Here's a fun fact for ya, Gregory LaCava's grandson? None other than the Ross Ulbricht of Silk Road infamy.
Sadly Hollywood scions can’t all be like Hailee Steinfeld living up to the proud legacy of her uncle Body By Jake

Well that was a google search the NSA would like to have not followed. Edge of Seventeen was a pretty underrated movie, one of those movies where if it came out during the days of basic cable* I it think would gather a cult following. Even with that from what I understand it's done well Netflix, it's very rewatchable.

*The Beach Bum is another one, they couldn't get that movie out of theaters fast enough, but it would have lived a very long, healthy life on basic cable.

Great-grandson, according to an article on a site dealing with all things crypto:
Mark Yarm wrote:Lyn LaCava [Ross's mother] grew up in a good neighborhood in Bronxville, N.Y., just north of Manhattan. Her mother was a homemaker who, Lyn says, “felt the pain of other people”; as a college student in North Carolina in the mid-’40s, her mom rode in the back of the bus with the black passengers in a show of solidarity. Lyn’s father was a Madison Avenue advertising executive and the son of entertainers: Beryl Morse, a Broadway actress and distant cousin of the inventor of Morse Code, and Gregory La Cava, the Oscar-nominated director of 1930s films My Man Godfrey and Stage Door.

Sigh, I was under the impression for some reason that this one included a booklet and not a leaflet. I kind of thought Criterion was over them since I hadn't seen them in a while but I guess not. That being said, I'll take a leaflet over the limited first printing nonsense.
...what "nonsense" is this referring to, please..?

I believe all the UK labels are now booklet only in the first printing.

Masters of Cinema and Second Run still have unlimited booklets.
