Thanks, but I see nothing about the sound.

STAR!, AIRPORT, THE SOUND OF MUSIC, THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD. Also, THE MIRACLE. Not because I have any great love for it (perhaps the stupidest film ever made), but I've always wanted to see a great print in its Technirama aspect ratio and stereophonic sound.

I just assumed it played a roadshow in all the major cities.

I found nothing about sound on the new 4K disc for NORTH BY NORTHWEST. Anyone know?

Not that it mattered, I found it a total bore, but FUNNY GIRL played in 70MM in Philadelphia.

Sammy Maudlin! Love all his characters on the greatest sketch comedy show, ever!!!

Somehow Byron Allen's rise from a comedian to a business mogul escaped me. I remember him an the opening act (really good), for Julie Andrews.

Boogie Barcarolle is one of the greatest numbers on film!

Haha. It was on the radio all the time!

This one, for me, is the finest (complete) recording of this great musical. Brigadoon Studio Recording

Yes, it was a bit hit in Salzburg when I was living there, but for the reasons I stated, I believe.

"Wand'rin Star" is horribly "sung" (croaked) by Lee Marvin; but, surround his croaking with a superb men's chorale and outstanding orchestration, and you have a gem!

The show is a masterpiece of the Broadway stage. Easily L&L's greatest musical. The film, like so many other film versions of great Broadway shows, is just frustrating to me.

Not a worshiper at the altar of Audrey Hepburn, as most are, but I find this to be her truest acting on film, rather than getting by on just her undeniable screen presence.
