Favorite Garbo Movies Still Unavailable on DVD!

As a fan of Garbo, I was tremendously excited when they released the beautiful Box Set of some of her more famous moves, including my favorites from her, Queen Christina, Mata Hari, and Ninotchka, but it’s now been over 5 years since that set came out, and what I want to know is:

Are they EVER going to get around to remastering and releasing any of her OTHER movies on DVD? For while the first Box Set contains many Garbo classics I love (and introduced me to a few I hadn’t seen before) there are still a LOT of her movies of hers I love that I’ve only ever seen available as VHS tapes! Theses are the ones I saw thru rental shops or via the Late, Late Shows back in the day!
Movies like “As You Desire Me”, “Susan Lenox (Her Fall And Rise) and “The Painted Veil” (is Love in the Time of Cholera a remake of this?) are BIG sentimental favorites of mine, and I don’t care what ANYONE says, “Two Faced Woman” is a HILARIOUS, FUN movie that I’ve always loved and is a MUST HAVE!
Sigh- Looks Like it will be quite a wait. Though there have been recently a few unreleased-on-DVD Garbo movies available on DVD-R thru Amazon’s “Createspace” service, what I’m really crossing fingers for is the authentic, remastered DVD treatment these movies truly deserve!
