Sellers, Lois & Clark, Tidbit

Remembering Peter Sellers

Never Let Go Box Art The Naked Truth Box Art What's New Pussycat? Box Art

MGM Home Entertainment is going to release three Peter Sellers films on June 7th. Sellers teams with the droll Terry-Thomas in a 1957 comedy called The Naked Truth. A more serious crime drama called Never Let Go has Sellers co-starring with Richard Todd. And the slapstick flick that teams Sellers with Peter O'Toole, Woody Allen, and Ursula Andress is What's New Pussycat? All will carry an SRP of $14.95. Each is presented in 1.66:1, but the MGM press site doesn't specify anamorphic video. All are in monaural and include the film's theatrical trailer.

Exploiting renewed popularity

Lois and Clark Season One Box Art

The cynic in me can't help wonder if the timing of Warner Home Video's Lois & Clark television series on DVD wasn't timed to leverage Terry Hatcher's renewed popularity. The self-confessed has-been is hot right now, thanks to her runaway hit Desperate Housewives. The first season of L&K costars Hatcher and Dean Cain and will be released as a six-disc package on June 7th. The aspect ratio will be television's 1.33:1 and the audio will be in stereo. Expect an SRP of $59.98.

Tidbit

Here's some bad news for fans of David Lynch's 1984 imagining of Dune and Alan Smithee's re-imagining of Lynch's work. The title, which was scheduled to be released on DVD on May 10th has mysteriously vanished from Universal's official web site. It looks like we're facing an undefined postponement.
