Re: Kino Lorber Studio Classics
KLSC are releasing Lewis Milestone's The North Star and it's re-edit, Armored Attack, the former will feature an Adrian Martin commentary, the latter Steve Mitchell and Steven Jay Rubin. looks like a pretty cool package. Kino is the only US based label who have answered this forum (and others') pleas for more Martin tracks - he's been on a pretty steady roll with them, which I'm sure will please many of us

Re: Kino Lorber Studio Classics
It was previously released by Olive on Blu with both cuts as well, though they front-lined the later recut and relegated the original version to a bonus feature for some reason. I thought I'd written it up on here but I can't find anything but it's sadly not that good (though I liked the merciless and brutal attack scene on the road)

Kino Insider answered some questions yesterday at the Blu-ray.com forum:
ASH WEDNESDAY
PLEASURE OF HIS COMPANY
MY SIX LOVES
THE VULTURE
STRANGE AFFAIR
TERROR IN THE WAX MUSEUM
You Came Along (1945)
Caged Fury (1948)
Bride Of Vengeance (1949)
Dear Wife (1949)
Manhandled (1949)
Red Hot And Blue (1949)
And today he answered some more questions
There will be a Republic Pictures noir box set, they have picked up 4 or 5 Paramount titles released by Shout/Scream
Storm Over Lisbon (1944)
That Brennan Girl (1946)
The Flame (1947)
More on former Shout Paramount titles, Kino said they have 5-7 of the following and some will be UHD only and some will be UHD and Blu-ray releases:
The Fan
Prophecy
Bug
Let's Scare Jessica to Death
Body Parts
Pet Sematary Two
Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter
Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell
Orca
Graveyard Shift
The Tenant
No Way to Treat a Lady
Lady in a Cage
Whispers in the Dark
The Temp
Lipstick
Cursed
The Ghost and the Darkness
Fire in the Sky
Bless the Child
Summer School
Explorers
Danger: Diabolik
They have one or more of the following:
Dante's Peak (1997)
Daylight (1996)
Earthquake (1974)
Airport franchise (1970-1979)
The Hindenburg (1975)
Rollercoaster (1977)
and one of the following:
Rage in Harlem
Heartburn
Fluke
Thirteen Days
Paper Moon (with another label)
Hellbound
The Hitman (not available to Kino)
1. Any more two disc releases with multiple cuts (similar to Macbeth and The North Star) in the current Paramount deal?
2. Are there any additional films that were formerly released as Olive Signature Editions in the current Paramount deal?
I'm sure there will be another 2-disc release, so many films have multiple cuts.
I don't think we have any other signature releases, Quiet Man and Rio Grand were not available. At this point, I don't think we've asked for many of the others.
Macbeth and NS were picked up because new transfers were done.
He was asked aboutRegarding the Paramount deal:
1- Is the new to Bluray disc from the 40’s a originally produced by Republic movie?
2- As for the 50’s new to Bluray discs are there any Oscar winning performances?
I don't think so we have any new to Blu-ray 40s Republic titles.
There are at least 2 1950s Oscar Winners first time on Blu-ray in the U.S., maybe more.

andNot from us, we asked for a couple, legal issues were holding them up
You Came Along (1945)
Caged Fury (1948)
Bride Of Vengeance (1949)
Dear Wife (1949)
Manhandled (1949)
Red Hot And Blue (1949)
They do have one of the following: “The Plunderers”, “That Brennan Girl”, “Come next spring”, “The Flame”, “Storm over Lisbon” and “Hellfire”.None of these are with us.
And today he answered some more questions
There will be a Republic Pictures noir box set, they have picked up 4 or 5 Paramount titles released by Shout/Scream
Asked about the remaining 1940s Paramount titlesDoes anyone know what the rights situation is like for the 1972 film, The Man with James Earl Jones?
I think another label has this, the same is true with Leadbelly, which used to have a large music clearance fee attached to it, but I think is now cleared.
The new to Blu-ray title will be one of the following:1 new to Blu-ray (and new to disc in the U.S.) film left unrevealed. YES
4 films previously on Blu-ray in the U.S. to be revealed, all former Olive releases. YES
1 of those 4 will be a 4K UHD release, seemingly a former Olive release. YES
1-2 of the 4 previously released films will be re-release(s) of John Wayne film(s) previously released by Olive. YES
Seemingly no Republic Trucolor or Technicolor films in the deal. Correct
Seemingly no additional new to disc 1940s Republic films in the deal. The first time on Blu-ray title is a Republic one
Storm Over Lisbon (1944)
That Brennan Girl (1946)
The Flame (1947)

Yes, it was one of Shout's first Paramount titles, and it has been OOP for a long time. No word on if anyone has it (I assume if it was available one of the various boutiques would have licensed it by now.)

Odd no one asked about that. They mostly were asking about Shout titles since four of Shout's Paramount titles (Graveyard Shift, The Tenant, Danger: Diabolik, & Orca) are going OOP and, I think, they want to know if they should wait or pick up the Shout Blu-rays before they disappear.

Re: Kino Lorber Studio Classics
I didn't much like A Rage in Harlem but it seems like a good fit for KLSC.
Interestingly, I just watched an old episode of Siskel and Ebert where they did something I'd never seen (and they admitted so too)-- they both changed their thumbs down to a thumbs up the week after their initial review on the program because they'd accidentally been shown a longer working cut and the final, shorter release cut they watched addressed the problems they had with it. The problems I had with it could not be fixed unless they cut it to the length of one of the those Fallen Angels episodes, but an interesting footnote and perhaps an indicator that the cut footage could be included

They’ve been amenable to discussing sales figures at times, particularly with OOP titles. They told me that Losey’s Figures in a Landscape sold horribly, but that it was a personal favourite of theirs.
Kazan and Preminger not being big movers is interesting given that they’re releasing The Visitors.

Re: Kino Lorber Studio Classics
I just saw Bad Girl at MoMA, I think my second time seeing it - I still like it but it's definitely a cut or two below my favorite Borzage films.
Fixed Bayonets is probably my pick though sadly it's also on the low end of that list.

They said later on in the thread that Bad Girl sold so poorly that it was the only title from the entire deal to not crack 2000 in sales and that it was over 500 copies sold less than the next lowest selling title

Makes sense, I get the impression that the average KLSC collector is more interested in scooping OOP copies of Celtic Pride on eBay for $100+ than pay $10 to try out a board favorite heredomino harvey wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2024 11:01 pmThey said later on in the thread that Bad Girl sold so poorly that it was the only title from the entire deal to not crack 2000 in sales and that it was over 500 copies sold less than the next lowest selling title
