Assault on a Queen, not seen that film for many years. Looking forward to seeing it again.
Never saw it but have been intrigued ever since I heard a recording of a Rod Serling lecture from the early '70s in which he bashed himself for the script, calling it terrible. He referenced a really cheesy line of dialogue that he wished he hadn't written. I can't remember the words, but I'll know them when I hear them again!

I'm looking forward to Come Blow Your Horn (1963) and Who's Got The Action? (1962). I just hope they release them on regular DVD along with Blu Ray.

Well, maybe I'm the only one around, but Who's Minding the Store is a comedy classic to me that I grew up with and I'm very excited for its release. To finally see the typewriter scene again, and to finally see the film widescreen...it's truly a comedy grail for me and I couldn't be happier. I think I must be one of the few people alive who still loves the comedy of Jerry Lewis. Should I be quarantined?

In July, Olive Films will bring Invasion of the Body Snatchers to Blu-ray. One of the most influential science-fiction films ever made, director Don Siegel's beloved 1956 adaptation of the Jack Finney novel The Body Snatchers stars Kevin McCarthy (Piranha) as Miles Bennell, a doctor investigating some strange hysteria-related cases in the small town of Santa Mira, California.
During his research, Bennell makes a shocking discovery: that a strange alien species has invaded Santa Mira, a species capable of infecting the town's residents as they sleep and replacing them with unemotional physical doppelgängers. As the epidemic spreads, only Bennell and his ex-girlfriend (Dana Wynter, Airport) stand a chance of escaping the aliens and warning the rest of the world - that is, of course, if they can keep from falling asleep.
Olive's Blu-ray presents Invasion of the Body Snatchers in a 2.00:1 "Superscope" aspect ratio; the distributor has used a new HD transfer, one restored from the original negative.
Supplementary materials are still unknown.
Invasion of the Body Snatchers streets on July 17th.

Olive's Blu-ray presents Invasion of the Body Snatchers in a 2.00:1 "Superscope" aspect ratio; the distributor has used a new HD transfer, one restored from the original negative.
According to film historian Bob Furmanek, INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS was not filmed for Superscope projection, but was reformatted after production so that it could be released in that format. According to Furmanek, the sequence of events was as follows:
July 6, 1953: Allied Artists announces 1.85:1 as their house ratio. All future productions will be filmed for 1.85:1 widescreen but shot open matte to protect for 1.37:1.
March 23, 1955 - THE BODY SNATCHERS begins shooting on location. No mention is made of Superscope in the trades. As a point of reference, other Superscope productions are listed as such by other studios.
April 27, 1955 - End of principal photography.
May 28, 1955 - Superscope is announced for the film.
In conclusion, Don Siegel would have composed the film for the Allied Artists house ratio of 1.85:1. The Superscope release was 2.1:1. The difference in compositions between the two ratios is minimal but should be noted.
