movieman1957 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I saw it two weeks ago on a DVD and it wasn't as good as the print last night. The disc I saw also had, if I remember, an organ soundtrack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gagman66 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Well, BARDELYS THE MAGNIFICENT doesn't look quite as good as this new restoration of THE MARK OF ZORRO did perhaps, there was no Negative to draw from. However, it still looks incredibly good, especially when you consider that this print was stashed away and forgotten for 80 years, found in an old Cellar in France! Pretty amazing if you ask me. If you want to see a TCM Premier anytime soon, better start putting in some requests. Maybe they will get something lined-up for a broadcast quicker. The Flicker Alley DVD is supposed to be out July 14th, But I bet it will be pushed back to the Fall. And they probably would like a TCM debut around the same time. Though I hope it will be out in July. Go to the Mont Alto Orchestra Web-page, and you can hear three selections from their new score to BARDELYS. http://www.mont-alto.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlywdkjk Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 *"Do you have one for the campy circus melodrama CARNIVAL STORY..."* - Bronxgirl48 I really thought I had one for that film. And needing a break from planning extra-special Galleries for "Great Directors Month" in June and an extensive look at 1939 for July, I thought I could quickly post a *Carnival Story* for you. Turned out the one I thought I had was for *Battle Circus*. Campy and melodramatic as that may be, it wasn't what you were looking for. But I knew there was a "Carnival" film stored somewhere on this harddrive but only found this - ...which is melodramatic in a totally different way. Then there was this Steve Cochran look-alike... ...in a "Carnival" film. But that doesn't look too campy to me. So I went on a search and found... ...which certainly looks melodramatic to me. And with a tagline of "The story of a woman's shame!" it certainly sounds campy enough. Enjoy! Kyle In Hollywood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronxgirl48 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Kyle, I love that roster leading to CARNIVAL STORY! Thank you my friend. Wow, CARNIVAL OF SOULS makes the movie seem like a Mardi Gras event or something, ha! (scared me witless as a kid, and still does) And is that "Hoppy" in CARNIVAL BOAT? He was always so good-looking to me....and then there's Anne and Steve swept up in passion in CS. The scene in the film has Baxter wrapped up in a towel after she takes her little shower, then. Cochran takes her in his arms back to his tent. The poster has more taste, actually, LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronxgirl48 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Goddess, my first introduction to Rochelle was in the W.C. Fields 1935 THE OLD FASHIONED WAY (hysterically funny, btw) -- that's the only other film I distinctly remember her in, as his daughter. I must have seen her in other things, and always knew she was attractive, but it just never registered much with me until (of all movies) ISLAND OF DOOMED MEN. (re: FG: lol) If you felt sorry for Marian Marsh with Peter in CRIME AND PUNISHMENT, wait till you see Rochelle married and living with him on the penal colony. Ack!!

musicalnovelty Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I also have always liked Rochelle Hudson, and agree that she was very good in the W. C. Fields movie as his daughter. But a slight correction: the movie was "Poppy (1936) not "The Old Fashioned Way". Info on "Poppy": http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0028120/combined Bio info on Rochelle: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0399955/bio'>http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0399955/bio'>http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0399955/bio'>http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0399955/bio Rochelle's filmography: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0399955/ Wouldn't it be nice if TCM could run a day of her films some time, perhaps on her next birthday?

Bronxgirl48 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Thank you so much for the correction, musicalnovelty -- I was confusing my W.C. Fields movies! Appreciate the links and, yes, a birthday tribute day of her films sounds good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hlywdkjk Posted May 14, 2009 Author Share Posted May 14, 2009 I've never used this space to promote "current" films - but these retro "travel" posters are too good (and too witty) not to post.
