Oooh! That completely slipped past me. Thank you! I don't think they've done Captain Blood yet though?

Is Greed going to end up in the public domain soon?

Re: Warner Brothers Archive Collection Blu-rays
I think Greed was entered into the public records for copyright purposes in 1925 so three years from now.

Re: Warner Brothers Archive Collection Blu-rays
This type of Code counterfactualismAngels with Dirty Faces takes a soft left turn during its final stretch, pushing hard for Rocky's death-bed redemption as Jerry pleads with him to find God mere moments before execution. The reason? Those troubled kids, who still idolize the scrappy outlaw, might not follow in his wavering footsteps. It's a sappy swerve that, while not as jaw-droppingly awful as the one in San Francisco (also released during the Hays Code's infancy, just two years prior), still feels like further melodramatic mistreatment of Cagney's character. (And that angelic coda? Gag me with a spoon.) Even so, it's at least not too terribly unexpected and, as part of an otherwise magnetic film packed with fantastic one-liners, great action, and solid performances, one wrong turn obviously can't sink the ship. But had it been made, say, five years earlier, Angels with Dirty Faces would be an absolute classic of Hollywood's Golden Age.

The entire point of the film is that ending

Shhh. Nobody let him know the ambiguity of the ending.

Well that's definitely the case with this one.
Rayon Vert wrote: ↑Sun Aug 25, 2019 12:14 amThe Three Musketeers (Sidney 1948). Gene Kelly went straight from The Pirate to playing another swashbuckling role here, this time non-musical. The way he romantically pounces on June Allyson is eerily similar to what he did with Judy Garland in the preceding film. His athleticism makes him a good candidate for this type of role, and he shows it in a pretty good extended sword fight scene early in the film. The first half-hour or so threatens some amount of middling fun, but then that dissipates and just becomes this absolutely bland, style-less MGM Technicolor studio slop. An impressive cast, including also Lana Turner, Van Heflin, Angela Lansbury and Vincent Price as Richelieu, are just absolutely wasted – everybody, including Kelly, is lost in this dull snoozefest.

I guess I still want these to exist on BD, though, and you have to admire WAC for being systematic about it

It looks like they are now going through the Literary Classics and Errol Flynn Adventures sets now that we’ve gotten multiple titles

They've also previously released multiple titles from the Motion Picture Masterpieces literary adaptations collection, but we're still waiting for David Copperfield

On "The Extras" podcast, George Feltenstein talks about the forthcoming Song of the Thin Man and Stage Fright and looks back on Warner Archive in 2021.
He also gives details on the forthcoming ("early part of the year") Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm Blu-ray: two discs, letterbox and Smilebox, vintage and new supplements (he calls this release "pretty substantial" in this regard).
