One of the huge problems with AMFAS, and it goes all the way back to the play and then the screenplay, is that two entire musical numbers, initially titled Don't Rain on My Religious Ethics, and Everybody Ought to Have Another Wife, were eliminated in Hartford. And Ms Streisand's turn as the...

I can't comment upon what anyone else's eyes are seeing or how they relate to the visuals. I know what I see, and make my own judgments. My only other thought is that being at the mercy of Mr. Crisp's work can only be a positive thing as far as I'm concerned,

Possibly, or either an anomaly of processing or a dupe. RAH

Were prints of AHDN matted? I don't recall camera aperture, but matting causes problems, which is why most prints were left open, with MT as a guide to projection cutoff, along with whatever notes were available. RAH

If there's an asterisk attached to a 5 for image quality, best be prepared for something special.

Different matting. Not to confuse the issue, but it is best not to matte a printing neg (unless matte is in camera aperture). You don't want to put direct positive printing through an optical stage. Dye transfer is outside of this, as it is already optically produced printing matrices. RAH

I would bet that Nun's Story is in need of an expensive bit of work. RAH

Which was how it was played in Wolf Hall. Just another day at the palace...

Which?

There will be no disappointment with Hombre. Nice to have another of Mr. Newman's films on Blu. More on that when I've a chance.

If it's today here in the Colonies, is it yesterday or tomorrow in Oz? I'm on the east coast at the moment, so we're 12 hours out. But which way?

Not here. There's plenty of air in those deep shadows, and all the requisite detail that Ted Moore knew he desired when he exposed his film. Those who don't know the name Ted Moore, will know his work, among which: From Russia with Love, Goldfinger (there are those gorgeous golds again)...

For those who know, it is a known that any film restoration is only as good as the knowledge of those who oversee and approve as well as those who do the work in the trenches. I've been waiting impatiently for a quality Blu-ray on Fred Zinnemann's 1966 Academy Award winning Best Picture, and...
