I saw On Moonlight Bay has been added to HBOMax, so that plus the fact that it's terrible must mean a WA Blu-ray is coming soon, right

I was wondering the same thing: Both 'The Shop Around the Corner' and 'Young Man with a Horn' have not shipped yet, whereas all other items in my order shipped long ago.barryconvex wrote: ↑Wed Jan 06, 2021 4:54 amHas anyone received their blu of The Shop Around The Corner? I haven't heard anything about my order in weeks and I've already received everything else I bought a few weeks before Christmas.

My copy of The Shop Around the Corner (purchased through Amazon) is due to arrive tomorrow or the day after.

Re: Warner Brothers Archive Collection Blu-rays
I heard about this through a Sondheim-loving (and former theater major) friend. IIRC Todd Haynes directed one of the segments.
At one point D A Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus were approached to direct the whole thing before it mutated into what we have here, and I believe some of the newly shot footage was theirs.

Followed by A Tale of Two Cities, as leaked yesterday, and Kazan's Baby Doll so far.
The Sondheim doc is amusing and informative enough. Despite being a former theater major, I've never been a big Sondheim fan, but I watched it as a Haynes completionist since he directs one of the music video-style performance segments, of Jarvis Cocker singing "I'm Still Here."

What a long-overdue pleasant surprise! The only caveat is that the film demands contextual extras and I'm afraid WA won't deliver- but either way, thrilled for this announcement

Agreed, I'm looking forward to this one. I'm surprised that it's coming before Splendor in the Grass but this is Warner Archive after alltherewillbeblus wrote:What a long-overdue pleasant surprise!

There was an interview bonus with the surviving cast on the previous DVD where they went into the reception, I’m sure it gets brought over. This is an essential upgrade!!therewillbeblus wrote: ↑Mon Jan 11, 2021 5:20 pmWhat a long-overdue pleasant surprise!

Release specs state there's a bonus feature - "Baby Doll: See No Evil - vintage featurette". Not sure if this is the one you are thinking of.domino harvey wrote: ↑Mon Jan 11, 2021 5:40 pmThere was an interview bonus with the surviving cast on the previous DVD where they went into the reception, I’m sure it gets brought over.

Re: Warner Brothers Archive Collection Blu-rays
Six by Sondheim isn't my favorite Sondheim-related work (I find a few of the song choices a little pat, and the casting is undoubtedly pretty safe and bland), but the "Opening Doors" segment is worth seeing for Sondheim's perfectly hammy performance of his own material.

“Vintage” is a bit comical given that it was made for the DVD all of fifteen years ago, but that is indeed itcaptveg wrote: ↑Mon Jan 11, 2021 5:55 pmRelease specs state there's a bonus feature - "Baby Doll: See No Evil - vintage featurette".

Re: Warner Brothers Archive Collection Blu-rays
I'll probably pick this up to revisit it, but in my head I had mixed the movie up with In Old Chicago for whatever reason so was briefly more excited as that's definitely one I liked quite a bit more. Will not complain about them putting out pretty much anything at this point thoughcaptveg wrote: ↑Mon Jan 11, 2021 6:04 pmSan Francisco (1936) also announced.

Re: Warner Brothers Archive Collection Blu-rays
Yep, In Old Chicago 100% ripped off San Francisco’s formula but did it much better. I get why Warners would release a disaster film on Blu-Ray, but oof, I think anyone enticed by the promise of such a thing should be aware of how much of the film they’ll have to sit through to get to it

Well, I’m really excited about San Francisco myself, I was just planning on finally grabbing the DVD thinking an upgrade would probably never happen.

The WA notes that Baby Doll Blu will be 1.85. It should be Academy...

Re: Warner Brothers Archive Collection Blu-rays
Preemptive Bob F (don't summon his Google Alerts pls) "This is technically filmed and released in both widescreen and Academy and shot to protect both ratios," but having seen this movie many, many times, Warners were right with their initial instinct to release it in the open matte Academy version. I can't imagine how some of the Baker/Wallach scenes would even be watchable with the top and bottom cropped off

Re: Warner Brothers Archive Collection Blu-rays
This is the same guy who is known for his archival work and (more recently) "three-dee" presentations at respectable film institutions? Is he known to stir up trouble here?
