Fox Enters The DVD-On-Demand Business With "Fox Cinema Archives"

DVD-On-Demand, where you order the title and the DVD is specifically made for you, has really taken off, thanks to the Warner Archives, MGM Limited Editions, and Sony Pictures Choice Collection.  Last week Fox entered the market, with 35 new titles available on demand as part of the "Fox Cinema Archives" series.

Unlike the Warner Archives, which are available on their own website, the Fox Cinema Archives will be available from a number of retailers, including Amazon.

The DVD-on-demand is an excellent way for a studio to release classic films that wouldn't ordinarily support a wide release. Fox has some excellent titles in this first set, including:

Mr. Belvedere Rings The Bell (1951)--Before the TV series, Clifton Webb added another memorable character to his resume. Webb won an Oscar nod for the first film he played Belvedere in, 1948's Sitting Pretty, which introduced the world to a 50-ish male au pair/babysitter who knew more than his employees.

Suez (1938)--The classic story of the building of the massive canal., starring Tyrone Power.


Claudia (1942)--Frank movie about a child bride forced to mature after marriage.  Dorothy McGuire and Robert Young star.

Diplomatic Courier (1952)--Tyrone Power and Patricia Neal star in this tale of international inrigue and Cold War spies.

Way of the Gaucho (1952)--After he inadvertently kills a man, a gaucho is forced to join the Argentine army as punishment.  Rory Calhoun star.
