That went completely under my radar.

Any reviews on PQ, AQ, and special features? Compression? Same transfer as one/both of the Olive discs? One of the old discs just repressed under Paramount?

The transfer on the Paramount disc is better than the Olive disc but doesn't have the extras on the Olive Signature Edition.

It's not a licensing deal, it's the same situation as Disney and Sony.

WAC isn't in the licensing business.

Come Back, Little Sheba (1952) B&W 96 Minutes 1.37:1 NR
Based on William Inge�s classic play, Come Back, Little Sheba is the stirring tale of a life-weary couple who rescue hope from the ruins of the past. Shirley Booth (TV�s Hazel) stars as Lola, slovenly housewife to Doc Delaney (Burt Lancaster, Elmer Gantry), a recovering alcoholic. The Delaneys� life is dull and unchanging, but takes a dramatic turn when the couple take in a charming boarder, Marie (Terry Moore, Shack Out on 101, in an Oscar-nominated role). Marie becomes the daughter the Delaneys never had. But when Marie takes up with a boorish boyfriend (Richard Jaeckel, The Devil�s Brigade), Doc descends into a jealous tailspin and must once again face the temptations of the bottle. Lancaster, in an early and unconventional leading-man part, displays his towering talent; Booth, reprising her Tony Award-winning Broadway role, gives an Academy Award-winning performance (Best Actress, 1952) in her tour-de-force movie debut. Sharply directed by Daniel Mann (The Rose Tattoo) and photographed by James Wong Howe (Hud), Come Back, Little Sheba is an unforgettable film shimmering with life-truths and dramatic intensity.

The Country Girl (1954) B&W 104 Minutes 1.66:1 NR
Three legendary performers at the peak of their screen careers joined forces in this riveting film adaptation of Clifford Odets� acclaimed play. Bing Crosby (Going My Way, Road to Utopia) is Frank Elgin, an alcoholic, guilt-ridden former music star desperate to make a comeback. William Holden (Stalag 17, Sunset Boulevard) is the hotshot Broadway director in need of a �name� star for his new stage production. And Grace Kelly (High Noon, Rear Window) is The Country Girl�Frank�s long-suffering wife, who�s both weary of her husband�s weaknesses and wary of the director�s motives. Nominated for 7 Academy Awards including Best Actor (Crosby) and Best Picture of 1954, this sterling melodrama from writer-director George Seaton (Miracle on 34th Street, The Proud and Profane) earned Kelly an Oscar (Best Actress, 1954) for her strong and passionate performance as well as one for Seaton�s spellbinding screenplay.

The Rose Tattoo (1955) B&W 117 Minutes 1.78:1 NR
When Tennessee Williams (A Streetcar Named Desire, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof) wrote The Rose Tattoo, he had one actress in mind�Anna Magnani (The Fugitive Kind). Williams� sense of casting proved as sharp as his ear for dialogue. Magnani won an Oscar (Best Actress, 1955) for her bravura portrayal in this torrid drama that also earned Academy Awards for Best Cinematography (James Wong Howe, Hud) and Art Direction. Magnani plays Sicilian seamstress Serafina Delle Rose, who retreats from the world when her beloved husband dies. But Serafina reawakens to life�s joys when she meets Alvaro (screen icon Burt Lancaster, The Rainmaker), a happy-go-lucky truck driver who has the same sunny openness her husband had, even the same occupation. And on his chest is the same symbol of love, The Rose Tattoo. Masterfully directed by Daniel Mann (Come Back, Little Sheba), this lusty, passion-filled classic garnered a total of 8 Academy Award nominations including Best Supporting Actress (Marisa Pavan, The Midnight Story), Costumes (Edith Head), Editing (Warren Low), Score (Alex North) and Motion Picture (Hal B. Wallis).

Awesome news about Bad Boys (1983) 4K

Starchild

Thank you KL for Come Back, Little Sheba. For the first time ever my wife immediately asked if it was up for pre-order and said to make sure we get it immediately.

They signed a distribution deal in 2022. WB distributes all MGM movies theatrically outside the US and on home video worldwide, including the US. So I guess movies MGM wants to release are handled by WB and movies they don't want to release themselves are licensed to Shout and Kino.

Was Don't Worry Darling an MGM movie? I thought it was New Line/WB

Tonight TCM is showing Daughter of the Dragon. Was there ever any reason given why it wasn�t included in the Fu Manchu set?

The Country Girl should be 1.85:1 as seen in the Boxoffice magazine review:

I want Donovans Reef, El Dorado, and Island in the Sky these are my picks along with a Sands of Iwo Jima 4K restoration. True Grit feels more like a Paramount Presents 4K UHD title to me.

The ever annoying "rights issues."

Is this scene in the Australian DVD? (which I have)

Kino Lorber Insider: any chance Harold Robbins’ THE ADVENTURERS might get a bluray release? I know it’s weird, but it has a large cult following. Thanks.

Gabkat2007

Again, I'd like a remastered Blu-ray of NIMH to include both 1.37:1 and 1.66:1 aspect ratios... it should also use the original poster art, like the German Koch Media DigiBook and standard Blu-ray releases.

jaws3dfan

I don't know, can you pop it in and let us know? Thank you!

So WHV is the one manufacturing and distributing all those bare-bones discs?

Also, if WHV is doing the heavy lifting on MGM titles, is it possible for WAC to get those titles, and if so how would that work?
