Other than street date(May 5th, 2015), I have no further details on specifications for these movies' release on blu-ray and what's planned for further releases by Warner Home Video...will update this thread as warranted when more information is available...

 

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment will release The Frank Sinatra Collection on Blu-ray this spring. The 5-disc, 5-film set includes Anchors Away (1945), On the Town (1949), Guys and Dolls (1955), Ocean's 11 (1960) and Robin and the 7 Hoods (1964), three of which -- Anchors Aweigh, On the Town and Robin and the 7 Hoods -- are making their Blu-ray debuts and will also be available for individual sale. The Blu-ray edition of The Frank Sinatra Collection streets on May 5th.

I'm in for Robin & The 7 Hoods. Chicago, Prohibition, gangsters...

 

Getting "Robin & The Seven Hoods", "Anchors Aweigh" & "On The Town"...wish they'd included "High Society" with Bing Crosby, Grace Kelly, Louie Armstrong & Celeste Holm in this, but maybe later in the year...

 

Another previously-unavailable blu-ray title has been added to this reissue..."On The Town"(1949), co-directed by(with Stanley Donen) and co-starring Gene Kelly, Jules Munshen, Betty Garrett, Vera-Ellen & Ann Miller...the other 2 titles included in the box set are "Guys & Dolls"(1955) & "Ocean's 11"(1960)...all titles WILL be available individually on May 5th, 2015...

 

Got Steve's DCC Gold CD remaster of the soundtrack album in my library...great Rat Pack music in audiophile quality sound!

 

Sinatra's last movie musical. Steve did a great job on the DCC remaster. The "soundtrack" album contains later Reprise studio recordings which are different than those in the movie, though. Unfortunately, most of the Warner Bros. film recording session masters no longer exist.

Still waiting for my favorite Sinatra film -- Some Came Running -- to make it to blu-ray. Hopefully this year...

 

The box set and individual titles are now available for pre-order at Amazon..."Anchors Aweigh", "On The Town" & "Robin & The 7 Hoods" MSRP at $19.95 and the box set at $69.95...the individual titles are discounted to $13.99/each and the box set to $48.97...

 

Extending my previous list with new Amazon links:

16. [2015] Anchors Aweigh
17. [2015] On the Town
18. [2015] Robin and the 7 Hoods
19. [2015] The Frank Sinatra Collection (box set with 5 titles)
​

 

OH MY GOD! I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT AN ON THE TOWN BLU RAY! You have no idea.

 

I have a feeling the Sinatra Centennial will be painful to the wallet. Ring-A-Ding-Ding indeed.

Can we speculate about a Volume II? Maybe:

Some Came Running (MGM)
The Man With The Golden Arm (UA)
The Pride And The Passion (UA)
A Hole In The Head (UA)

Then license:
The Joker Is Wild (Paramount)

 

MISS TURNSTILES!!!!

 

I wouldn't waste a minute pre ordering. Amazon's prices are usually at their lowest when first set up. If the best price can be beat later by another retailer, you can always cancel the Amazon order .

$13.99 for the individual titles is pretty sweet.

 

Coming on Blu-ray next week —> Olive Films 1/27/15 blu-ray releases announced

 

I'm hoping for a blu-ray release of "High Society"(1956) with Bing Crosby, Grace Kelly, Louis Armstrong & Celeste Holm later this year from Warner. A hi-def transfer already exists and is waiting to be used in full resolution physical media...

 

Amen! I'm hoping for that as well! One of my favorite films. period!

 

I'm hoping for a release of "None But the Brave".

 

Press Release with complete details at Sinatra Family Forum —> Frank Sinatra 5-Film Collection

 

Preordered. Thanks for the tip, Bob. (I expect to be posting variations of this statement all year!)

Amazon is showing this as the cover, though I have to admit a preference for the version in the ad slick you posted.

 

This appears to be the latest official version of that earlier dealer ad image:



Pre-order link for Blu-ray box set —> amazon.com/dp/B00SIHM7PI

 

This is always excellent advice, BTW. When I pre-ordered the Blu-ray 5-Film Collection box set last month, the Amazon price was $48.97. It's now jumped to $59.99, and the three new individual BD titles have gone to $14.99.

 

I want to recommend the blu-rays of Pal Joey (1957), Never So Few (1958) and The Detective (1968) released by Twilight Time in state-of-the-art hi-def transfers. The boutique label specializes in Limited Editions of 3000 copies so get 'em before they sell out. Available either from the company's website or from Screen Archives.
