Mine's in the mail. Wish it was here already!

Twilight Time will be releasing a Blu-ray of Two Rode Together in 2014. I'd sure love to see a Blu-ray of The Long Gray Line too.

UPDATE: Oh, er, it arrived a couple of days ago! But I have been knocked down by a truly nasty cold this past week and didn't notice it there in the mail. Hopefully I'll get time to investigate it this weekend.

Where's the photo? All I see is Liberty Valance holding up the Shinbone Star. Guess they needed a good proofreader... :D
