…but the Tuesday Morning Foreign Region DVD Report is up, at The Auteurs’. This week, Losey and Pinter’s staggeringly great The Go-Between, with Julie Christie and Alan Bates.
Sorry to interrupt...

Good grief they were good looking. (She still is!)
Glenn, sorry to take this public – but I’m not certain I have your correct e‑mail address, and I just sent you notification that I chose “Some Came Running” for a Dardos Blogging Award. Check my blog for more details:

We now return to our regular programming.
Oh, what a three-course meal a Criterion box-set of the Pinter/Loseys would be (with ACCIDENT as the main, of course). And then the Solinas/Losey MR KLEIN as a midnight feast. Yum yum!
Better than the source material, I hope. Of course, Pinter had a way of elevating mediocre material (even though his Sleuth remake, which I never saw, got panned). That Criterion box-set sounds like a good idea. Do they put out The Servant already?
Congratulations on your acting debut in “The Girlfriend Experience,” which I just reviewed out of Sundance (your performance, not the movie which is work in progress).
Is that the now obsolete full-frame disc? Supposedly the “Go-Between” disc in the newer Losey box set from Optimum is in the correct 1.85 aspect ratio. Which sucks, of course, because I think there are only two other movies in there (“The Big Night” and “The Sleeping Tiger”), out of seven, of which you can’t get a good NTSC edition.
