Criterion Discussion and Random Speculation Volume 7

[James Stock]

I may be misremembering but I distinctly remember reading somewhere (it may have been the KL Insider?) that Criterion has The Misfits.

Edit: I did indeed read it in the KL thread, the Insider implied it was but didn't confirm it.

I know this is a weird source, but I was in the Vinegar Syndrome store in Toronto on the weekend, and someone was asking about Demonlover, and the clerk said he could see an Criterion edition in his system.

[domino harvey]

Surely someone just entered the Arrow into their stock system incorrectly?

[WrathOfAguirre]

Or maybe the clerk misheard and assumed they were asking about Demon Hunter.

Give me a 4K of Demon SEED! WAC blu ray appears to be OOP. It will never happen, but I would pay money to hear Julie Christie talk about this film.

Or a Cammell Eclipse box with all 3 of his films. White Of The Eye is excellent.

Better yet, a Julie Christie box set. She has several titles that are Criterion worthy, and a few that have been long rumored:

Darling
Fahrenheit 451
Far from the Madding Crowd
Petulia
The Go-Between

Seems like something Imprint would do, albeit with less desired titles but one or two

[FrauBlucher]

Not really a Criterion thing doing collections of actors

[swo17]

Other than Paul Robeson

[Lowry_Sam]

Unless it's martial arts or paired with a director (Dietrich/von Sternberg). A Schlesinger/Christie box would be nice if only 3 titles.

Other than Paul Robeson

And Ingrid Bergman

[crimlaw]

I can see the remote potential of a Schlesinger/Christie box set. More likely, The Go-Between as part of a Losey/Pinter set.

[Feego]

There have also been instances of two separate releases coming out the same month featuring the same star, such as Now, Voyager/All About Eve or Altered States/A History of Violence.

[ryannichols7]

Petulia coming out, however it can, so I can finally junk my WAC DVD.... is plenty for me

[FrauBlucher]

Unless it's martial arts or paired with a director (Dietrich/von Sternberg). A Schlesinger/Christie box would be nice if only 3 titles.

Yeah, Bergman and Dietrich are paired with directors. It's not like WAC that just puts out actors collections, which seem very random. Not CC's way. A Schlesinger/Christie collection would be outstanding. I'm sure there may be others that I can't think of off the top of my head

[swo17]

There was that Ingrid Bergman Eclipse set. Also Sabu (though all the films were directed by Zoltán Korda)

[FrauBlucher]

Ok. You got me. But they are a few and far between. It's not like they will do Stanwyck or Monroe sets. (Watch them release a Monroe set now)

[Lowry_Sam]

Ok. You got me. But they are a few and far between. It's not like they will do Stanwyck or Monroe sets. (Watch them release a Monroe set now)

Next month will be their last opportunity to capitalize on all the Monroe @ 100 hype. Monroe @ Fox? Including her noirs & comedies in the same box isn't very likely.

[Lowry_Sam]

Just noticed on the channel that all the films in the "starring Ninón Sevilla" theme begin with the crazy C, so maybe we were going to get a Ninón Sevilla box but only ended up with Victims Of Sin on disc.

[Mr.DarjeelingLimited]

Or what if the ones that weren’t released come out in an Eclipse Set later
