While they didn't know it when they started their manufactured on demand program three years ago, Warner's Archive Collection has proven to be a cash cow. Now, according to Lou Lumenick, Fox will soon bow their own MOD line with the moniker of "Fox Cinema Archives."

Details are still sketchy, but Rings on Her Finger (1942), Sweet Rosie O'Grady (1943) and Diplomatic Courier (1951) appear to be in the first wave coming next month with a target of around 150 releases per year.

This announcement is music to the ears of classic movie fans as Fox's classic output has been at a standstill for the last three years. We will, of course, carry this new line as rentals, and will make them available for sale when they become available to wholesale channels.

Stay tuned for more information...

Diplomatic Courier (1952) Tyrone Power, Patricia Neal

Director: Henry Hathaway

Co-stars: Stephen McNally, Hildegarde Neff, Karl Malden, Charles Bronson

97 minutes, Black and White

DVD-R: Region ALL

This involved espionage yarn has Power going to Trieste, ostensibly as a diplomatic courier for the US State Department, but in reality as a secret agent for the OSS. James Millican, US envoy to Bucharest, is murdered on a train by two Russian agents, Mario Siletti and Chalres Bronson. A vital document detailing the impending Russian invasion of Yugoslavia is taken from Millicans body. This is the secret that was to have been passed to Power, who must now work to regain the document, aided by McNally, a US military intelligence officer. In Trieste, Power meets with Neff, the last person to have seen Millican. He also runs into an American playgirl, Neal, who seems to be concerned only with having a good time, although Power becomes suspicious when she begins pumping him for information. It turns out that Millicans killers did not get the microfilm after all, and Neal, a Russian spy, is trying to obtain it. Neff, in a surprise twist, turns out to be an American spy. Just as Power gets his hands on the microfilm, he is almost murdered, but McNallys men save him at the last minute and spirit him to safety. Power is convincing as the courier who finds himself in over his head in puzzling intrigue; he often appears to be bumbling onto clues. Neal is beautiful and conniving, and Neff is stunning and sympathetic as a WW II refugee. Malden is solid as the Army sergeant who pulls Power out of several tight spots. Michael Ansara and Lee Marvin, who were later to become outstanding performers, appear as two US Army MPs in Trieste.
