No but I could check the Criterion forums for any updates.
-
Not AFAIK but I could have simply missed them.

Well it was pretty wacky, I'll give it that.
But for pure surreal delight, the best animated short for my money would be Donald Duck in Mathmagic Land. I remember they showed a 16mm print at school once, it was quite a trip.

mother, wife, decent girls -- or femme fatales in the case of noirs, no?

Ah, so now the subject is also all Broadway musicals?
In all honesty... why start a thread about Broadway in a website that's all about classic film? Wouldn't there be more Broadway fans posting in related websites?
-
Ah, great, so now the thread is officially about all Broadway musicals?
-
Why, thank you, that's sweet of you.
-
Who's unhappy? I've said, repeatedly, that I'm glad she isn't in that horrible film. I'm unhappy they made a lousy film of my favorite musical, not that JA isn't in it.
Yes, just as I've said repeatedly that I'm glad she didn't ruin the wonderful movie adaptation. And only unhappy that she turned out to be a one-trick pony as far as the movies were concerned.

And that is why people who want to hear the Broadway recording can buy the CD, while those who like the movie can watch the delightful Audrey Hepburn in the lovely film version.
Mary Poppins is OK for family fare, but not everyone who likes musicals wants to see a children's movie.

Since NBC has the rights, probably the best way to enjoy It's a Wonderful Life at home is to get the DVD from Paramount that just came out. The transfer is very good, and the extras ain't bad.
-
Well if it comes down to talent as well as charm, the there's no question Audrey Hepburn was 1,000 times better than Julie Andrews could have been.
But why should JA fans be unhappy? She did a decent job with Mary Poppins and even got the Oscar for it

Indeed, if Humphrey Bogart had not been available, I wonder if John Wayne would have taken the lead in The African Queen. It would have been interesting to see the chemistry he had with KH, decades before Rooster Cogburn.
-
Ah, maybe you'll be interested in watching this, even if JA is not in it?
-
Well yeah, but still nobody forced you to go watch it in the movie theater... or to stay through the whole thing if it wasn't to your liking. Or were you locked in the theater and strapped in your seat until the movie finished?
-
It was indeed very very sad. I remember how shocking it was reading about it in the newspapers at that time.
-
Welcome to the boards moviegal, glad you're enjoying the GK tribute as star of the month.
Next week's movies are going to be awesome!
-
It'd be cool to have a chance to watch some of that, too.
-
And what's the point in having redundant threads simply because you only want to preach to the converted?
-
Oh yeah, Julie Andrews was quite good in that, wasn't she?
-
Yey for Rita! Yey for Ida!
-
Ah, so now it's OK to discuss something other than Julie Andrews? Isn't that quite the about-face?
-
Why are you trying to hijack the thread with a Robert Morse/HTSIBWRT discussion? This is the Julie Andrews thread....
-
It should also be fun with all the other cast members...
Eileen Brennan ... Tess Skeffington
Truman Capote ... Lionel Twain
James Coco ... Inspector Milo Perrier

Estelle Winwood ... Miss Withers
James Cromwell ... Marcel Cassette
Richard Narita ... Willie Wang

It is nonetheless one of the most acclaimed movie musicals ever made, with, what is it, 12 Oscar nominations and 8 wins. But here's the best part -- if you don't like it, nobody is going to force you to watch it.
Thanks for RARE FRANK CAPRA! Please air more of his early Columbia films

I'm glad there's at least one really good DVD version available, I still remember when the market was flooded with PD copies that looked awful.
