I'd stake my life that the box with the three white-spined DVDs to the left on the second shelf is the UK Marlene Dietrich set (bar code 5050582435481) with Shanghai Express, Destry Rides Again, The Devil is a Woman, A Foreign Affair, Blond Venus, and The Lady is Willing. The tip-off is that the Universal logo appears at the head of two of the spines, but not the third which remains blank.

I was previously wondering if the yet-unidentified black 6-film box might be a German Dietrich DVD collection that I think contains 5 Sternberg films. It's 12 films but I was wondering if it was packaged two-per-set:

And then there's an 18 film UK black box that I think contains all of the Sternbergs:

But I can't find other pictures of the sets to further verify.

I don't own the set version, but could the UK blu two to the right of Awful Truth be StudioCanal Ealing Comedy/ies?

I thought I trusted Criterion's scholarship bona fides, but I don't see one copy of Videohound's Golden Movie Retriever, not one edition.

So... considering TT is releasing Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice, does that mean that the shelf might have included titles Criterion was only circling rather than just being stuff in active development?

Could have been research for a different Mazursky release

I would appreciate that or Next Stop or Harry and Tonto. Maybe even his as far as I know OOP Jules and Jim remake if just for the opportunity to see it.

Or simply stuff for background research. I'm going to be ploughing through a fair chunk of Jack Nicholson's back catalogue very soon, but Powerhouse only has three actual titles to my knowledge*. Ditto Hammer, as I seriously need to brush up on their psychological thrillers.

(*Don't bother trawling the Sony catalogue for clues; they're not all Columbia releases.)

Am I right in assuming As Good As It Gets, being a TriStar title?

Feel free to assume whatever you want; I'm not confirming one way or the other at this stage.

Someone else visited and tweeted out a picture of the library. If anyone else wants to figure out what is in the works, here it is:

Aside from the DVDs for Bringing Up Baby and Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice (which were on the shelf whenever someone got a picture a while back), I see a MGM DVD of 1984 on there.

I spy Sacha Guitry not far down from the Renoir set. Hard to imagine what else of his they’d be releasing, though.

It's obvious, but they have that big Polish Wajda set up there too.

I spotted Universal's DVD of The Heiress; God I hope that means Criterion has plans for that title...

The DVD set next to the BFI's Woodfall set is Bondarchuk's War and Peace

Interesting to note that we're a month out from the Bergman box and it still doesn't seem to physically exist yet
