According to this often-reliable source, a box set is due later in 2007:

On the subject of musicals on DVD, I hear Can-Can is coming in May - not one of the greats, perhaps, but it has some great songs and singers!
Also, apparently Where's Charley and Mame are 'in prepa ... |

I noticed it was down, too - good to see it back!
Is Laureate currently producing anything new we could be getting excited about? I loved Daddy Long Legs, but it's time for more!

Yes, I've ordered the Partial one, too. It arrived on Tuesday, in fact, and so far I've watched Roberta and the bonus DVD documentary 'Partners in Rhythm'.
It's perhaps a bit disappointing that (s ... |

| It's a big shame that you're not able to do Royal Wedding any more - it would have been great to get a better print whilst retaining all the great features on the existing release. |

I saw this thoroughly despicable 8 DVD boxset on sale in HMV yesterday for £14.99 - an indication, perhaps, that the public aren't as foolish as Universal might like to think...

Although it's not his best nor perhaps my favourite Astaire album, I always liked the LP of 'Three Evenings with Fred Astaire'.
It's a memento of his TV shows and includes the three medleys he pe ... |

Hi Ken,
I'm all in favour of new transfers, new commentaries and refurbished soundtracks, but according to HMV, all that you mention is on the 2-disc set which is being released at the same time. A ... |

Do you think the TV specials will ever be released on DVD? (Eg An Evening with FA) I don't think they have been so far? I assume they still exist in some form?

I hate to sound miserable, but I wonder why they are spending so much time on this one film - great though it be - when so many films have yet to make it to DVD at all? Or is it just me?
