I was at the performance of "Shows for Days" when Patti Lupone snatched a cell phone from a woman's hand as Patti made her exit. The woman had been looking at her phone for a long while, and the screen was bright enough to illuminate the stage slightly during scene changes. So rude. This was at...

Fortunately, those productions of South Pacific and K&I were recorded for PBS. Both videos rotate in and out of BroadwayHD.com (K&I is available right now). There is a fee for that site, but there is a free trial period, you just have to cancel before it expires. Both South Pacific and K&I are...

So at what point is a 65mm image captured in its entirety? I am sincerely curious. If a 4k scan captures literally every bit of image detail, what is the point of going higher? Or is 8k really the better choice to leave nothing behind?

That is still in print. https://www.amazon.com/dp/0440974836/ref=rdr_ext_sb_ti_hist_1

Yes, Willson's novelization of The Music Man is very entertaining.

Looking for a book that was eluding me, I inadvertently came across my copy of the novelization of My Fair Lady, written by Monica Dickens, great-granddaughter of Charles. I typically do not bother with novelizations, as they tend to be the screenplay dialogue with literal descriptions of the...

I ran across my copy of the March 1998 American Movie Classics magazine, featuring My Fair Lady. This was when AMC was a great channel and a precious resource for film fans. It was one of the few places to see films in OAR other than laserdisc.

Yes! And 7.1!

I had a three hour gap in my day, so I took the opportunity to watch the new blu all the way through without having to pause (although I did take an intermission). Of course the video is fantastic, but I am blown away by the sound - I can't believe how good it sounds. An awesome disc in every...

As an observation, it seems that only the "big" musicals like MFL and Sound of Music had the songs dubbed in other languages. In most musical films, the dialogue is dubbed but the songs revert to the original English tracks.

Most of the Restoration Credits are self-explanatory, but I have to ask: what do the "Flame Artist" and "Dark Energy Artist" do? They sound more like Lord of The Rings!

It is pouring rain in Henderson, NV today and it reminds me of a memorable viewing of My Fair Lady. It was in 1987 at my home, then near Los Angeles. After months of scrimping and saving, I had purchased a Pioneer 50 inch rear projection set. I am sure we would all be dismayed by the picture...

I have always felt like that was a bit of an editing mistake. We see the shadow move into place, and then we see Eliza walk into that place. It seems like her movement in the shot should be what created the shadow.

Yes, I agree totally with how you feel. I am often torn between wanting to show support for these screenings versus feeling that I can have just as good (and often better) experience at home. Whereas in a city like New York or L.A., a screening of a classic film may be at least somewhat common...

I saw MFL yesterday at a Cinemark theater in Las Vegas. It was wonderful, with two caveats. First, it was in the very smallest auditorium, and secondly, it was shown with no masking, so it had that letterboxed video look. That being said, I was very pleased otherwise and it was definitely the...

Thanks a lot, Mr. Harris. My face hurts from smiling for three solid hours. Perfect.
