AMAZING release!!!!!!!
If this doesn't sell out in 15 minutes, I'll be hornswoggled!
ORDERED it INSTANTLY!!!!!
P.S.: Dear Bruce:
I finally got around to hearing your superb PROMISES PROMISES recording.
Unbelievable! I felt like I was back in the Shubert, seeing it for the second time.
(The first time was the Boston tryout, back when Ken Howard was still in it; he left to do 1776.)
That characteristic 60's brass sound was great!
Thanks.
And MULTIPLE MANY THANK YOU'S for ONE EYED JACKS!!!!!!

In all our years, I don't know that I've ever actually heard of anyone receiving a creased booklet. Go know.
Oh, almost every single one has a crease of some kind through the booklet. The Stu Phillips is one of the rare exceptions.
Odd...I've bought half a dozen or so direct from Bruce and have never received a damaged item yet. You have poor luck sir.
Just bought it as well! WOOHOOO!!!!!
I've bought most of their releases too, and have never had a creased one, and if I had gotten one it sure wouldn't bother me at all!

A sincere Thank You to Bruce, and all at Kritzerland for releasing One Eyed Jacks...my Holy Grail! I am looking forward so much to hearing this and to reading the essay and notes by Nick Redman. This is a great day in this collectors life and for all the other lovers of this great score, they don't come much better than this! Thanks to you all once again!
Given your avatar I knew you'd be pleased 
Bruce, I am extremely "pleased" you have my deep gratitude and heartfelt thanks! You have now released my top two 'most wanted' items, One Eyed Jacks and Love With The Proper Stranger. Thank heavens for you, Nick, Lukas, Doug, Ford, Ray, William, John and Anna, and all the other folks at the great labels, including our beloved Italian, Spanish, and Euro friends, who deliver the goods week in week out, you have enriched all our lives and that's the truth, as I see it anyway! I've been fascinated by this film and music ever since I first watched it in 1961, the old Liberty LP is one of my prized possessions, God, I must have listened to that thousands of times over the years! Film Music collecting days don't come much better than this!

This might be the wrong topic for an FSM thread, let me know:
Suppose I want to see OEJ on DVD. What's the best release currently available?
I have an all-region player, so if there's a better release in a different region . . . what would it be?

I just noticed that Screen Archives added one of those tabs on their main page for Kritzerland. About time - very cool!
They probably didn't do it earlier because Kritzerland titles always sold/sell out so fast there wasn't much left to put in that tab!
I'm going to go on record predicting this as one of Kritzerland's fastest sell-outs ever, and the fastest Friedhofer sell-out ever too (though most of the Intrada Friedhofer releases of the past couple years have gone pretty fast, probably because thanks to Nick Redman and the labels so many more people are exposed to Friedhofer's music!)

P.S. Bruce, your comment about the alternate main title in your notes is NOT COOL to put online when you don't also provide a sound sample of the track in question, man!

As far as I know they're all public domain, usually made from some 1" video tape borrowed from a TV station. Please Paramount sort it all out & release a stunning Blu-ray.
From your mouth to the DVD gods' ears! But why not ask Criterion instead? I'm sure they'd do an even better job than Paramount as regards a restoration, and they do a lot of PD films that nobody else bothers to lavish time and effort upon.
Look at another one-time directorial masterpiece that The Digital Bits just finally announced: Charles Laughton's amazing Night of the Hunter. Now thanks to Criterion we're getting in in the original aspect ratio at last, with a whole ton of bonus features and yes they ARE doing a Blu-ray version!
