A year after the launch of the Universal Vault Collection with 25 titles, Amazon’s CreateSpace division announced the availability of 15 more titles on DVD today through the manufacture-on-demand program.
The titles from the ’30s and ’40s have all been available on DVD before, but only as part of sets: The Bing Crosby vehicles “We’re Not Dressing” (1934), “Waikiki Wedding” (1937) and “Here Comes the Waves” (1944); Ernst Lubitsch’s “Bluebeard’s Eight Wife” (1938) with Cary Cooper and Claudette Colbert; and “It Ain’t Hay” (1943), previously included in a 17-title Abbott and Costello set.
The new-to-DVD titles are the TV spinoff “McHale’s Navy” (1964) starring Ernest Borgnine; “The Secret War of Harry Frigg” (1968), a Paul Newman comedy; “Sometimes a Great Notion” (1971), Newman’s directorial debut, with Henry Fonda; “The Other Side of Midnight” (1975) and its 1977 sequel, both with Marilyn Hassett; “Scott Joplin,” a 1977 telefilm starring Billy Dee Williams; “Crackers” (1984), the first of two remakes of the Italian comedy “Big Deal on Madonna Street” with Donald Sutherland and Sean Penn; “Cool as Ice” (1991) starring Vanilla Ice and “The Public Eye” (1992) with Joe Pesci in a rare lead
The 15th title is “The Kid Stays in the Picture” (2002), a documentary about producer Robert Evans that was previously issued on DVD but went out of print.
