edgeciff Posted February 23, 2011 As an exclusive at TCM two Jeanette MacDonald-Nelson Eddy films have been announced for release on April 25: SWEETHEARTS and NAUGHTY MARIETTA. Not sure if this is a new series of forthcoming pressed discs that will be exclusive to TCM like the Universal & RKO series. Each disc lists for $29.95 but pre-orders are $19.95.

edgeciff Posted March 2, 2011 Another exclusive, this time with Critics Choice: THE GREAT CARUSO with Mario Lanza and Ann Blyth on March 15. Don't know whether this one is MOD or pressed disc.or what extras, if any are included. CC is expensive and they are asking $23.96 for sale price with a list of $29.95. Apparently WB are trying different ways to gauge the public with these overpriced discs. Hope the film is remastered since the print was off on the laser disc and that the disc is available on other websites. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edgeciff Posted May 25, 2011 TCM (Movies Unlimited) is taking pre-orders for THE STUDENT PRINCE which sftars Ann Blyth and Edmund Purdom. This is an exclusive and remastered edition. THE GREAT CARUSO is also available from the site. Both discs are selling for $19.95 and are not yet available on the WB Shop site. . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edgeciff Posted August 9, 2011 TCM VAULT will release both versions of BACK STREET on September 26. The original starring Magaret Sullivan and Charles Boysr and the remake which stars Susan Hayward and John Gavin. h1. Back Street (1941)/Back Street (1961) *- Exclusive!* *Format:* Fannie Hurst's novel becomes a pair of classic melodramas in this twin bill. First, Charles Boyer and Margaret Sullavan are the star-crossed lovers in 1941's "Back Street." Reunited in New York City years after their marriage plans were sabotaged, Sullavan discovers that Boyer is now wed to another. Desperate to remain a part of his life, she agrees to become his mistress. With Richard Carlson, Tim Holt, Frank McHugh. Then, producer Ross Hunter's 1961 filming of "Back Street" stars Susan Hayward (in a career-defining role) as a woman who meets and falls for a handsome Marine (John Gavin) returning home from World War II. Fate brings them back together when Hayward moves to the Big Apple to start a fashion design career, but upon learning that Gavin now has a wife and child, she must stay in the shadows and is forced to accept her role as his mistress. Co-stars Vera Miles, Charles Drake, Virginia Grey. Soundtrack: English. Edited by: Edgecliff on Aug 9, 2011 2:09 PM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
richardny4me Posted August 9, 2011 Thanks for the news regarding Back Street! I was hoping for such a pairing. I am glad to see the TCM Vault Collection remains active; I hope for more announcements of other films from Universal and Paramount as we head toward the holidays.

classicmoviefan09 Posted October 4, 2011 I apologize if somebody has posted about this elsewhere on these boards, but TCM Vault is releasing the *Jean Arthur Comedy Collection* on *October 17th.* Adventure In Manhattan, More Than A Secretary, The Impatient Years and The Public Menace are the included titles. I don't recall The Public Menace having been broadcasted on TCM, making it likely the rarest of the films. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edgeciff Posted October 5, 2011 The Arthur collection is from the Sony Archives. Apparently Sony has hooked up with TCM Vault for some of their releases. I wonder if there are any other titles forthcoming since much has been released as DVD-R on the WB Archives site. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's great news! THE PUBLIC MENACE sure is a rare one! I believe it was scheduled once on TCM but then pulled from the schedule and not shown. I did get to see it (in a great-looking 35mm print) at the 2007 Capitolfest in Rome, NY. But I've never seen it anywhere else. The other titles on this set are also good and well worth seeing (as of course is anything with Jean Arthur!) but THE PUBLIC MENACE certainly will be the highlight of this set for many Jean Arthur fans.

These are all Universal films including most prominently the elusive "Female on the Beach". I don't think I've seen that one around since the days of the old AMC. So now TCM is making agreements for distributing more Universal MODs? Interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
