You'd think that they'd include Ace In The Hole in this collection, wouldn't you? It's the one Billy Wilder movie I haven't seen available on DVD yet, and of course Paramount chooses not to include it.
While I'm in rant mode, what ever happened to the re-release of Double Indemnity? I wish Paramount would hire someone like Warners has (George Feltenstein), to oversee all the back catalogue releases...all those terrific old movies just sitting in the vault, waiting to be restored and released on DVD, and make the studio some more money. Paramount, what are you waiting for? |
So its basically the same box set I already have but with an updated Stalag 17. Bummer.

I think Double Indemnity is a Universal title.

There's been a few moments when I almost picked the old box of this up to compliment the 9-movie Wilder box I have (i think it's 9...?) anyways, this should give me a little push to get it finally. I know there's still a few other titles that havent seen the light of DVD yet though, that as a person too young to have been able to see his releases in theaters, I really hope get some attention some time soon.

Still waiting for Ace in the Hole...
