I think it holds up very well, but then I love surrealism, McGoohan, and Leo McKern, among the many other fine British actors that were in it. The original Prisoner is also supposed to look really good on blu-ray, since it was shot on 35mm film originally.

Can't wait until Friday evening - what a great schedule TCM has for those who remember the good ol' days of Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker comedies of the 80s and early 90s. I always laugh myself silly with any of these movies! Surely, they're something to look forward to *The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!* (1988) 8pm ET A dumb cop tries to thwart a plot to assassinate Queen Elizabeth.

Fox Movie Channel will be showing Ford's Tobacco Road this morning at 7:30am ET. This will be the last showing on FMC at least until early May.

I might call *Citizen Kane* a proto-noir, certainly it has lots of noir elements, but I don't think it is generally considered a film noir. I don't know anyone who would consider Citizen Kane to be noir, either, but its style of cinematography, full of shadows and striking contrasts, does seem to have something in common with many of the best noirs. Ironically, cinematographer Gregg Toland never really got to work in a true film noir, perhaps in part due to his tragic death when he was just 44. What Toland could have done working in film noir, we'll never know.

I don't usually go for colorized footage, but that was really fun to watch!

From what I've read about it, Walt was really heartbroken when they "stole" the rights to Oswald from him; obviously he vowed nothing like that would happen again and ever since then, the Disney Co. has fiercely protected all its copyrights - a bit ironic, since so many of Disney's animated classics were based on fairy tales in the public domain. I knew Disney Co. had gotten the rights to Oswald back not too long ago, but I didn't remember the details - thanks for sharing the story. I've a little Oswald pin that Disney made not too long ago, it's very cute.
