My birthday preorder of Wild Wild West 4 came through yesterday. I'm still on the last disc of season 1 though, so it'll be awhile before I get to it. :D

Took in a hefty DVD haul yesterday--my VCI copy of Jungle Queen arrived, along with the two Region 2 Siodmak films I scored off eBay, La Reina de Cobra (Cobra Woman) and Pesadilla (The Strange Affair of Uncle Harry). Here's the cover of the Cobra Woman DVD, which in itself should sell the product:

I also received the Warner Brothers Gangsters Collection Volume 3 and a handful of Region 2 releases from France: Rachel et l'étranger (1948, Rachel and the Stranger), Les Enfants d'Hitler (1943, Hitler's Children), Mr. Lucky (1943), Treize Femmes (1932, Thirteen Women), Voyage au pays de la peur (1942, Journey Into Fear) and Caught (1949).

Good to hear that CAUGHT is out on DVD. Robert Ryan is great as somebody who acts a lot like Howard Hughes, his co-stars are James Mason and Barbara Bel Geddes, and the great Max Ophuls directed.

www.amazon.fr

Many of these Region 2 DVDs have been released as part of an "RKO Collection" series. A list of what's available can be found at http://www.editionsmontparnasse.fr/collections/rko.

I got my review copy of The Woody Woodpecker and Friends Classic Cartoon Collection Volume 2. They did a better job this time around with the restoration.

I was at Wal-Mart today and was rifling through their $5 bin and grabbed a copy of The Best of Jack Benny which has 40 episodes on 4 discs. I almost picked it up one other time but this time I did.

Today, quite a haul. A few copies of VCI's The Phantom Empire... I wonder, should I give one away as a Balcony prize, or let you cheapskates buy one? Hmmm...

Also, got Sweeney Todd with Mr. Johnny Depp, VCI's new Jungle Queen serial ("13 chapters of SAVAGE THRILLS!"), a Cisco Kid triple feature, and Criterion's release of Truffaut's Shoot the Piano Player (#315).

And the hits just keep on comin'...

Who are you calling cheap, Mr. Criterion? I ordered a copy of Empire on the 28th because you and everyone else were saying such good things about it.

In the meantime, a couple of older titles from www.vintagefilmbuff.com were delivered to Rancho Yesteryear: the 1929 version of The Four Feathers and College Humor (1933) with Bing Crosby and George & Gracie.
