I'm glad to see the support for Betty Hutton's interpretation. As wonderful as Judy would have been, the role of Annie Oakley had Hutton's name all over it.

Or, as I call it, The Raymond Rohauer Syndrome.

Two thumbs up on both Angelo. It's also worth seeking out the accompanying book WHEN THE LION ROARS; it's a nice supplement to the series.

Nailed it! That was my first thought.

I can't recommend this enough. Great comedy satire. I've watched it countless times, and still laugh at it. It's my go-to film when I don't know what i want to watch, or if i just need a good laugh.

This is a very perceptive review. I had exactly the same reaction when I saw it: George Reeves' story was compelling enough to warrant its own telling.

The dubbing list is fascinating. Some observations: 1. Boy, Marni Nixon was busy! 2. THE BENNY GOODMAN STORY (1955): Manny Klein for Ziggy Elman (trumpet) - wait, what?!? Ziggy played the fralich-style solo on "And the Angels Sing" (with BG and also his own band). Manny Klein was a boss...

Brought to you by Carl's, Jr. Keeping on topic, I'll go with MARTY (1955); excellent movie, but really painful to me when I owned it on CED disc some 35 years ago. Being hopelessly single at the time, I think it hit too close to home. I'll also add THE MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS (1942). A great...

IIRC, I think the general rule of thumb is, most WAC DVD titles are DVD-R. BluRay titles are usually "traditionally pressed" (I'm sorry, I don't know what the technical term is - what I mean is, they're manufactured just like the BluRays you'd buy in Walmart, Costco, etc.). Some WAC DVDs...

Yes! Use the Warners model - release it intact, with the disclaimer "that was wrong then, and it's still wrong today". For God's sake, don't tell anyone Donald Duck isn't wearing pants!

Here's hoping we can someday see John Nesbitt's PASSING PARADE, or the CAREY WILSON MINIATURES.

Let's hear it for Mish-Mosh the Muttonhead!

Pardon my ignorance, but is there a way to tell if a disc is pressed versus DVD-r?

IIRC, this was a Paramount release, so it's likely Universal owns it. Maybe it'll be in their Vault series someday...

Well, I lucked out. I'm in northwestern NJ, and it's snowing (about 4-5 inches thus far). And my letter carrier made it. I just read the booklet and map (loved the illustrations on both!). Fortunately, I'm down the road from a firehouse, so our street is always well-and frequently-plowed. Sorry...

...maybe he's a Druid!

He cahhn't see? Must be an eye cold...

At the risk of sounding like a mercenary rat, I just canceled my Criterion pre-order (sorry, guys), and used the HTF link (thanks, Ron!) Out of loyalty to this fine - and entertaining - group, I thought it was the proper thing to do. Here's hoping for a big pre-order push...there's enough for...

Hi gang! I reached my quota of positive comments today as of page one, so let me say "LIKE" to each and every one of you. This is going to be well worth the wait. Our patience was duly rewarded, and a big hug to Robert and Ronald, our beloved standard-bearers!

Aw, this is too bad...see, my grandmother is dying in Oxnard, and I was kinda hoping she could see this before she goes...otherwise she won't go...

Or, as has been suggested elsewhere... Jimmy Durante = Buster Keaton ("Smiler" Grogan, yet!) Sorry, I did the Sterling Holloway - Ed Wynn (the Fire Chief), forgetting that had already been listed. Well, shut my mouth!

I think wiser heads than mine have said the UA logo didn't often appear much. Partly because relatively few UA films were produced by UA, per se (they were mostly a distribution outfit, originally); I don't think the UA logo really appeared regularly until the Transamerica days.

OK, I think this takes the lead for hand-down funniest thread comment!

There's been so much talk about the shape this release will take. All I can add is, we figured this 15 different ways, and no matter HOW we figured it, somebody didn't like the way we figured it! So there's only ONE way to figure it - EVERY man, INCLUDING the old bag, for HIMSELF!

But remember, you get that share all by yourself, and that's tax-free, my friend.

I think it was a You Tube link to a recording of the police calls...

"Double uuuuuuuu, doooooouuuubbblle uuuuuuuuuu..."

All right, we all agree on that...there's enough bonus footage for you, and for you, and for me...and for...(running for amazon.com).

After much internal deliberation, please let me state this: I'm just so glad that this film has had such a devoted following. I'm really pleased that this announcement has gotten so much favorable attention. When this edition does come out, I think I'll be happy with whatever form it takes (as...

...would this be a scene where Billy Zane turns up again? (I'm getting ready to duck)
