    You may know, but Silence de la mer has been released on DVD by Masters of Cinema in the UK a few months ago. And Fox has re-announced Boomerang to be among their next batch of noir titles, along with Preminger's Daisy Kenyon, which otherwise probably belongs on this list too.

    I did know about Le Silence de la mer, but I was trying to comprise a list of titles unavailable in the US. And thanks for letting me know about Fox reannouncing Boomerang; I hadn't heard.

    Cobra Woman is on DVD in france - in fact, perhaps I'll watch it now. Also, Dietrich's collabs with V.S. Dishonored & Shanghai Express have still never seen the light of day, even though the latter was acquired by Criterion a million years ago
