KL Insider has revealed that the release for 'One False Move' has been cancelled, and that it will most likely be released by another label or the studio themselves.

Kino never disappoints. Hoping this leads to a 4K release, or at the least, an extra-rich special edition elsewhere. Anything that isn't a barebones MOD release from Sony at this point.

[Finch]

Hopefully Indicator will step in for One False Move, now that they're releasing in the UK and US.

[Ribs]

I actually would believe its more likely elements issues or rights issues w producers or whatever have got in the way - it seems to me unlikely Sony or Mill Creek (who I think Kino have indicated they are actually sublicensing from? I may be wrong) would accidentally allocate this title twice.

It would be nice if Kino used this gap in its deal to pick up Ishtar and at least so a competent encode of the extant master if no other features as Indicator wasn’t able to give us. It seems unlikely the parties preventing its more comprehensive release will be able to loosen their grips on it any time soon…

[PfR73]

Why would you want KL to release a barebones Ishtar when you can already buy the Sony release?

[senseabove]

Today’s KLSC announcement is the first Sullavan/Stewart pairing (with a side order of Milland), Next Time We Love, which I vaguely recall liking…

[Maltic]

To be fair, there are maybe a dozen or more titles this past year that I'm very glad Kino released, though for the most part I'm just glad to have a particular film out

Provided the PQ/AQ is good, of course. But by and large, Kino release the films in about as good a quality as you would have expected from some of the other labels, no? Compare, for instance, the Indicator Columbia noir sets with a random batch of Kino-released noirs. Of course, their batting average is way lower than WAC's, but WAC have their niche... and access to the WB vault (I presume).

[swo17]

Correct, but those labels can't release everything. It's the one advantage of Kino's general quantity-over-quality approach. But off the top of my head, there are also instances where Kino have actually improved on the PQ of an Indicator or MoC release

[Maltic]

That's what I was trying to say - when Indicator does "dig deep" fx with the noir sets, the presentations aren't all WAC standard either, they rely on old masters like Kino often does etc.

KL Insider did state that other, unannounced, titles were also cancelled (I assume they might of been in the same package as "One False Move"). They are working on replacement titles.

[soundchaser]

Oh wow, fantastic. I know this played at MOMA a few years back, but I wasn't expecting it to have a new restoration.

[hearthesilence]

FWIW, MoMA is also screening a 35mm print twice next month

By Candlelight (1933) Starring Elissa Landi & Paul Lukas – Shot by John J. Mescall (The Bride of Frankenstein) – Directed by James Whale (Frankenstein, The Old Dark House, The Kiss Before the Mirror, Show Boat).

Oh, interesting choice! Can anyone here chime in what the film is like? I still have only seen his horror films but Showboat is on my watchlist.

Haven't seen it, but The Kiss Before The Mirror is pretty good with a nice hint of darkness.

[Matt]

Regular Lubitsch collaborator Hans Kraly was involved in the adaptation, and the plot is based on a case of mistaken identity between a butler and a prince, so probably expect something like a ‘30s Lubitsch comedy with a little more visual flair.

[Finch]

Thank you both! Appreciate it.

[dwk]

Grand Slam. I think they said this is the first in a 5 or 6 film deal with an independent company.

[captveg]

More OOP based on previously being in the "While Supplies Last" sale and now no longer appearing on the website:

The Cariboo Trail (1950) (DVD) (BD previously OOP)
The Organization (1971) (BD)

[dwk]

The Digital Bits is saying (and Dr. Bassoon repeated them) that Kino will be releasing Manhunter on UHD, BUT the Kino Insider said they asked but it wasn't available.

[FrauBlucher]

Hmm, could it be coming from Criterion.

[therewillbeblus]

I'd imagine a label like Shout! Factory would be more likely

[dwk]

Shout lost the rights to it two years ago. While it is possible they have re-licensed it, I would assume that they would have put their Blu-ray back in-print if that were the case.
