Dear Mark Fisk,

Thanks for getting in touch. If this first set of Astaire & Rogers sells as well as we hope, then there is every chance we'll be doing a second box maybe next year. If so, then it will certainly include "Swing Time" as well as
"Flying Down To Rio," "The Gay Divorcee" and " The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle."

As for the Gable-Harlow films, these are MGM titles owned by Ted Turner who is today associated with Warner Brothers. I can only suggest that you make enquiries to Warner Home Video.

Regards
Ken Barnes

Mr. Barnes, thank you for your efforts in releasing the Astaire films that available to DVD. I am looking forward to the 4 films with Rogers due out next month, as well as any of the future films you mentioned. I'd certainly put my money down. I have been enjoying Holiday Inn, Royal Wedding, and Second Chorus because of the beautiful prints, the additional commentary by yourself and Mrs. McKenzie, and of course the genius behind the movies, Astaire himself. I have been waiting for the Astaire films to come out on DVD as I'm sure many others have, and up until the Laureate collections, an Astaire DVD has only come about as part of another entertainer's collection (Audrey Hepburn, Cole Porter, etc.) Thanks again. Ryan
