Upcoming Noir DVDs

[Harry Fabian]

I had pre-ordered the Columbia Film Noir Classics III (DVD) last week through the TCM shop website. Now it says Backorder, just wanted to give a heads up for anyone else. I guess I didn't pre-order far enough back?

I ordered this last night. I wasn't too worried about the "backordered" since its release date wasn't until today. If the site says backordered today, I am more concerned. Hoping the site is just slow in updating and they will be shipping out very soon.

TCM's web site now says that Columbia Film Noir Classics III will ship on January 25:

You'd think with the long lead time between when it was announced and when they were planning to ship it, they would have enough units to make their own deadline. Maybe they were just overwhelmed with orders and couldn't fill all of them (fingers crossed, right?).

I have no idea how long it takes to manufacture pressed dvd's, but I am wondering if TCM did not even bother to send the order in to the manufacturer until the release date-in an effort to not overproduce more discs than they anticipate selling?

Warner Archive actually put out four Bogie films today:

You Can't Get Away with Murder (1939)
It All Came True (1940)
Conflict (1945) -- I'm surprised that this one didn't get a mass-market release.
Chain Lightning (1949)

I'd much rather they discount THIS order 20%. "Sorry for the inconvenience, please buy more stuff from us"?! I don't think so.

If anyone tries this and finds out that it works, please post and let us know. I thought of doing the same thing, because I'm definitely never buying anything through their site again.

Orrrrr maybe we should support companies who a) release classic noir on DVD, and b) do so on pressed DVDs instead of screwing them out of there profits which won't be huge from such a release. Sure Ted Turner can afford it, but no profit= no new noir dvds.
