Talk about that "It" factor and the small town girl. There was this breakfast diner that I frequented in the early 90's. My waitress was an Ado Annie incarnate and, of course, was quite popular with all. Gloria Grahame WAS a great actress, as she comically captured this kind of character...

...and that ain't good, when one considers that the main event takes place on the sands of a beach.:D

I did the upgrade on day one; which is rarely a practice of mine. Trust me, you won't even remember the extra you've spent and all of that will wash away upon the opening credits.:thumbs-up-smiley:

"Joyous", said Josh. Truly a perfect word to describe both "The Quiet Man" and Olive's improvements from their earlier transfer. DavidJ - PLEASE NOTE: You specifically want to look for the BD edition of "The Quiet Man" that states: Olive Signature. Avoid the other, if its still on the shelves...

But, Josh, "every now and then" is also a part of the fun, as well. BTW, I'm liking the path(s) of this journey you've so kindly shared with us. Of the Beatles film? I was just pointing out in advance to those who haven't bought it yet that the true "blind buy" is not the Ron Howard film...

In this rare case, I would find it hard to qualify this film as a "Blind Buy". To begin, anyone purchasing this film would clearly be a Beatle fan. And then you have to factor in that its a Ron Howard film. Add to that equation, why would Ron Howard invest this much effort, research and time...

You're assumptions were correct. And, recently, I've decidedly jumped on the Cary Grant bandwagon. In the past, if I had a Cary Grant film in the collection, it was never due to his billing. It was usually due to the film or director, itself. But then, last week, something clicked in a...

Right you are, Josh. Everything sighted and spotted counts. This is a great project you've got going and I dare say that whatever few bucks remain in my savings after WAC and TT purchases will soon be depleted, due to you. But that's okay by me; as I know that little gets by your critical...

To clarify on The French Connection BD's, the original 1971 color timing is found under the banner of The Director's Signature Series from FOX. That's the one to see first. As for that blood looking fake, I know what you're saying. I've seen so many incarnations of The French Connection; and...

Yes, a fellow Beatlemaniac, fer sure. I am no longer on "Trial"; as I went back and corrected the spelling. The only "Trail" of evidence that remains is your quote box; which now makes it a collector's item.:lol: P.S. Envious of Josh; both for his home theater set-up and for coming up with a...

Ah, yes, but which French Connection BD is Carabimero speaking of? And which French Connection BD is owned by Josh's mom? Talk about Blind Buys; as one BD has the controversial revisionism of color by William Friedkin, while the other BD that followed has the original color from 1971. I always...

"Once I was BLIND, but now I see".:3dglasses: Love this thread, Josh; but I think you're short-cutting just a tad bit; at least on this title. That 2nd disc is no filler...and you'll be more than Please, Pleased.:thumbs-up-smiley: BTW, nice to know that "The Big Trail" passes your eye; as I feel...
