I have just heard that 4 Leo McCarey pictures are going to be released on DVD in France (Region 2). The titles are:
Six of a Kind (1934)
Belle of The Nineties (1934)
and more importantly, his two masterpieces (never released before):
Ruggles of Red Gap (1935)
Make Way for Tomorrow (1937)
The release date is for the moment around June, but I'll give you more news as soon as I get them.

Great news! Are they going to be released as a Set or individually?

That is great news. Make Way should have had a U. S. release a long time ago.

SIX OF A KIND was included in a WC Fields boxset and I have that; I missed BELLE OF THE NINETIES (probably bypassing Mae West for some poor reason) and now it appears to be OOP. RUGGLES is also a long-famous comedy and amazingly not out on home-video.

Ruggles is a lovely comedy that many of my movie-loving friends have never seen. Just the thought of Charles Laughton and ZaSu Pitts as a romantic couple in a movie is simply irresistible.
One of my very favorite scenes in moviedom is from Ruggles: the very proper and veddy British Roland Young teaching the really cute, smalltown All-American Leila Hyams how to syncopate on the drums, singing "Pretty Baby."

I've seen both of those movies. Although Tokyo Story borrows aspects of the storyline of Make Way For Tomorrow the films feel like completely different experiences.
