Your knowledge and championship of films has always been appreciated. Your patience and sometimes deserved sarcasm in some of your responses has also shown your humanity. You will be missed. Happy trails in TRUCOLOR!
Mr. Lime, regarding The Wild Heart, is this the Selznick re-edit, directed by Mamoulian, of the Archers' production originally titled Gone to Earth? There's such a difference between the two of them. I know since I saw them back-to-back at MoMA. And yes, the Technicolor is glorious.
The Garden of Allah (although an unintentional comedy) remains one of the most beautiful Technicolor movies I have ever seen. I saw it projected in Radio City Music Hall and it offered the most glorious eye candy ever. Dietrich never looked lovelier.

OH MY GOD! That's all I could say when I read about the dual release of Underground. To finally see the TV cut as well as the theatrical cut in one package! Many, many thanks!
Not only is One, Two, Three a great comedy with one of Cagney's best performances, but it also has a commentary by one of our members, the fabulous cadavra, Michael Schlesinger! Can't wait for his insights on this one!
I saw this film with my mother when I was 9 years old. The story was a bit adult for me (the characters' relationship, the failed rape scene). I knew something was amiss but the story stayed with me until years later I had an Eureka moment. Anyway, what made it most interesting was that Nathan...
Another "lost" RKO film! I read about this playing in France on Sept. 18 and was hoping someone would pick it up for domestic release. Thanks, Kino. This is indeed a surprise!
