If only Ford's brilliance would rub off on a few more American directors!

The fact that the footage excised by RKO is lost forever will probably always be one of the great tragedies of film history, I think, and we can only imagine what his original vision of the film would have felt like if we'd been able to see his version. Additionally, it is not yet available on DVD, so you can only get it on VHS or laserdisc, or watch it when TCM shows it.

It's that it took someone else to call my attention to them and say, "Look at this talent, this is special." I can thank TCM and my esteemed colleagues on this forum for providing me with those regular doses of enlightenment. It's really quite wonderful. That is one of the GREAT things about long-term exposure to classic films via TCM and/or DVDs, etc.

> {quote:title=Edgecliff wrote:}{quote} > The people at Paramount are bonkers. It seems a very risk-averse strategy. They know certain titles have sold in the past, so they don't want to take any risks by releasing other classic films. They seem to think they're better off licensing them to Criterion or Legacy or anybody else, so if the titles don't sell, they don't look bad in their little tiny corporate office. It's the only thing that could even remotely make sense.

A must for me. This set is being released just in time from DDD big fall sale. That's awesome news, Edgecliff! I'm especially excited about *Arabesque* and *Captain Newman, M.D.* (I missed the latter one the last time it was on TCM). Let's hope these new releases from Fox and Universal encourage even more classic DVD box set releases.

> {quote:title=rohanaka wrote:}{quote} > and they might as well work on the high-def transfer while they're at it > > Wouldn't that be eye-popping wonderful!! :-) I only have aVHS tape--and while the quality could be better--from what I remember in the documentary, I am sure it is still better than if they'd filmed it in that "true color" ( I think that's what they called it) Well, let's see. If VHS has approximately 260 lines and DVDs have about 480, and HD can have up to 1080, well, you can imagine what a difference it would make to have a nice high-def transfer of the movie available.

Congratulations on your epiphany. Mind you, I would recommend you watch/record *The Yellow Rolls-Royce*, which comes on in about an hour, if you haven't watched it recently. Even though she is only in one third of the movie (because it's divided into 3 stories) her part is one of the best, and she shares the screen with Omar Sharif! :x

Next time I watch it I'll see if I can relate to any characters in some way that relates to the psychological effects of childhood.

The cinematography is undoubtedly one of the film's key assets. The great charm of Chevalier, Caron and Boyer goes a long way, too. Oh and the location shooting, too, it's as idyllic as that Greek island in *Mamma Mia!*

Have you tried the 3-D DVD version yet? B-)

So when does the new team actually start their new show? Is Mankiewicz already taping shows, anybody know?

It'll be interesting to see what kind of reception the movie gets, especially since it's scheduled to open in October. By the way, anyone here watch *Recount* now that it's on DVD?

*Singin' in the Rain* nw: syllogism

Jean Seberg was in *Lilith* with Peter Fonda

> {quote:title=Edgecliff wrote:}{quote} > I believe there is a clip from this rarity on THE RED SHOES dvd. The color excerpt looks beautiful. I would think Criterion would release this one in the future. I remember the colours being, well, colourful! I can't imagine Criterion not releasing it if they have half a chance, but the key question is going to be how long it might take them. They did just release *The Small Back Room*.

*One Million Years B.C* nw: omelette

Gilbert Roland was in *Malaya* with Sydney Greenstreet
