ivw been waiting for this movie for around five years now.

i have a copy of the image release but it's barebones and the video transfer is poor.
when o when?

Do you mind me asking what you paid for it? just curious what the going rate is nowadays, I'm hopefully going to get to dump my copy of the Image release when we get a real release that actually follows through.

40 bucks. Given what it had been going for as recently as a few months ago, I considered this a steal.

FINALLY!!!!

After what seems like an eternity of waiting, Universal will finally give us a two-disc special edition of Double Indemnity (1944) on August 29th. There are no details on content as yet. Let's hope this is a Legacy Series edition and one at least as good as that for To Kill a Mockingbird.

Great news. I won't hold my breath, but if it is actually released and in a good package, I will be a very happy consumer.

sounds awesome if it's true.

now if only Sony/MGM could get off their asses and give us a 2-disc SE of The Apartment and i'd be really happy.

DVD Times are reporting on it as well, so it seems like it's really happening!

Nice. Looking forward to picking this up - as long as it doesn't vanish again.

Great news if it holds. Looking forward to dumping my vhs of this considering I never felt compelled to pay the outrageous price the OOP Image release was going for.

Great news that it's coming as part of the Legacy series. The packaging of those is great!

about time.

Well, I've only been waiting like two years

good timing! Is there a perpetual rain cloud over Shirley too?

Loved the legacy series so far...great choice...can't wait to dive through the extras.

wonder what else they wil release in this wave?

But of course

When I have it in my hand, I'll believe ..... but the news does have me smiling!

Universal Home Video has sent over artwork for the special edition of Double Indemnity which stars Fred MacMurray, Barbara Stanwyck and Edward G. Robinson. This two-disc DVD will be available to own from the 29th August, and should set you back around $26.98 in total. I'm afraid the disc specs have yet to be revealed, but we'll bring you further details shortly.

I am starting to believe this is really happening. I am so excited. I haven't had a version of this movie to watch over and over since my VHS broke.

Geez, is that Barbara Stanwyck or Jack Lemmon in "Some Like It Hot?" Doesn't matter, of course. I'll still get it.

They may not have full disc specs, but we do.

That is great looking artwork! August 29th can't get here fast enough.

Nice extras there, a whole extra film? Only thing I dont like are those enormous universal legacy series cases, looks like it belongs on a bookshelf

I just pre-ordered mine on Amazon. I've wanted a good version of this since my film teacher showed us the first reel of it on film, and then promptly cut it because our class was over! And the print was on loan, so we didn't have another chance to see it. We wasted an hour and a half of the class watching Mildred Pierce, which was some of the most melodramatic dreck I have ever seen. I'll never forgive that teacher for teasing us with just a snippet of one of the best noir films and then snatching it right from under us.

Oh sweet lord I've waited so long for this.

Sold my old one on ebay last week. This new one looks great...but the REMAKE as a bonus feature? Give me a feature length doc over some TV movie remake of a classic film any day.
