When COVID-19 was closing everything in 2020, Imprint Films, a premium sub-label of Via Vision Entertainment, emerged and physical media in Australia has since been all the better for it.
With the majority of available titles now sold out, Imprint Films have gained a solid foothold in Australia’s physical media market since the label’s launch back in COVID-dominate May.

No Way to Treat a Lady is one of three premium Blu-ray releases that remain, a classic black comedy based on William

I remember first hearing about When Worlds Collide via a loose reference on an episode of Seinfeld, in which George Costanza likened the cataclysmic event to the unwanted merging of two separate parts of his social life. That’s actually very relatable. Now the George Pal classic has collided with Blu-ray for the very first time,

Here we are after three months with the next batch from Imprint Films, five premium Blu-ray releases, out of which I’m starting with the less talked about, Night Falls on Manhattan, No. 10 in the line-up.
