OTW was included. I've read of some who have already ordered it. As you surmised, it is probably out of stock now, and as I mentioned below, the item must be in stock, which excludes future releases.

Criterion.com has a 50% off one-day sale on titles that are in stock. Sale ends at noon EST on 2/27. Use code word: FLASHY The shipping is high unless you spend over $50, which makes it free.

Sigh, I don't think I am going to bother listing any comments here because a quick glance shows the usual complainers complaining. But I did want to pass on this really brilliant short that was nominated. Only takes a minute and 46 seconds to view. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQMO6vjmkyI

Amazon has the Blu-ray digibook of Citizen Kane for $13.99. In addition, they have the digibook for Cleopatra for $18.99 and the regular Blu for for $13.49.

> {quote:title=finance wrote:}{quote}You're assuming that Drew Barrymore has heard of the film. Your comment is kind of nasty. But it's par for the course, so I am not surprised.

Sigh, every weekend same spammers. Must we be hounded like this?

Hello, Dolly coming on Blu-ray April 2nd.

She did star on Broadway with "The Boy Friend" costar Tommy Tune in My One and Only. It won the Tony Award for Best Musical and she was nominated for Best Actress in a Musical, and Tune won for Best Actor.

Another Olive title on Blu-ray and DVD: Magic Town starring James Stewart, Apr. 23

I'm not sure. My first thought was something DIsney since they control the theater...but then I began to wonder about Hondo, since it is in 3D and the El Capitan is set up with it...but I think it is likely to go to the Egyptian. Kismet and South Pacific would be good since the El Capitan has shown musicals and have a great sound system.

Christopher Gable, who plays Twiggy's love interest, had a very nice, natural quality on screen in this film. He had been a ballet star prior to this but took up acting when he developed a rheumatoid condition with his feet. He founded a school for ballet, and later was given the honor of a Commander of the Order of the British Empire for his contributions to dance in Britiain. He appeared in a number of TV productions, including portraying Jack Buchanan (who co-starred with Fred Astaire in MGM's The Band Wagon) in "Remember Jack Buchanan."

How many watched this Ken Russell tribute to the musicals of stage and early sound films? I saw it when it first came out and still enjoy it. It's fun. Twiggy is actually quite likeable in it. Plus you have cute Barbara Windsor (of the Carry On films), future Broadway star/director Tommy Tune, and a surprise appearance from a famous actress from the early 1970s as Rita, the star who twists her ankle and can't go on (shades of 42nd Street!).

The Big Parade??!!! Funny, I can't think of anyone on the whole board who would show up for that. I am excited by Max Von Sydow attending!

Though that picture looks like a circus is going on, seeing a film at the El Capitan is one of the greatest movie-going experiences there is. The opening of the curtains is worth the price of admission!

Three more titles are coming from Olive Films on *April 23rd*. All will be released on both standard DVD and Blu-Ray. The Red Pony (1949) - Myrna Loy, Robert Mitchum, Louis Calhern, Shepperd Strudwick, Peter Miles Santa Fe Stampede (1938) - John Wayne, Ray Corrigan, Max Terhune, June Martel Wake of the Red Witch (1949) - John Wayne, Gail Russell, Gig Young, Adele Mara

I also recommend the Ellery Queen TV series.
