I think the Kino rep said on the Blu-ray forum that they tried to get The Man Who Laughs but couldn't. Don't know if it is already with another label or if Universal intends to release it themselves (doubtful)

I suppose the smart money would be on the 1932 title (s?) being Ford's Air Mail or Murders in the Rue Morgue, but I have my fingers crossed for Edward L. Cahn's Afraid to Talk

Kino's pull with Universal is apparently pretty poor:
We asked for The Big Clock, Black Angel, The Blue Dahlia, Criss Cross, The Glass Key, The Lost Weekend, Phantom Lady and This Gun For Hire and none were available to us.

hopefully the reason they could not get those titles is that Arrow Academy has some noir plans of a significant nature.

Or Criterion might have gotten at least one or two of those noirs. I seem to recall that directors Frank Tuttle (This Gun for Hire) and George Marshall (The Blue Dahlia) had phantom pages in the past.

That's even better. Maybe Criterion's next big project is a hell of a noir box.

Have you seen the list? We have many great titles in the deal, including a bunch of essentials. They cannot license titles to us that they plan to release themselves or ones they've already licensed to others.

Roger Moore (Live and Let Die, Street People) and Susannah York (The Killing of Sister George) star in this explosive 1974 international conspiracy thriller, set in the South African goldfields and directed by Peter Hunt (On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, Death Hunt). A ruthless global cabal of financial investors plans to manipulate the price of gold on the world market – by sabotaging one of South Africa’s top gold mines and flooding it with millions of gallons of water. All they need is someone to take the blame. Manager Rod Slater (Moore) seems the perfect choice. He’s brash, rough and impulsive – just the sort of man to make a fatal mistake. As Slater embarks on an affair with Terry (York), the heiress granddaughter of mine owner Hurry Hirschfeld (Ray Milland, Panic in Year Zero!), the conspiracy tightens all around him and thousands of lives hang by a thread... Based on a best-selling novel by Wilbur Smith (Dark of the Sun, Shout at the Devil) and filmed entirely on location in South Africa, Gold is an unforgettable thriller with a breathtaking climax and a fantastic cast which also includes John Gielgud (The Whistle Blower) and Bradford Dillman (Compulsion).

An investigative journalist takes a stab at the supernatural - This unforgettable first entry in the Night Stalker series introduced the world to the quirky reporter with a penchant for the paranormal and became one of the top-rated TV movies of all time. Investigating a series of Las Vegas murders, Carl Kolchak (Darren McGavin, The Night Strangler) discovers that each victim has been bitten in the neck and drained of blood. Though Kolchak's outlandish theory about the murders gets him nowhere with the police, his initiative to apprehend the killer himself gets him into hot water... with a modern-day vampire. The great John Llewellyn Moxey (Nightmare in Badham County) directed this Dan Curtis (Burnt Offerings) production featuring Carol Lynley (The Poseidon Adventure), Simon Oakland (The Hunting Party), Ralph Meeker (Big House, U.S.A.), Claude Akins (A Man Called Sledge), Charles McGraw (The Narrow Margin), Kent Smith (The Spiral Staircase), Elisha Cook Jr. (I Wake Up Screaming) and Larry Linville (TV’s M*A*S*H). Teleplay by legendary sci-fi/horror writer Richard Matheson (The Incredible Shrinking Man).
