Further to what gag posted From their FB page: "TetroVideo is an UK, Italy and international distribution and sales capabilities based in UK. TetroVideo specialises in horror and extreme feature films." It looks like they were a DVD only company specialising in low runs of newer horror titles. Perhaps, they are looking to diversify and grab a bit of the retro-cult market? I guess the big question is, will FFF be 3D? It's strange that none of their artworks have BBFC certificates on them... |

Sounds like bullshit to me. Where will they have got the financing for restorations of two genuinely cult films like the Warhol ones. Who actually owns the rights to the Warhol films? Is is a studio or another source. |

I'm curious though because none of these films that they have for sale are classics, they're all new(ish) things, potentially micro-budget self financed films.

I got the info from Hammer Horror on Bluray FB page and the company have uploaded a scan to their FB page. On the HHoBR page somebody pointed out that VS have an 'iconic' 3D film coming to BR this year and they tend to do their own restorations. Perhaps TetroVideo are in partnership for a UK release? If any of its true it looks like we'll know before the end of the year. |

'Bout time these got decent restorations. They're an important part of cinematic history.

Repeat Performance (1947) released by Flicker Alley Been meaning to post this one for a while but it kept slipping my mind. Sounds really intriguing for noir and fantasy fans. Repeat Performance, the most requested film in the early years of the Film Noir Foundation’s restoration campaign, is finally available in digital form! An amazingly original hybrid of film noir, supernatural fantasy, and backstage melodrama, the film stars Joan Leslie as a Broadway actress who magically relives the previous year of her life, but can she alter the fateful mistakes and misjudgments that led to a New Year’s Eve tragedy? Think of it as film noir’s answer to It’s a Wonderful Life or a full-length precursor to The Twilight Zone. Produced as a rare prestige picture by fledgling Eagle-Lion Pictures, the movie features an array of vivid performances: 21-year-old Joan Leslie as Sheila Page, her first mature role following a parade of teenage ingenues at Warner Bros.; Louis Hayward as her husband Barney, a bitter and vengeful playwright; Virginia Field as Sheila’s personal and professional rival, Paula Costello; Tom Conway as suave stage producer John Friday; and Richard Basehart in his movie debut as poet William Williams, one of the era’s most sensitive depictions of a gay artist. In the years after its 1947 release, Repeat Performance seemingly vanished. For many who’d seen it, the film’s startling premise and stunning set-pieces became merely a tantalizing memory. It fell so far off the cultural radar people began to think they’d only imagined the movie. But thanks to the dedication and diligence of the Film Noir Foundation, Repeat Performance was restored in collaboration with UCLA Film & Television Archive and the Packard Humanities Institute. And now, it lives again in a beautiful Blu-ray/DVD dual-format edition loaded with special features. BONUS MATERIALS INCLUDE: VIDEO INTRODUCTION by author, film historian, and “noirchaeologist” Eddie Muller who describes the film’s restoration process and puts Repeat Performance in context as part of a sub-genre of supernatural noir VIDEO PROFILE OF JOAN LESLIE by author and film historian Farran Smith Nehme who describes the actress’ transition from teenage ingenue roles to mature adult performances MINI-DOCUMENTARY on the history of Eagle-Lion Pictures, written and narrated by author and film historian Alan K. Rode and produced by film director and author Steven C. Smith AUDIO COMMENTARY by film historian Nora Fiore (“The Nitrate Diva”) featuring an in-depth history of the film’s production DIGITAL PRESS BOOK: A complete, on-disc “page turning” digital edition of the film’s original 1947 pressbook SOUVENIR BOOKLET featuring author Brian Light’s book-to-film comparison of the original 1942 William O’Farrell novel with screenwriter Walter Bullock’s script, along with an array of original photos, lobby cards, and posters.

I'd never heard of this TV Series. The one surviving episode is to be released by Kaleidoscope and has been colour restored. Very expensive though... https://www.tvbrain.info/shop/books/late-night-horror |
