Hooway, indeed.

The clip is up on the Warner Archive site (the first 3 minutes of the picture) and this remastered FIVE STAR FINAL looks much better than the print shown on TCM. Higher list price, $24.99, but the preorder discount is $19.99.

No indications posted yet, but I'm certainly keeping my fingers crossed for Jewel Robbery and One Way Passage.

And Confession and Mandalay!

Mandalay is a hoot.

I also really like The House on 56th Street, 24 Hours, Girls About Town, and Gentlemen of the Press.

I wish this was one of the Universal/TCM collaborations. Then maybe we could get some of the Kay Francis films that never show up on tv like Girls About Town, 24 Hours and maybe even her film with Clara Bow, Dangerous Curves.

Those TCM Universal titles seemed to have slowed to a dead halt and the same seems to apply to the Universal/Paramount from Amazon too.
Oh, well, I just got a lot of Warner Archive ordered from DD for $14.54 each while the going is good. Pity the newer titles have not got to DD yet.

They just announced a Deanna Durbin box set and a Bob Hope set was released this week.

THE KEYHOLE will undoubtedly be one of the titles in the Francis set. They used to run that on TCM quite often.

Would someone pass the Windex? I was eating lunch when I read this.

It's my own fault. I should have put the yoghurt down when the subject turned to our girl Kay.

Bob Hope set is released and mine is in the mail, so to speak. The Deanna Durbin(actually box 2) has been delayed for a few weeks due to production capacity reasons whatever they mean by that!!!

There has been a lot of new, that is replicated items, delayed this year by weeks or months in what we talk about here.

I was over the moon reading about Kay's films being releases thru the Archive...I knew it had to happen eventually but have periodically had my hopes dashed. Obviously though good things happen for those that wait.

Kay has such a treasure trove of Pre-Coders that any releases would be welcome, Doctor Monica, Mary Stevens MD, Man Wanted, Street of Women, One Way Passage...the list goes on.

Harold Aherne · Post by **Harold Aherne** » Tue Jun 15, 2010 1:36 pm

Maybe It's Love has not appeared yet, but all the others announced for today are listed at the WA site, as well as a double feature of Madame X from 1929 and 1937.

Today Classicflix has a good rundown of the new Warner Archive Collection with thumbnails of the covers. Eventually I hope to see a couple I am after and seen before: Three on a Horse(1936, usual WB stock players) & Big Hearted Herbert(1934) both with Guy Kibbee who, of course, was in Convention City. Herbert was remade as Father is a Prince in 1940. Saw Herbert in a mint 35mm nitrate in the first three months of 1971 in a little room rented at the back of a Nth London house. Wonder what happened to that print??? If the people who owned the house knew there was nitrate there I guess he would have been shown the door.

The newest additions include three pictures made by Hal Roach in the mid 30s: Vagabond Lady (35) with Robert Young and Evelyn Venable, Mister Cinderella (36) with Jack Haley and Betty Furness, and Nobody's Baby (37) with Patsy Kelly, Lyda Roberti and Robert Armstrong.
