1.0 out of 5 stars The movie is great, but ..., May 30, 2009

... you may not know what you're getting. This is a Warner Archive product. It is a barebones DVD-R with no extras with the exception of maybe a trailer. You can't even pick scenes. You can only go forwards and backwards in 10 minute intervals.

On top of that, this is an unrestored version. The best version that you've seen on Turner Classic Movies - that is what you're getting here, no more no less.

Until recently Warner Brothers was selling these items through their own store for considerably less than this price. Now they've taken (at least) the following films and put them all on Amazon as an exclusive at this price:
Bordertown
Colorado Territory
Crime School
Doctor Ehrlich's Magic Bullet
The Male Animal
The Unsuspected
20,000 Years in Sing Sing
The Verdict (1946)
Look for the Silver Lining

The original idea of the Warner Archives was to sell the titles in the Warner film library that would probably not break even in a general retail release on demand via the archives. If Warners doesn't believe that James Cagney and "The Strawberry Blonde" will sell in a general release, then they believe nothing will.

How far Warner Home Video has fallen since they released The Jazz Singer (Three-Disc Deluxe Edition) in a three disc deluxe edition with commentary, shorts, and even original programs and lobby cards. Times may be hard in the classic DVD industry, but for me they will never be this hard.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible Marketing, July 2, 2009

I completely agree with the previous reviewer. Wonderful titles I'd love to own, but badly produced, marketed and priced outrageously!

This has been a favorite of mine for many years. James Cagney and Olivia DeHaviland are great on the screen. The plot is full of comedy. There are many songs that we know by heart. Look for the Warner Bros. stable of character actors. The dvd itself is lacking though for the price. The only extra feature is the trailer. Given the product, it looks like a economy dvd. It is priced otherwise. Nonetheless, I had to have the movie.
