B & W classics from WB in the works
From Home Media Magazine:
...Next, Warner hopes to bring some of the Marx Brothers black-and-white comedies to Blu-ray, as well as films starring Errol Flynn, Betty Davis and Humphrey Bogart. Look for the 1941 The Maltese Falcon on Blu-ray from Warner in 2010, Feltenstein said.

Would love some more inexpensive B&W classics on the format. Although, I may rent and hold out for the eventual sets to come a year or two later.

While I would give my right nut for Kane in 1080p, I feel that some of the grittier noirs actually benefit from the lower resolution and blurriness or SDdvd.

SD almost never captures the exactness of contrast of B&W photography. In fact, I'd say the lack of color is when the distinctions between SD and HD are at the most obvious.

A Night in Casablanca is available now to stream in HD on Netflix and looks quite nice. Wouldn't mind rebuying all the Warner catalog on Blu-ray.
