Re: The Maltese Falcon & Treasure of the Sierra Madre: 10/5/10
In my initial post, I stated that there was no news on any new extras.
On Robin Hood, the Warner Night at the Movies featurette and the two cartoons were in HD, and on Gigi and An American In Paris the documentaries were in HD, so that will hopefully be the case with these two releases.
Either way, are the extras on those discs you mentioned in HD?

I held off getting the 3 disc Falcon set, so I hope everything makes it over. I would be very interested in that. Falcon is one of my favorites.

In for The Maltese Falcon whenever it falls within my price range. Was never a big fan of "Sierra Madre", though. While the cast (especially Bogie) did an excellent job, I didn't like how the film ended. Still, if it gets cheap, I'll probably pick it up.

I love Maltese Falcon, and ToSM is one of my favorite movies of all time.
The DVDs certainly have much superior art, but maybe they didn't want to confuse people:

but
EDIT: Obviously Music Man is a slightly different case because it hadn't been reissued on SD with original poster art like the other two.

I was looking at the original poster art for The Maltese Falcon..I admit...they're not exactly great pieces. They're ok....
This is the better looking one but I REALLY get annoy w/ how Bogart's lips look...it's weird

This reminds me of the Brando DVD box set when Mutiny On The Bounty was later released on HD DVD.

Go figure. Right now, Amazon has the Maltese Falcon for $17.49 but The Treasure of Sierra Madre is $18.99. I would thank you'd charge the higher price for the Falcon.

Blu-ray.com review of The Maltese Falcon
According to the reviewer, the image quality, while quite good, is a notch below some of WB's other restoration jobs.

I'm very disappointed in the degradation of the artwork. While the earlier versions were digipacks, they were quite thoughtfully done, and a pleasure to handle, especially when compared to the slapdash covers of the Blu-rays.
While PQ and AQ are definitely more important to me than artwork, I may hold out until I can get these for $10 on account of the poor presentations.

I like both films alot, but prefer Treasure.... So I'm glad it appears to have gotten the better transfer. It's $17.49 on Amazon. I think I'll go ahead and preorder now. It doesn't look like Best Buy will be carrying either of these films in store.

I really wish they'd include the other versions of Maltese Falcon on the BD. Granted...the Bogie one is the better one...but it's great to see how the others failed (THOUGH some aspects ARE enjoyable in them). Alas...
