Many Garbo silents have been part of the Archive from the very beginning, including:
The Single Standard
Love
Wild Orchids
The Kiss
The Temptress (which, oddly, is also available in the TCM Archives Garbo Silents set.)

Just got an email from the Archive, up for pre-order are the Newly Remastered:

Five Star Final (1931) d. Mervyn LeRoy
Two on a Guillotine (1964) d. William Conrad
Verboten! (1959) d. Samuel Fuller

I'm still yearning for Claudelle Inglish (1961). And I won't stop whinging til I get it.

I also keep hoping they'll release A House is Not a Home (1964) - at least I think it should be WHV with the rights to it. It's an Embassy film, I believe.

Next month Kay Francis is getting her own collection (according to WA's facebook page---and how lame is it that I read their facebook page.)

And they're charging five dollars more for these remastered DVDs too!

But if you pre-order before 6/22 you'll be grandfathered on the price.

As if $20 each wasn't already a rip-off. Hrrmph.

If it's lame, then I'm bedridden. I "fanned" them as soon as they appeared! =)

Up to 55% off Warner Archive collection sale at DD thru 6/30.

Oops, sorry about that. I just checked the New Releases page and didn't realize that three of the titles were pre-orders for the 22nd. It looks as if you can still purchase the pre-order titles, though. Perhaps they will ship on the 22nd.

Lovely to Look At. Tony Duquette at last!
