of course its not anamorphic. doh!

i think one of those docs is on the uk set. but it looks much better than the old one. i sold my criterion for about 15 quid.

Re: Criterion The Third Man OOP???
 

Criterion have confirmed tonight on their Facebook page that both the SD and BD versions of The Third Man have gone OOP; looks like they've lost the rights.

Re: Criterion The Third Man OOP???
 

Woah, thanks for the heads up. Just ordered the remaster. I wasn't in much of a rush since I had the original but this news motivated me.

Re: Criterion The Third Man OOP???
 

Ooh, thanks for the heads up. I've got the standard edition of the 2-Disc, but I was planning on upgrading the Blu-Ray. I'll order it right away...

Re: Criterion The Third Man OOP???
 

I was planning to purchase this for some time already. Now's the time.

Re: Criterion The Third Man OOP???
 

I guess I'll be picking up that BD sooner, rather than later.

Re: Criterion The Third Man OOP???
 

OMG....Buying the BD NOW!!!

Re: Criterion The Third Man OOP???
 

Glad to have picked up the BD version during the Barnes and Noble Criterion sale this past summer... man, I loved that sale.

Re: Criterion The Third Man OOP???
 

Was on the fence, since I have the original Criterion and haven't watched it in a while, but it is a great film so I bit the bullet. Just wished I'd taken advantage of the sale when this was $15.99 at Amazon.

Re: Criterion The Third Man OOP???
 

Thanks for the heads up on this one. Grabbed my copy via Amazon about 10 mins ago.

Might have to start jumping on the other Criterions so I don't miss out.

Re: Criterion The Third Man OOP???
 

If any Criterions are likely to go out of print in the near future, it would be the other Studio Canal titles.

Re: Criterion The Third Man OOP???
 

I don´t like the "windowboxing" on the re-issue so the 1999 CC is still the best in my book.

Re: Criterion The Third Man OOP???
 

What titles would those be?

Re: Criterion The Third Man OOP???
 

Any chance another studio will re-release this to DVD, similar to how "Rebecca", "Notorious" and "Spellbound" became part of MGM's Premier Collection last Fall?

Re: Criterion The Third Man OOP???
 

I'll try to pick up a copy of this in the very near future.

Re: Criterion The Third Man OOP???
 

Me too.

Re: Criterion The Third Man OOP???
 

It will very likely be re-released in conjunction with the announced remake.

Re: Criterion The Third Man OOP???
 

No

Re: Criterion The Third Man OOP???
 

There are still plenty of copies to be found online at the moment, I just ordered the Blu-ray from Barnes and Noble Online. I'd been holding out for the plastic case replacement program to be resolved but it appears that will not be the case. It is going out of print due to licensing, not because of the the Blu-ray package change to the hardcase that was in the works as some have speculated...which wouldn't account for the DVD going out of print regardless.

Buy it now before it's only available second hand for exorbitant prices.

Re: Criterion The Third Man OOP???
 

Thanks for the headsup. Just picked up my copy @ amazon :)

Re: Criterion The Third Man OOP???
 

Damn, I just got mine today thanks to Amazon. Great Blu.

Re: Criterion The Third Man OOP???
 

clear keepcase or cardboard?

Re: Criterion The Third Man OOP???
 

Clear Keepcase. Again..it's a damn fine package. What was all the talk about the cardboard..someone brought it up that CC was doing a replacement for the case or something...

Re: Criterion The Third Man OOP???
 

originally it came in a cardboard digipak
