I believe Fun City released a pretty good Blu-Ray of this one last year if haven’t heard already.

The Small Back Room 4K
Dog Day Afternoon 4K

Also because I have a weird feeling on this… a coveted MGM silent. My guess is either The Crowd or Greed

I think Kummatty and Nidhanaya will be in the next WCP set as well as the ones listed.

Another coveted MGM silent, admittedly already available in a Warner Archive DVD, is getting a Blu-Ray upgrade from Flicker Alley at some point this year.

EDIT -- I meant to name the film forgot -- Sjostrom's HE WHO GETS SLAPPED.

If Criterion released one or both of these, especially if it was in the span of one month, then I would die happy.

I wouldn’t go that far (I personally find his works like The Music Lovers or The Devils and especially the sensory overload masterpiece that is Tommy to be a tad better though I still love Salome very much). However, given the presumably high sales of the 2 Vestron titles currently on Blu-Ray, I’m still surprised not even a company like BFI has bothered releasing it even on DVD as it’s gained quite a dedicated cult following over the years.

Such a shame that Mahler isn’t on Blu. I still think his 1969-1972 run is among the strongest in the history of cinema

Mahler is one that actually will be released by Criterion (alongside The Music Lovers)* so I assume that’s the holdup. Although I’d argue that his real golden run was from 68’s Delius: Song of Summer to 75’s Tommy (which even if you don’t like the film, is Russell at his most commercial, daring, and most idiosyncratic film).

*Can confirm this because when I saw Mahler on the Criterion Channel, it played with Criterion and Janus logos as did Russell’s The Music Lovers (allegedly).
