Now if they can get started on that SE for The Big Sleep.

I'm all over this 3disc falcon release, glad I held out. It has been a while, but should be very well worth the wait.

Guess I haven't been paying attention, because I didn't know this set was coming out.
I'll probably get that whole box. All 4 of those movies are due for a keepcase conversion.

An FYI for Columbia House members-you can now preorder this set for $22.46. There are a few Buy 1, Get 1 FREE codes[such as 807748] working right now, so you can snag this set with another movie for under $30.

I was gonna post the cover art too, but my server is f'd up right now so I can't post it.Anyway, good advice as you'll also notice that this is a specially priced item and will probably never be available for enrollment. So the cheapest way to get this would be to get it before 10/3 as a pre-order.
Can't wait to get this myself. I'm going to wait another month or two before I order this though.

I just wish they would give this the 9k Lowery SE treatment.
Love this film.

Cool, just now seeing this news. Definitely looking forward to the 3 disc set on this. Also looking forward to Across the Pacific, that was a fun movie.
Passage to Marseille on the other hand, ugh. I think at one point in the movie, you are in a flashback, within a flashback, within a flashback, within a flashback. Started to get a bit silly after a while.

Do I have to have joined under CH.com to get this?

Thanks Patrick.
I'm not sure I'm crazy about them showing the Falcon on the front cover. Kind of a spoiler IMO

My problems with the cover isn't because it's a spoiler (I mean, a spoiler for a movie this old? C'mon). My problem with it is that it's not an original movie poster like most of WB's classic movie dvd releases are.

But this cover is okay, if simplistic and a little spoilerish. Still can't wait!

So having a large picture on the cover kinda takes away a little from the enjoyment (at least for those who have never seen it).
Still, incredibly excited for this release; and I really shouldn't be complaining about somehting so minor on a release this great anyway.
