edgedrv Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 A film box set of Astaire-Rogers films which includes TOP HAT, CAREFREE, SHALL WE DANCE and FOLLOW THE FLEET is available on DVD, but only in Region 2, which means Europe only. Ava Astaire does introductions for all four films. Could the U.S. release be far behind? I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moviejoe79 Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 There has been a lot of talk about a box set here in the U.S. Supposedly Warners is prepping one for release, and I hope that when they do they include ALL of their films, from "Flying Down to Rio" right up to "The Barkleys of Broadway." Hopefully they're doing this and that's why it's taking awhile. I'm pretty sure they will release a set since all of their films were on VHS, and released more than once in that format. Thankfully Warners is giving us so many other great films this next year to keep us busy! I still can't wait for "Dinner at Eight," "Bringing Up Baby," and "Stage Door," and the great "Gangster" box set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgedrv Posted December 24, 2004 Author Share Posted December 24, 2004 I know all of the Astaire-Rogers RKO films badly need restoration. I am not sure if these European releases were restored by the studio. They could be since Ava Astaire is doing introduction to the films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
