The Criterion Collection's December 2007 email newsletter strongly hints that they will be releasing The Furies in 2008, most likely February or March.
shareI saw that too and almost died of excitement! Finally, Mann just might be getting some recognition! Could Man of the West follow? Oh Lord let's hope...

Before you break anyone's neck, I would like to say that The Furies has been confirmed for a June release. No lies. I just found out today on Criterion's website.
shareYes, DVDBeaver.com confirms the June release of Furies. The unwittingly campy Big Valley tv series now seems in retrospect seems like a total reaction-formation against Stanwycks's role in The Furies.
I wish Criterion would do El Cid. Their laserdisc version has far better colors than the faded out recent Miriam Collection edition.
We can hope for some more Man(n) of the West(ern)s from Criterion, some of which are only on region two and others only in pan and scan DVD or video Cimarron, The Far Country, etc) from Criterion.
If "The Furies" does well for Criterion, I hope they soon after release "Devil's Doorway," "The Tall Target," and/or "The Black Book." If a box set is in the works, new prints of "Raw Deal" and "T-Men" would be welcome news.
Now the only thing to ponder is whether the perenial underachievers (aka MGM) can release a good edition of "Man of the West."
I received my copy today. beautiful print, and lots of tasty extra's,including an intelligent commentary!
