Wish Fox would add Radio Shows as a Bonus Feature like Warners do.
Laura was done on the Lux Radio Theatre.
Call Northside 77 was done on Screen Director's Playhouse.

FYI, just got the first three and this "collection" is numbered on the spine at the top. Laura is '01', Call Northside 777 is '02', and Panic in the Streets is '03'.
So if you don't want holes in your collection, you have to buy them all.

actually...Fox has never said they were pulling the title...initially Laura was going to be a Fox Studio Classics title...they moved it over to the film noir line....but they never pulled house of bamboo. Amazon still list it for that day...so does dvdaff...so does dvdsoon...
I thought it was the bits who had reported that it would still be coming the same day as the others, but I can't find the link. Anyone provide a link for this, or news of a cancelation? I'll change the OP when i get some info

But, THE LODGER!!!!
Can't wait for that one.* * *
CANADIANS NOTE: There are also rumblings in that thread that Laura will not be available in Canada due to certain rights issues. Amazon.ca has not placed it up. My local store still has it for pre-order though so we will have to see.
The Classic Comedies Collection, sadly, seems to not have a Canadian release due to similar rights issues on a film in the set. Let's hope that all this is resolved and us canucks can share in these great classics.

I don't care, I already have all 3. Interesting that Fox would send Canadian sites review copies of Laura anyway.
And about House of Bamboo, well I've been saying it would be in the 2nd wave for weeks.

Too bad about Bamboo... that title is going to hold up my DVDEmpire order for months.
Oh well, plenty to watch... I'll probably make it 2 months without those titles.
