    Who is a fan of James Bond soundtracks?

    I would love an expanded edition of Golden Gun. BTW, there's a talented guy who has been putting his electronic orchestrations of unreleased Golden Gun cues on YOuTube. In many instances, he is spot on with his versions!I like much of Thomas Newman's work, but I'm disappointed with his "Skyfall"...

    I'm not sure that The Shirelles actually play on the motion picture score album. Are they listed on the album anywhere? The versions are great, but I've always been curious if UA Records had the rights to use them.

    John says -"And, yes, that is indeed Walter Matthau in the police calls as the officer watching the Crumps in the basement."He truly has a unique voice but it's not heard in "Mad World"!. I brought the complete list of voice over actors to the commentary session confirmed by Jim Kroeper and we...

    HarleyDog, Thanks for linking the video. My wife and I worked on it as a possible extra for the Criterion Blu-Ray, but we were editing in HD and their standard is 2K (a bit higher), but they were gracious enought to include it as a "Mad World" web extra. I hope you like it!Paul

    I'm no expert, but I don't think there was ever footage of that. All the trims we had even for the LD seem to go from one shot to the other without anything missing. I think it plays asThey chase Culpeper.Police radio calling CulpeperPoilce Department scene (deciding to arrest Culpeper)You hear...

    There are many important touches that Dunn and his team added that one does not think are done as special effects, like the glowing fireworks box! .

    Carl, what was your source for this info? For years, I've yet to see any evidence of this story. The Kovacs story SOUNDS good, but it's only came to light due to the internet. We need sources! :)Paul

    Criterion ready to release IT’S A MAD MAD MAD MAD WORLD

    My take on that, John, is that up to the fire escape sequence, the film is played as SORT of real, the Indiana Jones/James Bond theory that if one was one really good shape and REALLY lucky, the character will survive. There are no cutesy comedy angles, etc. trying to sell a gag. It is only in...

    When asked about the film recently, David Picker told a friend of mine that UA thought there were sections of the film that were "deadly" and said to Kramer "If you don't cut this down, we will"So who knows? Perhaps no one here has a definitive answer, because there are legitimate contradictions...

    and to think this film is still not listed in the National Film Registry as a movie worth preserving!It would be nice to fix that on the films 50th year!

    "I will be so happy I will spin around 3 times and flip over the nearest bench!" Back in 1991,even though the copy we found had severe color problems and no audio, we tried to convince MGM/UA if we could record Sid & Edie doing their lines just in case, but Sid was scheduled for a hospital...

    Like everyone I hope someday we can see more footage in some form from this great movie.BTW, if you like "Mad World", please buy or rent "Genevieve", the 1953 film written by William Rose. In a way, I feel it is a more "perfect' film than "Mad World", and there are even a few scenes that remind...

    My only gripe about the Blu-Ray is that the darks are too dark as well. (and no entré act music!)In 1988, Stanley said at the Cinerama Dome at the film's 25th anniversary - "I think the film is long enough as it is, but I wish them luck and myself luck if we ever recover some of the things that...

    LOST HORIZON 1973 - The Complete Version

    Cinermamic, about DVD Verdict...For what it's worth, I put out a low-budget DVD some years ago, and DVD verdict slammed it to know end, and didn't want to stop. Fair Enough. Then I found out that the reviewer had a blog where he gave x-rated suggestions to my female cast. That was about 5 years...
