All I Desire (Directors Suite) | R2UK |
There is no current Region 1 release of this title. The title is available in Region 2, either individually or as part of the Douglas Sirk box set, which also includes Has Anybody Seen My Gal?, All I Desire, Magnificent Obsession, All That Heaven Allows, Written on the Wind and Imitation of Life. This set sounds most desirable, although there have been many complaints about the insensitive widescreen transfer of Magnificent Obsession, with assertions that Sirk's key composition of images has been severely harmed. I suspect that this widescreen transfer is the same used by Madman on their solo release of Magnificent Obsession, but I have not yet seen their release. Also good value is a UK release which pairs All I Desire with Double Indemnity at a reasonable price - and that's an excellent double bill. There is also a German Region 2 release entitled Douglas Sirk Collection, which contains All I Desire, There's Always Tomorrow with Barbara Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray, and Interlude with June Allyson and Rossano Brazzi. I have not been able to find other information on this release other than that Interlude is an anamorphic transfer of the original CinemaScope 2.35:1 image. |
