Wie im Oktober bereits gemeldet, erscheint Douglas Sirks “Es gibt immer ein Morgen / There’s Always Tomorrow” [USA 1956] im Februar 2010 bei Masters of Cinema. Ein genauer Termin steht noch nicht fest, dafür aber die Ausstattung der DVD. Leider erscheint der Film nicht auf Blu-ray. Der Grund: Das HD-Backup-Master soll im Feuer von 2008 bei Universal zerstört worden sein. Mehr dazu weiter unten.

DVD only release

Between his twin masterpieces All That Heaven Allows and Written on the Wind, Douglas Sirk created this razor-sharp study of male crisis, both a glittering testament to love’s labours lost and his most unforgiving vision of suburban conformity.

Disregarded and neglected by his family, executive toy manufacturer Clifford Groves (Fred MacMurray) is unexpectedly reunited with his former co-worker Norma Miller (Barbara Stanwyck). As the old friends catch up on lost time, his children’s suspicions and hostility to the new relationship threaten to push their father away permanently and throw into disarray the lives of all concerned.

With crystalline, noir-tinged cinematography from Russell Metty (Touch of Evil) and heartbreaking performances by Stanwyck and MacMurray, reunited 12 years after Double Indemnity in their final on-screen pairing,There’s Always Tomorrow finds one of Hollywood’s greatest dramatists at his finest. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present this little-seen classic in a new special edition.

• Beautiful high-definition anamorphic transfer
• Days with Sirk, a 61-minute documentary from 2008 featuring rare interview footage with Sirk shot in 1982
• Original theatrical trailer
• New optional English subtitles (SDH) for the hearing impaired
• Original dialogue and continuity script (in PDF form)
• Booklet featuring an essay by Andrew Klevans, excerpts from a 1977 interview with Sirk and rare production stills

 
Hier noch das Zitat zum HD-Master von peerpee von MoC im Criterion-Forum:

The HD backup master was destroyed in the Universal fire. A new one needs to be made, but it’s bottom of their agenda. Our release will be DVD only, unfortunately. But it will contain DAYS WITH SIRK.
