Fox Cinema Classics Collection debuts in January
Fox Home Entertainment have announced the Region 1 DVD release of 3 titles for 10th January 2006 as part of their new “Cinema Classics Collection” range. Priced at $19.98 SRP each are...
Island in the Sun - Four different love affairs simultaneously wreak havoc in the lives of the inhabitants of a tropical paradise. A wealthy plantation owner plots murder when he suspects his wife of having an adulterous relationship. At the same time, his sister-in-law is drawn to his enemy, a dedicated black labor leader, and a governor's aide is torn over his scandalous affair with a native woman. Darling and exquisitely filmed on location, this rich romantic story with it's focus on race, passion and politics, was one of the most talked about films of its day.
Features include:
2.35:1 Anamorphic Widescreen
English Dolby Surround
French & Spanish Mono
English & Spanish subtitles
Audio Commentary
Dorthy Dandridge: Little Girl Lost
Theatrical Trailer
Fox Flix: South Pacific & Carmen Jones
Pinky - Pinky (Jeanne Crain), a black woman who works as a nurse in Boston, finds she is able to "pass for white." Afraid her true heritage will be discovered, she leaves her white fiancé (William Lundigan) and returns home to Mississippi. There, she helps her ailing grandmother (Ethel Waters) by caring for her employer (Ethel Barrymore), an imperious plantation owner. When she names Pinky heiress to her estate, the community rises in resentment, triggering a sensational court trial.
Subject of landmark Supreme Court case in film censorship, this story about a mulatto woman's rights against prejudice, became itself, a battle for civil rights.

kind of sad they appear to be retiring the studio classics line. Great value and usually nice production values. I wonder if the MSRP for the film noir series will also go up?

The odd thing is, not only did Pinky (and Daddy Long Legs which is now one of the 'Marquee Musicals' line) appear in a flyer in the last batch of FSCs as being the next 'Studio Classics' releases, but Pinky is still on the FSC homepage as coming next - see here.

I haven't seen Island In The Sun for many years, but I always think of it more as a camp classic than a genuine quality film, while the other two titles genuinely deserve to be called "classic". Looking forward to picked up all three.

savant review of island in the sun
anybody found these on shelf yet, or got copies in early. Wondering what kind of numbering system they are using...also if they have announcements for future titles in the insert.

DVD Talk Special Edition
I just picked up all three Fox Cinema Classics at my local Best Buy for $9.99 each! I don't think anyone else comes close to that price.
And Cameron, no numbers this time, but each disc comes in a very nice card sleeve with an envelope containing four scene cards from the film (No listings for future Cinema Classics, either; just an ad for some older Fox releases like I Robot, Man on Fire, Never Die Alone, etc...)

But as soon as Janet creates her make-believe Romeo, a real suitor arrives, whisks Janet off to Paris, wines and dines her...and comes face-to-face with an insanely irate Mike!

Thumbs up on SE for Day the Earth Stood Still. Even though the current release isn't too shabby (if I recall) I love this movie so much I'll happily upgrade. Here's to hoping they use the original poster art.
