A Claudette Colbert set from Universal in November

[Harold Aherne]

Universal is releasing a 3-disc set of six Claudette Colbert films on 3 November, most new to home video:

Three-Cornered Moon (33)
Maid of Salem (37)
I Met Him in Paris (37)
Bluebeard's Eighth Wife (38)
No Time for Love (43)
The Egg and I (47)

Details here. I was hoping for more of her early rarities, like A Hole in the Wall or Manslaughter, but this is a good selection and the first three titles haven't been seen that often, at least in recent years.

Especially since EGG AND I is a double-dip, having already appeared in the first MA & PA KETTLE set.

Finally Bluebeard's Eighth Wife in Region 1!!!

Great news. Too bad Zaza ain't included.

Hopefully they are saving these and others (like Honor Among Lovers, The Wiser Sex and Secrets of Secretary) for a another volume of Pre-Code films.

This is a definite buy for me with Bluebeard's Eighth Wife. I haven't seen Claudette give a bad performance yet and am sure I will enjoy the others as well. I hope His Woman, another she did with Gary Cooper, will eventually see the light of day, maybe in a pre-code set.

I'm so glad to see Universal putting out so many great Paramount films - keep 'em coming!!
