I hope in a future bluray set that "One Moment Please", the other L&H color film will be included as it also was restored by UCLA in the early 2010's: I find it a very poignant film, a 4 minute home movie (not mean't to be seen by anyone other than the teenager seen in the early scenes, Andy...

DVD sets redone? In 2020, it will take a miracle for any set to be redone -- period, I'm sorry to say.... Possibly incomplete series on dvd (for example, Paramount's The Beverly Hillbillies) could be redone (well, rearranged) when all the single seasons have been released and they are all...

Absolutely Frank -- the founding members of the Sons of the Desert were Orson Bean, Al Kilgore, John McCabe, Chuck McCann and John Municino -- sadly Orson was the last man standing. My one hope is that the contents of the Sons of the Desert disc isn't completely locked right now and there is...

Tino you're lucky you got that -- here in Australia we got only the pan and scan version of Mister Roberts -- never released on dvd in this country in widescreen, ever -- WHV down here released only a fraction of the product the rest of the world got and to this day (Mar 2019) only reissues on...

Make Room For Daddy, as many complete seasons available and all in one set -- also Gilligan's Island on bluray in a series set, the complete run of Car 54 Where Are You in a complete series dvd set and for the hell of it, a complete set of the early reality/documentary series of the 1960s, Four...

Sorry to say this, but like Steven Spielberg, I consider those streaming service releases what used to be classed as tv movies rather than theatrical films -- I sincerely hope this gets a run in theatres and is available on bluray as well.

Just found about this on the HTF just now -- truly sad news -- for me, seeing a Sam Peckinpah movie is not complete without sitting through it again and listening to Nick and friends' commentary track -- am amazed to this day that the different studios who owned the rights to these movies would...

Out of curiosity, the Russico dvd set from the early 2000s, pretty good considering what they had to work with -- was that 16x9 version of the 2;20;1 70mm surviving prints?

Outstanding movie, opening down here in Australia next week -- the reception the movie got in the UK was huge (considering the weather), saw it last November as part of a British film festival and everyone in the theatre clapped at the end -- haven't seen that for a long time. As a huge L&H fan...

The fact that this epic has been restored is cause enough for celebration -- according to the press kit for the restoration, sad to read that no 70mm materials in 2:20:1 ratio have survived and that it is now a 35mm restoration and the aspect ratio is 2:35:1...

Title: War and Peace Genre: War, Drama, History, Romance Director: Sergey Bondarchuk Cast: Sergey Bondarchuk, Lyudmila Saveleva, Vyacheslav Tikhonov, Oleg Efremov, Vasili Lanovoy, Anastasiya Vertinskaya, Anatoli Ktorov, Irina Skobtseva, Antonina Shuranova, Oleg Tabakov, Vladislav...

Sad to say that the reason Angela Lansbury was passed over for "Mame" was because of the relative box office disappointment of Disney's "Bedknobs and Broomsticks" -- WB could have also recast "Mame" when in pre-production when Lucy broke her leg in a skiing accident and they put the production...

Well said Arthur -- I'm in Australia and have had the excellent Universal-UK set released here a few years ago as well as the 20th Century Fox sets -- and yes, the restored BOTC I hope does get the release it deserves. This may be old news already but here's some news that might brighten your...

Could these new UCLA restorations be part of this collection? I suspect they'll be probably be the 2004 transfers now on bluray (including the jumpcut in the middle of "Trail of the Lonesome Pine" in "Way Out West") -- they are great versions of these movies and look best on big displays --...

Don't care what state the episodes are in -- am going to get the set for only the first season -- I am a huge Joe Flynn fan and he was one of the stars of the show and got so many laughs in the first season, Joey fired him after the first 12 shows and ordered that not only his episodes be...
