The Universal Vault Series

it aint' hayEver since I started Forgotten Films, I’ve been doing regular posts to update my readers on the new releases from the Warner Archive. As other series’ from the likes of Sony and Fox have come around, I’ve tried to do updates on those as well. But I admit, I have neglected the Universal Vault series, which has been going for many years now. The series is only available from Amazon and the releases have been somewhat sporadic…guess I’ve gotten spoiled by the weekly crop of new releases from the Warner Archive. Anyway, it’s been a bit difficult to stay up-to-date on the releases from Universal. So, I’m attempting to make things right with this post…an overview of the titles available in the Universal Vault Series. These are the titles that I can find currently available on Amazon. Here’s hoping that many more are released!

  1. Excited to see the Abbott & Costello “It Ain’t Hay” with Damon Runyon. I don’t know about this movie, so I’ll have to drop some big hints with family members this season…

  2. In view of the undoubted success of Warner Archives with their Monogram Cowboy Collection & Tim Holt Collections, what are the chances of Universal releasing some of their B western features. After all, they did have a good stable of western stars including Tex Ritter, Buck Jones, Ken Maynard, Rod Cameron and,of course, Johnny Mack Brown who is proving to be a big hit with the Monogram Cowboy collections

    1. I hope they do, but if you ask me, the Universal Vault series really needs to step up their game a bit. There is no regular schedule to the releases…and since there is no official site for the series (at least not that I can find), it is difficult to tell when new releases come out.
