Thanks for the heads up. The French poster artwork is more pleasing to my eyes than the one used for the U.S. release. Forgive my ignorance, was Habet and Hulme's partnership a romantic one or a platonic one?

I love the artwork chosen for this release. It's beautiful. I haven't seen this film. I will rectify the oversight with this release. I've been reading a lot about the novel and the many hurdles faced in adapting it into a film.

Shirley Knight was an actress who took chances. This film is one, 'Dutchman' is the other.

You're entitled to your opinion. But what's done is done. Get over it.

They cast Henderson because unlike other actors cast in movie musicals at that time she could actually sing the score!

Hartman was cast so against 'type' and she excelled....her 'Barbara Darling' was a self-absorbed diva-bitch. I love this film...and its 'Lovin' Spoonful' soundtrack. This is one of Karen Black's earliest film roles and she dated the "star" of the film; Peter Kastner.

I love Jean Seberg...what can I say? :)

As misguided as I find this adaptation of PYW to be what I do appreciate is the work done by the film's music department. I have no issues with the film's soundtrack (give or take one or two of the 'vocalists') but on the whole, it is a pretty impressive effort. That being said, I do own the...

I can't even take that "review" (and I use the term loosely) seriously when the "reviewer" did NOT do her homework and writes this: "Jean sings her number, 'A Million Miles Away Behind the Door" surprisingly well." LOL!! LOL!! LOL!!

Seriously? You think those of us who don't care or even like this movie are all 'superhero, action and dear god science fiction spectacle aficionados? Again, seriously? I've got news for you. I'm a huge musical theater fan. I graduated from the Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art...

This is great news. This has to be one of the more underrated comedies of the 1970s with a very well-deserved Best Supporting Actress Academy Award nomination for Candice Bergen who almost steals the film right from under Burt Reynolds and Jill Clayburgh. James L. Brook's first feature film...

I know what it is and I have every right to post my opinion on the matter. It's your right not to read my posts regardless of what your title on this forum may be. See how that works?

I don't understand why people are not patient to see how this all plays out and what this all entails instead of making up all kinds of unsubstantiated scenarios. People need to seriously chill.

So great that Sony is releasing this as a stand-alone and opted not to include it in one of their 4k UHD boxed sets. I'm looking forward to seeing the new transfer and listening to Georges Delereu's beautiful score in Dolby Atmos! I love this movie more than my luggage.

I just love a Jean Seberg movie musical.

Yeah, whatever happened to him?!?!?! As a Nuyorican male who grew up in the inner city housing projects, I found Hardball offensive. It has "white savior" trope written all over it.

...and Hardball, let's not forget about Hardball.

I have not yet seen this, but I do love Sofia Coppola as a director so I may just give this a spin. This film is actually the second adaptation of Priscilla's memoir, "Elvis and Me", the first being a 1988 mini-series for television starring Susan Walters as Priscilla and Dale Midkiff as Elvis...

Exactly. All the hand wringing and losing sleep over something that is so done and won't be changed. #BrokenRecord

This is the set where the "We Kiss In A Shadow" sequence was originally filmed. That "grass" looks like a carpet. Here is the same sequence re-filmed on the new set. Notice the more realistic foliage around Lun-Tha and Tuptim, and the addition of the cascading waterfall behind them.

And you know this how?

I love how people assign themselves the arbiter of other people's wants and needs...:rolleyes:

"It's A Puzzlement" was originally not going to be in the film. Fox decided to include it and it was - - - after principal photography had wrapped. The sequence of Anna and her son arriving in Bangkok and walking to the King's palace was another sequence that was shot after principal photography...

Cutting "I Have Dreamed" was just wrong-headed in my opinion. It is a gorgeous song. It would have deepened the tragedy of Tuptim and Lun Tha's ill-fated romance. If only that sequence had survived to be re-instated. It is such a shame that it is forever lost.

Oh wow! Nice find! I stand corrected! Moreno acquitted herself quite nicely! I take it all back! :) I wish they wouldn't have cut it. They deprived Moreno of her only solo. The song is only 2 minutes and 12 seconds long and it would have allowed Moreno to shine.

"Stop! I Don’t Wanna Hear It Any More" sung by Melanie from the film, R.P.M. (1970) - Songs/Score courtesy of Barry DeVorzon & Perry Botkin, Jr. It's a stinker.

Limited theatrical re-release is happening. Seeing this at the IFC here in NYC. Opens 01/19.

I love that Richard Amsel artwork...and that's a great cast!
