the thing Warners did where they transferred over the extras, these are a good deal. Otherwise I'd pick up the individual releases, especially since they're so cheap and all have great bonus material

Re: Fox 75th Anniversary releases
Stupid combinations. At least Warner made more sense, but Russ Meyer and All About Eve??? I think I might pick up the epics one.

Re: Fox 75th Anniversary releases
It's so gonzo, I've decided to love it.I can't decide if I love or hate the idea of All About Eve and Beyond the Valley of the Dolls being in the same set.
BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS has a suggested retail of $26.98; the Quad is $19.98...Otherwise I'd pick up the individual releases, especially since they're so cheap and all have great bonus material

Re: Fox 75th Anniversary releases
I read somewhere that Kazan's "Wild River" was owned by Fox. Certainly this movie is one of Kazan's severely underrated efforts. It's subtle performances by Remick and Clift are really outstanding. For those very reasons I suspect it will not be included in whatever movies Fox puts out to celebrate their 75th year.

Fox does own it. It's one of those Fox films that's available on DVD just about everywhere except in the country in which it was made.

After that beaut print that's been making the rep rounds, I kind of suspect a Criterion might be in its future, ala Bigger Than Life

Re: Fox 75th Anniversary releases
I have it on good authority that Fox is working on a Kazan box. I was told it would likely include all the Kazan films for which Fox still holds the rights. The Fox Kazans are A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, Boomerang!, Gentleman's Agreement, Pinky, Panic in the Streets, Viva Zapata!, Man on a Tightrope, and Wild River.
Anyway, that's all I know.

They must be, because I just broke down and bought the R2 Viva Zapata! a few days ago

My choice of metaphor might be inappropriate, particularly given the number of air-ace titles you've listed but they seem to be really 'plumbing the depths', now!domino harvey wrote:More of the sets are a'coming:

Re: Fox 75th Anniversary releases
It's very weird - they went from set 9 to set 11. August sets show that they still make these with no rhyme or reason.

Why in the world would they separate the Desert Rats from the Desert Fox?

Re: Fox 75th Anniversary releases
The Sea of Grass is MGM production, now owned by Warner. The fact they didn't dump it or Keeper of the Flame into archives hopefully means they are going to release a Hepburn-Tracy Collection.

Not to get anyone's hopes up but Fox insinuated to me that they are working to include Kazan's Columbia titles in the forthcoming set.

Re: Fox 75th Anniversary releases
Wouldn't that just be On the Waterfront? Or am I missing one?
Either way, I hope this set comes sooner rather than later... Wild River is in serious need of a resurrection!

Re: Fox 75th Anniversary releases
You might be right, no titles or were stated so it may just be one title. They may figure it'll help boost sales.HypnoHelioStaticStasis wrote:Wouldn't that just be On the Waterfront? Or am I missing one?

Re: Fox 75th Anniversary releases
Fortunately, Target is now carrying the Fox 75th Anniversary quad sets and have all of 1-18 (of course, no #10) for $9.99. But has anyone tried to redeem the code that is on the packaging to get their 75th Anniversary posters? I've tried and none of them have worked.
