They seem to have cut back on the extras with the August releases (no commentaries, no Biography episodes, ...). I wonder if this is being done to save money. Oh, well, as long as the transfers are done properly, I won't complain.

Reviews indicate commentaries have been included on 2 of the releases in the latest wave:
"Man in the Grey Flannel Suit" extras:
commentary by author James Monaco
Movietone Newsreel - 1956 Premiere
Still Gallery
Restoration Comparison
Movie Trailer
"Hush... Hush, Sweet Charlotte" extras:
commentary by DVD Savant Glenn Erickson
teaser and theatrical trailers
TV spots
"In Old Chicago" extras:
Roadshow (111 minutes) version
Theatrical (95 minutes) version
A&E Biography - Don Ameche (44 min)

Nice to see that for the most part, Fox is continuing to offer commentaries. I will still be getting "In Old Chicago."

What is the status on A Tree Grows in Brooklyn?
I'm asking this for my older brother since he loved this movie. Cameron's big August list show that is suppose to come out on August 9, but Amazon does not show that coming out on that date. So what the deal then? My brother really what this badly.

C'mon Fox, are you kidding me? How about some Frank Borzage? Some John Ford? Some Frank Tashlin? You know, some actual classics?

I love Charlotte as much as anyone, but it's not a "classic" in the sense most people would define it.

I am glad to see Fox releasing some of its classic musicals - and though "Orchestra Wives" was not high on my list - one of the extras is a commentary by two surviving cast members. Rare these days for anything made before 1950, and enough of an incentive that I may pick it up.
Now if they would only release a Sonja Henie musical!

It doesn't look like the Fox Studio Classics has been replaced by the Fox Cinema Classics Collection after all.
Being released July 11 2006 as part of the Studio Classics line are:
The Black Swan
The Keys of the Kingdom
The River’s Edge

Davisdvd.com seems to have mistaken in the labeling of this releases. According to DVDEmpire and DVDTimes.co.uk, these DVDs are part of the Fox Cinema Classics collection, no the Studio Classics.

So, what's the difference between a Studio Classic and a Cinema Classic? I thought they just re-branded until they released 3 more Studio Classics earlier this year.
