NEW ON BLU-RAY/DVD

Criterion is bringing out ALL ABOUT EVE and NOW VOYAGER on 26th November, 2019.

A lovely cover for Now Voyager, but I don’t like the All About Eve disc cover.

Special features on All About Eve include a documentary, “All About Manckiewicz “ from 1983; episodes of the Dick Cavett show in 1969 and 1980, featuring Bette Davis and Gary Merrill; a 2001 documentary,”All About Eve”; a 1951 radio adaptation.

Anne Baxter, Celeste Holm.

Now Voyager extras a 1980 interview with Paul Henreid and two radio adaptations from 1943 and 1946.

Bette Davis.

The Warner Archive Collection is releasing THE LETTER on blu-ray . Special features include the alternate ending sequence and two radio adaptations from 1941 and 1944.

(I haven’t seen the alternate ending of The Letter but I understand it leaves out that final scene between Leslie and her husband in which she admits she still loves the man she killed.)

I look forward to both THE LETTER and THE SET UP ( The Set Up has a commentary by Robert Wise and Martin Scorsese.)

Both films are due out on September 24th, 2019.
