Casper's Hitchcock class was great. I did not have time to take it, but my girlfriend at the time did and I would help her out with her papers. They were actually fun to write!

Any further news on this?

Good question. Titles seem to have a habit of disappearing from Fox's radar for long periods of time (Laura, Grapes of Wrath, Hush...Hush...Sweet Charlotte) ,so it's anybody's guess when this will finally come out.

got way to excited when i saw this thread again....would love to have this as well as a warner set with some of the remaining silents...Champagne was supposed to air on turner last year, but they ended up running the farmers wife...apperantly no soundtrack had been found...soo turner was going to record a new one........wish they would lump a few unreleased films into a set like Chaney and Keaton.....

more news wanted....this is the last of the talkies i do not own.

Ive actually been looking for a movie similar to this called The Last Survivors starring Tom Bosely and Martin Sheen. I saw it on TV about 10 years ago and cannot find it anywhere. Anyone know where i can get a copy? I know its not on DVD or VHS. Maybe a boot?

No movie starring Tom Bosley is going to be similar to Hitchcock's "Lifeboat."

That said, discussing bootlegs and where to get them isn't allowed here.

I have no personal experience, but I must say, from the Gangsters collection documentaries, the guy is downright creepy.
And what was his political agenda that you speak of?

If the movie has never been released on DVD or VHS i dont think it can be a bootleg...and Ive seen both the movies, they are similar.

king kong, song of the south, monster squad, kiss meets the phantom of the park...all have never been on dvd, but bootlegs are everywhere....

bootleg means someone who has no right to the film is producing it and making a profit.

so while searching for Hitchcock links....i thought i would bring this up again....where is it, summer releases are getting announced and nothing.

For future reference, (a) it still is a bootleg if it's a non-public domain title being distributed without permission/compensation for the copyright holder, and (b) if you don't think it's a bootleg, you shouldn't ask specifically if anybody knows where to get a "boot". That's generally considered to be another word for "bootleg". In fact, I'm not actually sure how else you might have meant it.

Good question. Of course this is a Fox title and classic titles come and go (mostly go) from their schedule all the time. This is the only American Hitch feature film I don't have on DVD and I'd like to rectify that.

same

Sorry to bump an old thread, I searched and this was the most recent one dealing with Lifeboat.

I haven't seen this mentioned yet, but DVDAF has the movie listed as an Oct. 18th release. Anyone heard anything about this? Did I completely miss the announcement?

Thought others would like to know too if it is "new" news.

Thanks.

I'd like to know. Can anyone confirm this is finally coming?

DVD Planet has Lifeboat (Special Edition) listed on their upcoming DVD release list.

Can't wait for this release! This along with Vertigo (OOP Orange cover) will complete my Hitchcock Collection!

10.18.05

hope that sticks

Great news!

Great! Same month as the Hitch Masterpiece Collection! 15 Hitchcock discs in one month!

Now if we can only ger re-releases of Spellbound, Notorious and Rebecca I'll have all the Hitch I want.

In terms of Hitchcock releases, what about "Saboteur"? Is that available?

Yes, Universal. Excellent film.

only thing left unreleased at this point will be some tv movies and silent films

Yes. Actually, with Lifeboat coming out, everything is now available (save for really obscure, early stuff).
