Though licensed from Studio Canal, LionsGate's Alain Delon set is supposed to contain different titles than the Optimum UK set. For instance, one of the titles is Julien Duvivier's DIABOLICALLY YOURS, a favorite of mine that I first caught on the Unicorn Video release. French and German DVD releases have been available for a while (no Enlgish options) and there is an unauthorized R1 disc. Does anyone know if the LionsGate disc will include both the English and French tracks?

All five titles include:

The Widow Couderc (1971; Pierre Granier-Deferre)
Diabolically Yours (1967; Julien Duvivier)
La Piscine (1969; Jacques Deray)
Le Gitan (1975; Jose Giovanni)
Notre Histoire (1984; Bertrand Blier)

I don't know about language options, but I've held off ordering till I know whether the transfers are anamorphic ...or not.

Anyone know?

. . . I was kind of surprised that LE CAPORAL EPINGLE/THE ELUSIVE CORPORAL (1962) was an anamorphic 16x9 transfer in the Lionsgate Jean Renoir box set . . . I suppose there is hope for the Delon - I suspect it will be whatever transfers they receive from StudioCanal . . .

LA PISCINE is another one that has an English dub so I'm wondering whether LG will include both French and English.
