“Vom Winde verweht” weitere Blu-ray Details

Bereits vor gut einer Woche hatte ich von dem geplanten Blu-ray Disc Release von “Gone with the Wind” in den UK und USA berichtet. Nachdem die Blu-ray Disc für die UK bereits bei Amazon aufgetaucht ist, gibt es jetzt auch nochmal eine Bestätigung von Warner, dass das Release am 17. November in den USA heraus kommen soll.
