This is easily the set of the year for me, well unless the Vidor silents get released. Finally Wellman is getting some DVD love.

Here is a pretty good interview with Bill Wellman, jr., about his father and the movies
in this latest Forbidden Hollywood set. Looks like a book is in the works, too!

The one film 'they missed' was SAFE IN HELL with Dorothy MacKaill, but I'm happy they gave us WILD BOYS and HEROES in there. They could probably do another two full sets of Wellman films before I'd be ready to move on, though.

I pre-ordered this set months ago and I'm Looking forward to receive it!

I also ordered the Universal Pre-Code Collection of Paramounts. Looking forward to watching those films, especially "Hot Saturday" (1932)! I'm a Pre-Code junkie!

The problem with SAFE IN HELL was lack of pre-production materials. The only source for the film was a print in the Library of Congress "that had seen better days," according to former Turner archivist Richard P. May. TCM's broadcast print is a copy of the LoC print.Ollie wrote:The one film 'they missed' was SAFE IN HELL with Dorothy MacKaill, but I'm happy they gave us WILD BOYS and HEROES in there.

CoffeeDan, thanks very much for this comment. I was wondering about it, and am strongly encouraged that at least it's going to be preserved somewhere. (At least my shelf has that decent copy.)
