Composer John W. Morgan mentioned in the Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves thread that he's worked on redone scores for three items that will be out in September of this year, all (he says) as 2-Disc SE's:

The Adventures of Robin Hood (which is how it got brought up)
Yankee Doodle Dandy
...and Treasure of Sierra Madre!


So those of you putting ToSM on your want lists, you shant have long to wait! :wink:

P.S. - He also mentions the Korngold score for Marco Polo, appearing on DVD around the same time.

P.P.S. - Peter Staddon has said (I'm sure it was in the last chat) that One Million Years B.C. is coming this year, too.

 

[Lew Crippen]

As I reread, Walter had already mentioned many of the missing Sturges films. And I just read Ron’s review of Sunrise, so that one should be stricken from the list..

 

[ChuckDeLa]

And I just read Ron’s review of Sunrise, so that one should be stricken from the list..

Not necessarily... though available, you have to buy 3 other DVDs to get it.

One From The Heart
(Zoetrope Studios)
I want a deluxe, extra special edition, befitting this beautiful and brilliant film. It's special, and all the awful stuff that happened because people were too freaking stupid to realize what a gem it is doesn't change that. Zoetrope shouldn't blame the film for what happened to the studio. It WILL have its day, but not until it gets out of the vaults and onto DVD, and the DVD release is treated with the respect it deserves. IOW, I want it on DVD, but it'd be a shame to just dump it. It deserves better. I want features on all aspects of the film and the music and the filmmaking process. I want commentary. I want interviews. I want everything humanly possible. People will heckle, but they're the sad and pathetic ones. People with heart and imagination and an appreciation of grown-up musical fantasy will discover it, and fall in love with it, and thank you, Zoetrope.

[Scott Weinberg]

Wow! That was quick! See how powerful this list is ALREADY?

Watch me snap my fingers and get a Widescreen SE of Evilspeak. Heh.

Just about everything has been added so far. I had to take a step back from Patrick's post because it confuses me a lot.

I think I'll have to respectfully veto Animated Shorts from the list - at least for now. (Plus I thought Ben-Hur was already ON DVD!)

 

[Walter Kittel]

Patrick is referring to the silent version of Ben-Hur from 1925, which isn't on DVD.

- Walter.

 

[Scott Weinberg]

I knooooooow, Walt! That's why I donedid added tha Winkin Face.

I will be adding Patrick's picks.

Just not tonight.

 

[Walter Kittel]

Ooops! This darn text-based messaging.

- Walter.
