Mine's in the mail. Wish it was here already!

Twilight Time will be releasing a Blu-ray of Two Rode Together in 2014. I'd sure love to see a Blu-ray of The Long Gray Line too.

UPDATE: Oh, er, it arrived a couple of days ago! But I have been knocked down by a truly nasty cold this past week and didn't notice it there in the mail. Hopefully I'll get time to investigate it this weekend.

THE QUIET MAN (1952) has been included in the Library of Congress' 2013 National Film Registry. John Ford now has nine titles on the list, more than any other director.

Thank you, CinemAVA.

Where's the photo? All I see is Liberty Valance holding up the Shinbone Star. Guess they needed a good proofreader...
