New Universal Catalog titles set for release on 5.31.05

From the Digital bits

Universal has announced the DVD release of more catalog titles for 5/31. Look for Bedtime for Bonzo, The Milagro Beanfield War, The Four Seasons, Dad, The Front Page and House Calls (all SRP $12.98 each). The Milagro Beanfield War will be anamorphic widescreen and will include the Robert Redford: Memories of Milagro documentary. No word yet on extras for the other titles (if any).

this is in the rumor mill and already posted in another thread...but for those who missed it

Our industry sources have informed us that Universal is currently working on a Flash Gordon: Special Edition for release on DVD later this year, in honor of the film's 25th anniversary

The only title there I'd be interested in would be the Flash Gordon - SE. I haven't even heard of the others.

It's about time.

Keep Hodges away from another commentary, and this thing could be the disc of the year.

Coming from Universal, would this be the Billy Wilder version of The Front Page?

Guess they didn't want to embarass Reagan by releasing this while he was still alive.

after recently seeing foolscreen / non-OAR releases (Tank, Ice Man), Universal gets a HUGE from me on their "studio selections".

I believe BUDDY BUDDY is owned by MGM since my vhs copy is MGM. But I haven't heard any word on its release. I wish Paramount would rerelease both Odd Couples.

Not all MGM movies are owned by Warner Bros. Even though Ted Turner and Sony bought alot of them, MGM still owns alot of their own.

To clarify...

Warner owns MGM titles made before 1986 that are not United Artist films (or recent MGM purchases -- such as the Orion or Polygram titles).
Sony owns MGM, so the others now fall under their control.


Buddy Buddy was a UA title. That means that MGM still controls it, hence it is now the property of Sony.
