For you John Wayne fans out there, you'll be happy to know that "The High and the Mighty" and "Island in the Sky" are both rumored to be released on DVD in May.

Both films have hardly been seen since they debuted in the theater. My father kept asking for "The High and the Mighty" for his birthday for years (knowing it wasn't available). I found a bootleg VHS transfer of the 16mm film for sale on Ebay and quenched his thirst. The quality was horrible and it cost a fortune, but he was happy.

Now it's coming on DVD, and I'm sure he'll be one of the first ones to own it.
