Re: The Official Alfred Hitchcock on Blu-ray Thread
I watched Rebecca last night and it looked absolutely gorgeous - so pleased MGM is doing these right. Fontaine (who is still with us) was always wonderful playing shy, sweet types, though it was fun to see her as a manipulative bitch in Nicholas Ray's Born to Be Bad, which I believe still doesn't have a R1 release.

Great to hear Strangers on a Train is definitely happening. One of my absolute favorite Hitchcocks. Bring on the US release date!

After a relative drought of Hitchcock films on Blu-ray, it looks like 2012 is going to be his year. Can't wait to pick up all of these.

The 2012 release list posted on the Criterion Forum, which has been 100% correct so far, has this for 9/4:
Blu-ray Alfred Hitchcock set (9/4): Not certain, but thinking this will contain The Birds, Psycho, and Vertigo

If Universal is mulling a potential second box contingent on strong sales for the first, you'd think they'd save their other top Hitchcock, Rear Window, to be its headliner, along with possibly Shadow of a Doubt and The Man Who Knew Too Much.

The Lifeboat steelbook is up for pre-order from Eureka - at £16.99 the cost is £2 more than Amazon's (after VAT has been removed from the latter), but shipping is free and they'll ship it roughly two weeks before release date.

To Catch a Thief has dropped to $12.99 on Amazon. I was going to wait until it showed up in my GB, but I may pull the trigger at that price point.

Got a copy in the mail today, watched the new special features (which were interesting) and checked out a couple of scenes. It looks absolutely terrific.

That right, it was ITV. Thanks for the clarification. I almost imported it but was quickly scared away by the reviews I read.
