Plus j'en apprends sur Murphy et ses films et moins je comprends cette annonce
Comme d'autre l'ont remarqué ailleurs difficile d'imagine 6000 copies trouver preneur, mais c'est justement ça qui me plait

[Stromboli]

C'est un délire anglais, même après 100 ans d'alliance y'a des différences culturelles qu'on ne maitrisera jamais, et ça va être un des plus beaux et complets coffrets de l'année en plus...

The Big Gundown / Colorado :

Spoiler (cliquez pour afficher)

(Sergio Sollima, 1966)
Release date: 5 December 2022
Limited Edition Blu-ray (UK premiere)

Released the same year as Sergio Leone’s The Good, the Bad and the Ugly and Sergio Corbucci’s Django, The Big Gundown (La resa di conti) is a classic spaghetti western. Directed by the great Sergio Sollima (Face to Face, Violent City) this brutal film elevated western regular Lee Van Cleef (Ride Lonesome) to his first ever starring role.

When bounty hunter Jonathan Corbett (Van Cleef) is hired to track down a Mexican peasant (Tomas Milian, in a career-defining role) who has been accused of an appalling crime, he is initially outwitted by the wily bandit. However, the relationship between the two men soon takes an unexpected turn and they team up to take on railroad baron Brockton (Walter Barnes).

With its rousing score by legendary composer Ennio Morricone, and its politically charged screenplay by Sergio Donati (Once Upon a Time in the West) and Franco Solinas (The Battle of Algiers), The Big Gundown has earned its reputation as one of the greatest and most influential Italian westerns.

This individually numbered Limited Edition includes three versions of the film – the US theatrical cut, the extended US cut, and the original 110-minute Italian version – along with a fascinating selection of new and archival extra features, a poster, and an 80-page book.

Remember the Night / L'Aventure d'une Nuit :

Spoiler (cliquez pour afficher)

(Mitchell Leisen, 1940)
Release date: 5 December 2022
Limited Edition Blu-ray (UK premiere)

With its sparkling screenplay by Preston Sturges (The Great McGinty, The Palm Beach Story), this much-loved romantic comedy paired screen legends Barbara Stanwyck (The Lady Eve, Forty Guns) and Fred MacMurray (Double Indemnity, The Absent-Minded Professor) for the very first time.

Stanwyck plays Lee Leander, a shoplifter who faces a lonely Christmas in prison, while MacMurray is the strait-laced New York District Attorney who takes pity on her and organises her release on bail. After he offers to drive her to visit her family, a trouble-filled road-trip ensues and an unlikely romance blossoms.

Directed by Mitchell Leisen (Easy Living, Hold Back the Dawn), and featuring acting support from Beulah Bondi (It’s a Wonderful Life) and Elizabeth Patterson (The Cat and the Canary), Remember the Night is an all-time classic comedy from Hollywood's golden age. This individually numbered Limited Edition includes a fascinating selection of new and archival extra features, a poster, and an 80-page book.

Coffret ENTER SANTO: THE FIRST ADVENTURES OF THE SILVER-MASKED MAN

Spoiler (cliquez pour afficher)

SANTO VS. EVIL BRAIN (Joselito Rodríguez, 1961)
SANTO VS. INFERNAL MEN (Joselito Rodríguez, 1961)

Release date: 5 December 2022
Limited Edition Blu-ray (World Blu-ray premieres)

Immediately recognisable by his distinctive silver mask, the heroic wrestler known as El Santo (‘The Saint’) was Mexico’s most popular luchador, becoming a folk hero and the star of a hugely popular series of action films. Enter Santo: The First Adventures of the Silver-Masked Man presents the two earliest cinematic excursions of this icon of Mexican popular culture.

In Santo vs. Evil Brain (Santo contra cerebro del mal), the dastardly Doctor Campos is kidnapping and brainwashing scientists. When undercover detective Santo falls prey to Campos’ scheme, Lieutenant Zambrano (Enrique Zambrano) and El Incognito (Fernando Osés) must come to his assistance to foil Campos’ plans. Meanwhile, in the same year’s Santo vs. Infernal Men (Santo contra hombres infernales), the trio of Santo, El Incognito, and Zambrano team up once again to fight a band of drug smugglers.

Shot in Cuba in the final days before Fidel Castro entered Havana, these two films represent the celluloid birth of a true screen legend, and spawned a further fifty Santo films. Beautifully restored in 4K from the original negatives, these thrilling films finally receive their world Blu-ray premieres in this individually numbered Limited Edition two-disc set, complete with new and archival extra features, including a feature-length documentary, a poster, and an 80-page book.

Je prends Colorado, les deux autres j'hésite

[Rick Blaine]

Colorado existe dans une bonne édition française pour rappel : https://www.dvdclassik.com/test/blu-ray ... -wild-side

[higa]

Tout à fait, j'ai failli préciser dans mon message que j'hésitais entre les deux mais la balance penche trop fortement en faveur de Powerhouse en ce qui concerne les suppléments (même si j'aime bien les bouquins Wild Side)

[Flol]

Je serais presque tenté par le double programme Santo...

[Hart]

Koch Media a édité il y a déjà quelques années un beau digipack de Colorado avec le blu ray , le dvd , d’intéressants bonus ET la b.o. de Morricone.
Pistes et sous-titres en italien , allemand et anglais.
Cette nouvelle édition de Powerhouse fait du film de Sollima l’un des westerns italiens les mieux célébrés en vidéo.
Tant mieux , c'est largement mérité.

Une rumeur circule sur criterionforum.org à propos de l'annonce en janvier prochain d'un coffret 4K UHD consacré à Jean Rollin... L'indice de leur newsletter semble le confirmer :

(...) L'indice de leur newsletter semble le confirmer :

Ah oui en effet !

J'espère que ce sera un combo, avec la nouvelle restauration sur le BD.

[Flol]

Ayé ? Leurs soldes ont commencé ?

[Mosin-Nagant]

Pas encore mais ça ne saurait tarder. Fin de semaine, je présume...

[Joshua Baskin]

Ils ont communiqué sur le jour exact dans leur newsletter je crois. Je n'ai plus la date en tête mais c'est sous 10 jours max.

[Arn]

Je pense et espère y trouver le coffret Hammer 6. Pour le reste, je vais essayer d'être sage.
