A few months ago, a post on another board suggested that the great Elia Kazan film "A Face in the Crowd" was due to be released on DVD either in late 2004 or early 2005. I've been patiently waiting for this highly desireable title. Supposedly, it would include a documentary/historical perspective and a few other bells and whistles.

However, I'm not finding any sign of it in any list of upcoming releases. I'm beginning to think the announcement was either premature or a case of somebody's wishes in print form. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks in advance for your reply!

This is probably one of my "10 most wanted" - but unfortunatley I haven't even heard a rumor of any kind. WB has been turning out the catalogue titles at a fairly rapid pace, so I keep hoping.

You and me both, Marty. I've been waiting for this title for a couple of years. So far, the results have been wanting, to say the least. Hopefully, somebody will post something definite before too much longer. BTW, is it certain that WB holds the rights to this classic? Given the choice, I'd like to see Kino or Criterion produce the DVD. That said, I'll be happy enough if Warner's does the honors ... but let's get on it fellas, eh?
