I just picked that one randomly as it was in alphabetical order.

I'm slowly adding the Criterion links, title by title (see: Linking Criterion.com website releases?) and there seems to be 3 categories:
Is it an official deal? Julien |

I wish I could give info on this but I remember these were around that same time at tower video. Discs like this Bob le flambeur (1955) [ID6492RC] are my guessing, those early ones that would have been transferred from one master source for both VHS, Beta and LD and they would save the artwork by doing that same box art on all formats. It may have been whatever company had the rights for cinemadisc then lost it and criterion picked them up? I only have 1 in my collection. Forgotten Tune for the Flute, A (1988) [ID7194FR] Image quality is fine but its one of those early masters that really wasn't changed much for any other format. |

I have Bob the Gambler. It’s pretty good. I’d say Criterion probably picked these titles up because nobody else would. Probably not formally as a group, just...all those movies. Only Criterion would be interested. That is the real point of Criterion. Not to give you a great version of a movie so much as to give you ANY version of the many important movies that nobody else would release...in the US especially. |

Some even overlapped: Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown #348 (1988) [CC1499L] Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown (1988) [ID6951OR] Vagabond #363 (1985) [CC1518L] Vagabond (1985) [ID5301PA] There must have been a link between the Criterion and Cinemadisc. Julien |
