The Silver Screen Oasis

If you compile your Christmas list early, take note of some FANTASTIC news on the DVD front:

1. The Budd Boetticher Collection debuts on Nov. 4.



Contents: Comanche Station, Ride Lonesome, The Tall T, Decision at Sundown and Buchanan Rides Alone. All, we presume/hope, in their original aspect ratios.

2. The Gregory Peck Collection debuts from Universal (I'm comin' to join you, 'Lizabeth!) on the same day, Nov. 4. [no link on Amazon.com as yet]

Contents: Mirage (!!!), Cape Fear, Arabesque, The World in His Arms, To Kill a Mockingbird and Captain Newman M.D.

3. And - the best news of all - Fox's Murnau, Borzage, and Fox box set on Dec. 9.



This will reportedly include all three Janet Gaynor silent films for which she won Best Actress in 1927-28 (Street Angel, Seventh Heaven, Sunrise in a special edition) along with City Girl, Lucky Star, Song O' My Heart, Bad Girl, Liliom, Lazy Bones, After Tomorrow, Young America, and They Had to See Paris.

This is great news, I hadn't heard of the Murnau, Borzage and Fox box set! Thank you, srowley75.

Another release to look forward to if you're a silent film fan is Flicker Alley's Douglas Fairbanks set.

They still don't say when it's going to be released, though. I hope it is before Christmas, but who knows.
