Charade Criterion BACK IN PRINT
 

Good news on the new transfer.

Guess it's time to dump The Truth About Charlie... I still haven't bothered with watching that flick... :lol:

Good news. Too bad I already have Charade Criterion. Maybe I'll upgrade to the anamorphic transfer when I get HDTV.

Guess i might as well ebay my non-anamorphic copy while the gettin's good....I wonder if this will have the same commentary or any other extras added?

Fantastic news! Not only for me, a current owner (who will gladly upgrade for an anamorphic transfer)... but for people who don't own this yet (the Criterion supplements are fantastic...)

Very good news to me since I missed out on it the first time around. This time I am picking it up. Also, nice to know it has a better transfer cause now I don't feel so bad about not being able to get it before :)

Finally!

Aww, now I feel less special with my copy :\ Not really, that's great news for the fans that didn't get it the first time around. Thanks for posting the news!

Awesome!

Excellent, my friend will be very happy to hear this.

My favorite film. I have the current Criterion, but will probably upgrade for the new transfer.

Has it really been 3 years since this movie went OOP? It feels more like a year and a half, tops. Maybe time is just flying by for me. Hmm. I'm not sure if I've seen this movie (I think I may have), but I like Hitchcock, so maybe I'll give it a rent and if I like it, I'll pick up the new Criterion edition when it's released. Does Audrey Heburn play a blind woman in it? Is Audrey Heburn even in it? Am I confusing this with something else?

Audrey Hepburn does NOT play a blind woman in this, you're thinking of Wait Until Dark (another excellent film).

Yes she's in Charade.

Hitchcock didn't direct Charade--Stanley Donen did.

Charade is called by some the best Hitchcock movie Hitchcock never directed, or something like that.

Thats good news for those that haven't gotten this yet, I may get the new transfer.

I'm kinda peeved. I really loved this movie, but I don't I can re-buy it.

Figures. I just ordered this used from a seller on Amazon last Sunday. He's already shipped it out. I'll probably just give it to my brother. I definitely want the new version with the better transfer.

Suddenly ebay is swamped with new listings for the OOP disc today...

Actually that designation goes to Clouzot's Diabolique.

According to allmovie.com:

"The greatest film that Alfred Hitchcock never made..."

Actually, "the greatest Hitchcock movie Hitchcock never directed" is a direct tagline from Charade....

And someone was kind enough to take mine off my hands 2 hours after listing it today on ebay :D

how much did it go for?

I low-balled just to be sure it would sell...I got $35 for it which will pay for the new one ( and is $7 more than i paid for it)....fair enough as far as i'm concerned. I imagine ebay will be flooded with them a la scarface once the news gets out.

Since I don't have a WS or HDTV, no reason for me to upgrade, but this is good news for everyone who didn't get it before.

Hopefully, someday, more of the OOP Criterions I missed come back in print.

Samsonite! I was way off!

I may have to pick this release up.
