That's nice for those who went with the Studio Canal set. Is the second season of the Hitchcock Hour planned?

Wow, what a bad film! When it turns out that the Jessica Biel version with Moulin Rouge!-esque jazz covers of modern songs is better than Hitchcock’s take, well, that says enough surely?

No news about season two. They release so much dross, I can’t imagine why they’re not pursuing at least the remaining two seasons (unless they’re still remastering them, since the previous set was done in house)

Right, yeah, it's one of his worst. But since the only version I've seen is a horrible PD print on poorly mastered DVD, I thought maybe seeing the restoration in HD might elevate it a little.

Some books tell me that Easy Virtue is bad, but it has some...er...virtues. ie Elements of the major works. But my fav Hitchbook, The Art Of Alfred Hitchcock, is rather kind to it. Mildly gushing, even.

Dammit I need to see this.

(And this is a 1927 film, not 1928, ok?)

That's great, but I wonder why they didn't release The Pleasure Garden as well? That is a better film, and has had a beautiful restoration that is not available anywhere else in the world on either DVD of blu.

In my opinion it would have made more sense to put Easy Virtue as an extra feature on a The Pleasure Garden release.

I guess there is still a chance that Imprint may give us a standalone release of The Pleasure Garden in the future?
