The DVD box set I'm waiting for...

"The Warner Gangster Collection" (6 Disc set)

Disc 1: Public Enemy
Disc 2: Little Caesar
Disc 3: Dead End / Angels With Dirty Faces
Disc 4: Petrified Forest / High Sierra
Disc 4: Bullets or Ballots / Brother Orchid
Disc 5: G Men / The Roaring Twenties
Disc 6: White Heat / Desperate Hours

And, of course, all great transfers loaded with commentary and extras!

There's your homework assignment Warner Video, any questions?

There is at least one flaw in the above. DEAD END was a
United Artists release, and the rights to it are not owned
by Warner. Perhaps ANGELS W/ DF could be paired up with its
not-really-a-sequel-though-the-title-makes-it-look-like-one
ANGELS WASH THEIR FACES.

Warner's also did "The Rise and Fall of Legs Diamond" (1960)
and it starred Ray Danton

I agree wholeheartedly with this list, but let's not forget "I am a
Fugitive from a Chain Gang" about a gross miscarriage of justice with
our hero, Paul Muni being incarcerated for a crime he didn't commit,
and then joining a gang of gangsters (Heh) in escaping. This is one
of the most riveting films I've seen and I prize my laserdisc of it.

Incidently, all of the above films except "Petrified Forest" were
issued on Laser. "Dead End" has been issued three times on DVD, the
Image version being quite good quality. But indeed it's not a Warner
film.

I think that these films will indeed appear on DVD soon enough, with
Public Enemy" and Little Caesar" actually being discussed in the
rumour mills. "High Sierra" has already appeared.

PETRIFIED FOREST was released on laserdisc - it was one of the four
films included in the MGM/UA box set "The Bogart Collection" (ML102663).

Yep yep, that's right. Sorry, it didn't come up in my database. So
ALL the classic Gangster films with Bogey and Cagney have been on
Laser? "I am a Fugitve form a Chain Gang" was released to laser in
1997, but didn't make it to DVD.

Mr. Vitale, before Warners does their homework, why don't you do yours?
The Desperate Hours was a) not Warner Brothers, and b) is already out on
DVD via the studio that made the film, Paramount.
