Already have the old Lady Vanishes and the new one doesn't look impressive enough to double dip.

That will probably get under $57 during the DVDPlanet 20% off sale.

and
The Browning Version

However, as noted above, generally if it has a commentary, it will be an upper price tier release.

Just noticed that Crook's Tour is included on Lady Vanishes; this makes it worth a rental for me now. I wouldn't buy it, personally, because this is one of the only Hitchcock films I dislike, but it's a nice looking upgrade.

I almost bought the previous Criterion release last weekend. I might have to wait out for this new release.

Criterion provided this reply the other day:
"We would like to rerelease High & Low at some point, but there’s nothing on the schedule at this time. Thanks for your email!"

Although Berlin Alexanderplatz more than makes up for it.

Looking forward to Berlin Alexanderplatz. I was renting them one by one on VHS from Cinefile here in LA, but then they sold the whole set to some musician before I could finish.
And The Lady Vanishes, while exciting, seems like a somewhat random title to revisit...

Fassbinder will be bought. Bergman...I hope some of his titles, Tinsel included, start coming out on Blu-Ray through Tartan. The rest I am not interested in.

the one director that seems to get little to nothing released stateside or even in the UK for that matter is Peter Greenaway - I really really wish Criterion could a) either release his films via their main library or b) through the eclipse series...

I'd buy 'The Lady Vanishes' just for this extra
Crook's Tour, a 1941 feature-length Charters and Caldicott adventure, available for the first time on home video, with Basil Radford and Naunton Wayne reprising their beloved The Lady Vanishes roles
