Shawn,
Thanks for a great read on your experience about one of my favorite actresses. As a boy, I fell in love with her screen presence.

Wow!
Yes, Shawn, thanks a lot for sharing this awesome experience with us. You can't imagine how much I envy you, my friend!
Did you notice if the film had been restored or did it look it needed a touch up?
BTW, did this event appear in the news?

Fasten your seatbelts!

Re: The Heiress SE?

Wow.

Thanks Shawn for sharing all that wonderful detail! What an experience... and to hear her talk in person. I'm in awe!

Your wonderful essay has given the rest of us a sense of having experienced the moment... that's such a great gift and is the perfect example of the kind high-class posts so cherrished at this site. THANKS!

If I could have this film in high-def along with To Each His Own I'd be *such* a happy HT camper...

Re: The Heiress SE?

Alejandro,

The print was clear and sharp, with only occasional specks appearing onscreen. I don't know if further restoration will take place for a DVD, but this one looked really good overall, certainly presentable enough for a DVD release.

The main coverage I found of the event was through the link in Jonathan's post, which gave an overview of the tribute and listed a schedule for all the films that were shown during the week following the tribute.

P.S.- I also found a nice LA Times interview with de Havilland:

Re: The Heiress SE?

Thank you so much, Shawn, for the detailed recollection of the evening. THE HEIRESS is one of the real greats, and it's one of the more neglected movies of the past 60 years, too, so nothing would give me greater pleasure to see it come into its own at some future (hopefully soon) date.
