To summarize the November contest proposed solutions:
Jean Renoir to Jack Palance
1. Jean Renoir
Elena and Her Men
2. Jean Marais
The Testament of Orpheus
3. Brigitte Bardot
Contempt
4. Jack Palance
Monica Vitti to Cary Grant
1. Monica Vitti
The Phantom of Liberty
2. Michel Piccoli
French Cancan
3. Jacques Marin*
Charade
4. Cary Grant
*Though technically present according to IMDb, Jacques Marin's uncredited role in French Cancan was as a spectator. For that reason, I doubt that this is the solution that the CC folks had in mind.
OR:
1. Monica Vitti
The Phantom of Liberty
2. Michel Piccoli
French Cancan
3. Jean Renoir
Elena and Her Men
4. Ingrid Bergman
Notorious
5. Cary Grant

Doesn't the game (like the Kevin Bacon game) only call for 6 at most? My understanding was you could do it in less.thethirdman wrote:Jean Renoir to Jack Palance
Jean Renoir directed French Cancan.
Michel Piccoli appeared in French Cancan.
Michel Piccoli also appeared in Contempt.
Jack Palance appeared in Contempt.

Here is my take (6 names):
1. Tony Curtis appeared in Spartacus with Jean Simmons.
2. Jean Simmons appeared in Great Expectations directed by David Lean.
3. David Lean directed Oliver Twist with Ralph Truman.
4. Ralph Truman appeared in The Golden Coach with Anna Magnani.
5. Anna Magnani appeared in Mamma Roma directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini

the past couple of years DVD Empire has had a "Criterion Christmas" where select titles have been heavily discounted, but no sign of that so far this yearcgray wrote:yeah, and barnesandnoble? when was the last time they had a good price on anything? if anybody has idea what the newsletter is refering too...blindside8zao wrote:So where are those promotions on DVDempire that the newsletter was talking about?

I'm starting to wonder...seeing how there's no real need for new DVDs of Red Beard, Throne of Blood, Hidden Fortress and Rashomon, might Criterion compile the respective It's Wonderful to Create episodes as a supplementary disc for one of the forthcoming Kurosawa discs?zedz wrote:Presumably each of these will include their respective It Is Wonderful to Create episodes, and conceivably Nakadai reminisced about Yojimbo and Sanjuro (and, hey, maybe even his couple of seconds in Seven Samurai) during the recent bout of interviews.

Can someone please post the url of the online newsletter? My email came through as a poorly formatted mess which is strange considering the other letters came through fine.

Ah! Mystery solved. I just received a new version of the Newsletter with this addendum added to the top:
"It has come to our attention that our newsletter is unreadable in Yahoo this month. As a courtesy, we are resending this to those of you using Yahoo's email service. Happy reading and keep those comments coming!"

Actually, after posting the above I was thinking that this strategy would make sense for a high-profile rerelease of Seven Samurai (surely their flagship Kurosawa title), to publicise the rest of their catalogue in the manner of the Bergman intros on Fanny & Alexander.What A Disgrace wrote:I'm starting to wonder...seeing how there's no real need for new DVDs of Red Beard, Throne of Blood, Hidden Fortress and Rashomon, might Criterion compile the respective It's Wonderful to Create episodes as a supplementary disc for one of the forthcoming Kurosawa discs?zedz wrote:Presumably each of these will include their respective It Is Wonderful to Create episodes, and conceivably Nakadai reminisced about Yojimbo and Sanjuro (and, hey, maybe even his couple of seconds in Seven Samurai) during the recent bout of interviews.
