Excellent news from DVD Times:
Universal Studios Home Video have announced a Region 1 DVD release of Screen Legend Collections for Bing Crosby and also for Cary Grant and Rock Hudson. Arriving on 14th November 2006 priced at $29.98 SRP each these sets bring together five films from the careers of their respective actors spread across three discs (2xDVD9, 1xDVD5).
The Bing Crosby: Screen Legend Collection includes
Waikiki Wedding,
Double or Nothing,
East Side of Heaven,
If I Had My Way and
Here Come the Waves.
All are presented in 1.33:1 Full Frame with English DD2.0 Mono and English SDH and French subtitles.
Extras are TBC but unlikely to stretch beyond trailers.
Apart from Here Come The Waves which I have got on NTSC VHS, the other titles will be firsts for me. I remember watching East Side and Ifi Had My Way years ago on BBC2.
Good things to come then and hopefully more to follow.
Dixie anybody?!!! |

Thanks for this info, Neil. Yes, it's a good time for Bingsters. Although I somehow doubt that we'll see "Dixie" because of the black face routines which are considered politically incorrect these days. Silly I know, but there have been some screenings on TV of "Holiday Inn" where the number "Abraham" has been cut for transmission. Fortunately, it's retained on our Special Edition DVD which, I understand, may be released in the USA before the end of this year.
Actually, I think there are now more Crosby films on DVD than Sinatra movies. This may be remedied when Warner Brothers finally get around to doing a long-awated Sinatra box set.
The Bing film I'd like to see on DVD is "Welcome Stranger" Let's hope the trend continues. |
