Are any of the standalone Psycho or Vertigo DVDs anamorphic?

Postby Boba Fett » Wed Jul 04, 2007 12:25 am

I seem to recall neither have been released with anamorphic prints outside the most recent Hitchcock boxset.

I'd like to pick them up cheap now if possible, since Psycho is getting a Legacy release and Vertigo is sure to follow, and that will drive the price up $10 a piece.

Aren't they selling the remastered titles from the big Hitchcock set individually? I saw new packaging for Shadow of Doubt and Saboteur recently.

They seem to be trickling out.

Yeah, I just checked and it seems everything has been released from the big Hitchcock set except Rear Window, Vertigo, and Pyscho. We can only hope the rest will be coming out sometime soon.

If Psycho is getting a Leagcy rerelease, then it wouldn't be that hard to believe that Vertigo and Rear Window would be receiving the same treatment. Those three are pretty much the crown jewels of Universal's Hitchcock movies.
So, it wasn't so much an eskimo roll. It was more a case of rolling right INUIT!

I'm pretty certain Vertigo will, but so far only Psycho and The Birds (which I believe has been rereleased more than any other Universal Hitchock) have been announced.

I'm worried that the current standalone Rear Window disc is all we get since it was already large in extras and had an anamorphic transfer, that I believe was mostly untouched with the last major boxset.
