I'll put my hopes on it being Gold Diggers of 1933, but now we're speculating about a like of a Mitzi Gaynor tweet!

Come on Criterion, you've been too tight-lipped with hint dropping lately (where's a good 'ole restoration desk hint?).

It wasn't a like, it was a retweet. They don't usually retweet things that have nothing to do with their roster, hence why so many of us are taking this as clue for a future release

Well, if I had a dollar for every time there's been a Written on the Wind Criterion social media post + person then expecting it in the next month's announcements, despite this pattern having gone on for about 5+ years.... :P

The issue with speculating lately - is that the old way of Criterion posting clues (except the newsletter /new years clues) are mostly all gone. Being added to Filmstruck doesn't mean much of anything anymore; the celebrity picture is usually just a closet pick (which hasn't added up to much in nearly all of them); and there's been no restoration-station or other hints for quite awhile (the # of bonus feature behind the scenes images have dropped off as well). This is probably why a greater percentage of the monthly announcements end up being surprises. Its only when somebody involved with a project accidentally spills the beans do we get any definitive clues; but if Criterion has moved to the Social Media speculation business, than all for the best - but I'd like to see some of them come true (Written on the Wind).

I mean, compared to the Gorin set, Written on the Wind might as well be a recent title from IFC

Criterion retweeted Mitzi Gaynor's post about her costumes in Les Girls, which is def not coming to Crit since WA just put it out, but maybe they're planning to release a movie with costumes by Orry-Kelly?

Also I had no idea Mitzi Gaynor was still alive (and tweeting)!
Maybe they're going to include Gillian Armstrong's Orry-Kelly documentary with a forthcoming release? If so, it would presumably be a glitzier movie where his costumes are front and centre. I can't imagine it would be an extra on Armstrong's My Brilliant Career, which is confirmed as forthcoming, isn't it?

Edit: I haven't seen the Orry-Kelly doc, but you should definitely ask David Hare about it! :wink:

I read the retweet as less to do with Mitzi Gaynor and more to do with Orry-Kelly. On the heels of newsletter clue for Arsenic and Old Lace this seems like a piggy back hint to me.

Hopefully if Criterion releases some Gold Diggers it'll be either a box of the series of films or part of a bigger Busby Berkeley box.

I know this Denis visit is likely for Let the Sunshine In special features, but I'm going to keep dreaming it's for Beau Travail:

I don't know who Euzhan Palcy is but a google search tells me she's 60. Not to hold up this thread but christ she looks incredible.

I can't possibly imagine why there aren't more women filmmakers or more female posters on this site.

Janus posted this, likely indicating that The Last Movie is coming.

It just got a 4k restoration, I didn't realize it was with Janus though.

That's not from the Last Movie, it's the American Friend. Another label has Last Movie and is planning a release, but can't remember which

I believe it's Arbelos (or Cinelicious, same thing) that will be handling its stateside Blu-ray release.

There's no way they won't put it out on Blu-ray, I wouldn't worry about it
