*Easy Living* is indeed a very fun film, not only because of its excellent cast, which you've already mentioned, but also by virtue of a great Preston Sturges screenplay. And fortunately, it's one of the few Paramount movies in Universal's library that has been released to DVD.

Even if the movie can't be restored 100%, it would be nice if they could issue it on DVD, I think. It's still a lot of fun, and if it can look good enough for TCM to show it, it might just look good enough for a DVD release.

I was wondering whether anyone else had watched or recorded *The Wonderful World of The Brothers Grimm*. Here is some information that CelluloidKid shared with us in another thread.

> _The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm_ has never been restored or released onto DVD. There was a laserdisc issue of the film, but the quality of the print used for the laserdisc issue was very poor, and was missing the prologue, overture, entracte and walk-out music from the Cinerama roadshow version. The film was also transferred in the incorrect aspect ratio, cutting off the far left and right portions of the image.
I had the opportunity to watch this on laserdisc a few years ago, and it was a great deal of fun. However it seems that even this TCM broadcast wasn't quite complete - it included an overture and intermission music, but there was no exit music.
Having said that, it's still the best presentation currently available of this great movie - one of only 2 narrative movies ever filmed in true Cinerama (together with *How the West Was Won*, of course).
One can only hope that this movie will some day receive the same kind of treatment as *HTWWW* and be properly restored and released on DVD and blu-ray. Until such day might come, the TCM print is the best thing we have.

> Yes, it would have had to be as that was the limit of the format. Super VHS boosted it to 420 lines.
That's what I thought, Charles. Didn't laserdiscs have roughly the same lines of definition as Super-VHS? And isn't standard definition broadcasting capped at roughly 480 lines?

For me, it's probably my 2nd favourite KN movie, after *Vertigo*.
But who cares - she's stunning in both! :x
