Rodgers and Hammerstein remasters from fox 11.07.06
 

dvd times is reporting a 03.20.06 release date for three new rogers and hammerstein titles.

The King and I - 2 disc set

Carousel - 2 Disc set with bonus Liliom

South Pacific - 2 Disc setwith extended Roadshow version

The King and I - anamorphic! woohoo

Details?
 

Are there links for details on these? Will The King and I include the songs that have been missing from release prints for years? I'm dying for a a list of features, but Amazon still lists only the current versions.

I wonder when we'll get the boxset as its cheaper to buy them all that way

Looking forward to <i>Carousel</i> and <i>The King and I</i>!

Only an R2 announcement AFAIK - here

Whoa! The inclusion of Fritz Lang's Liliom may actually be the most important part of this announcement. Kino botched their release of this fascinating movie. (It's virtually unwatchable.) So this may be another instance where I pick up a multi-discer simply because of an extra -- much like the original silents on Ben-Hur and Ten Commandments.

-confused- The soon to be released Region 2 "Special Edition DVD" of The King and I is listed as containing three extra songs, but theres no word if these are extras or have been edited into the film. Can anyone confirm what the status of the forthcoming disc is?

We're now 17 days away from the announced release date and still no details on these DVDs? Isn't that strange?

i think its safe to say that they have been delayed

Oh - does that happen often? Is there any way to find out if that's true?

Called up Fox, and they have no record of any upcoming release of these titles in their database. I notice that the DVD Times announcement:

"Fox Home Entertainment have announced the UK Region 2 DVD release of several Rodgers & Hammerstein timeless musicals for 20th March 2006."

...only mentions a UK release. Perhaps there is not a planned U.S. release?

They're all available for pre-order at Amazon UK:

given these are Region 2 only releases - with no offical word from Fox (US) for future Region 1 editions - I am surprised this has remained in the DVDTalk section this long and NOT been moved over to the International DVD Forum section.

crap! of all my boneheaded luck I inadvertantly ordered the sing along versions, merde

Has anyone seen the 2-disc release yet? Are the deleted songs included in the film itself or added seperately, as extras?

Fox lies!
 

Well, just had the double disc edition of "The King and I" shipped to me from the UK and I am furious! It does NOT contain the promised deleted numbers! It has the audio of one only. What a ripoff.

really, and this is from the double disc edition - I was angry (at myself) for inadvertantly purchasing the single disc edition, when they arrived at my doorstep as such. (I returned them back to amazon.co.uk)

.... and nothing about R1, huh? Strange, since the first round of R&H reissues <i>(Oklahoma, State Fair, Sound of Music)</i> appeared as scheduled.

I ordered this because I called Fox last week and was told it was not on their new releases list, which runs through October.

So now I have an R2 copy but still no deleted scenes...argggh!

DVD Empire posted this morning under the "Recent Additions" the following TCF releases on 11/7: CAROUSEL: SE, THE KING AND I: SE, SOUTH PACIFIC: SE, THE RODGERS AND HAMMERSTEIN COLLECTION; THE QUILLER MEMORANDUM; THE ULTIMATE FLINT COLLECTION. No specific details except on Flint, which contains perks and commentaries.
I have good reason to believe (from another thread posted) that MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET: SE and O. HENRY'S FULL HOUSE will be released on 11/21. Hope they include "Meet Kris Kringle" from 20th Century Fox Hour on MIRACLE.

I assume this will be the same edition released in the UK - only one deleted song (no video, only stills), not the 3 originally promised, and "6" featurettes which are really one featurette cut up into 6 sections.

looks like they are also doing a new box set with these titles as well as the last wave

US or UK release? - I am surprised this topic has remained in the 'Region One' DVDTalk forum for this long and hasn't been ported over to the 'Internatinal DVD' forum

Region 1 coming 11.07.06
