MY FAIR LADY

THE DEVILS

WEST SIDE SORY

 

[GMpasqua]

My Fair Lady belongs to CBS (now owned by Paramount)

West Side Story is a United Artists FIlm (Released on video through MGM/UA by FOX)


[COLOR= #ff0000]"The Devils"...[/COLOR]Warner Bros doesn't want to release "The Devils" For some reason a political film about the church is more distrubing to WB than "The Exorcist" even though the "Exorcist" is more graphic in it's views against the almighty

I Confess is one of the few films that compellingly explore true integrity, IMO. Not a great film, but a very good film with a real solid performance by Montgomery Clift.

Well said. I agree.

I've never understood why "I Confess" and "Stage Fright" are considered misfires. Both are fine films even if they aren't "Rear Window" or "North by Northwest". I revisited both on a double bill recently and they both hold up and provide the usual Hitchcock excitement. "Stage Fright" is only marred by Jane Wyman's miscasting as Alastair Sim's daughter, but once you accept that, it's got lots of Hitchcock humor and many of his typical touches. I especially love the sequence at the fair with Joyce Grenfell's "Lovely Ducks" routine, the bit with the stained doll and the confrontation with the mousy friend. And I, for one, have no problem with the controversial twist ending which I won't elaborate on here.

Yes, I love Stage Fright. And in its own much more serious way I Confess is quite good too.

My vote goes for "Tarzan and His Mate". Any chance to see Maureen O'Sullivan running around in that skimpy outfit in 1080P is good for me!!

[COLOR= #ff0000]"Mister Roberts"[/COLOR] is in desparate need of a remaster. This was one of the first DVD releases from Warner and it does not convert to HD very well (Also "Cabaret")


I would hope WB would release [COLOR= #ff0000]"Mister Roberts". [/COLOR]It is a widescreen color film, so if done correctly it should look okay. Don't know how many kids know who Jack Lemmon, James Cagney or Henry Fonda are anymore (I know WB employees who didn't know who James Cagney was and he helped build WB)

A James Cagney love scene is one where he lets the other guy live
