Thank you Warner Brothers for bringing some much needed happiness into my life. This announcement has certainly lifted my spirits. I'm another who had written this title off, but to get the matted version as well is totally beyond belief. Doug.

The Fox "Movietone" 35mm Cinemascope shorts in my collection are all Optical and have now turned a gorgeous shade of DeLuxe pink. The shorts themselves have dated but are still of great historic and nostalgic value. Yes a Blu-ray collection would be fabulous, but unfortunately the discs would...

Thanks Bob, I've just placed my order. This promises to be the most exciting event of the year. (along with Kiss Me Kate of course) Doug.

My comprehensive posting regarding the career of Bert May can be found on the thread, "HELLO DOLLY!" (1969) Page 10 - post number #189 Sorry, but I'm not sure how to link that older posting into this thread. Bert in the 1940s. Doug.

I'm amazed that no one here has mentioned the movie's show-stopper number complete with it's encore. "BRUSH UP YOUR SHAKESPEARE" Wonderfully performed by Keenan Wynn and James Whitmore (with a glimpse of Hermes Pan) featuring Cole Porter's brilliant Music and Lyrics plus the fabulous Conrad...

Just over 50 years, I'm guessing it's not from the golden era but maybe from a handful of early 60s titles. "September Storm"? "Adam and Six Eves"? "Paradisio"? or "The Bellboy and the Playgirls"? "September Storm" would be the most interesting of that bunch as it was shot in 2.35:1...

Still hoping that "YOU CAN'T RUN AWAY FROM IT" will make it's way to DVD. I'm not sure why this well cast Musical remake of "IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT" has been so far neglected. Doug.

Great interview Bob. I enjoyed it immensely. Next June can't come quickly enough. The 3D Rarities will be a real joy. Doug.

I seem to remember a response from a Paramount Executive on this forum a couple of years ago stating that "One Eyed Jacks" would not be considered because the market was already flooded with PD copies. This is one title that deserves to be rescued from PD Hell. Doug.

Wow, finally Jerome Kern's beautifully melodic "HIGH, WIDE AND HANDSOME" Next to Kern's "Centenial Summer" it's always been one of my most anticipated DVD releases. It has a most charming score and Irene Dunne sings sublimely. I've yet to see a decent print on TV so hopefully this will be a...

My biggest wish is that "ONE EYED JACKS" can be rescued from PD Hell. Olive films might be our only chance. There was a really nice looking print of 'Father' run on Pay TV here a couple of years ago. (for locals it was shown on Bill Collins' Classics) Doug.

I'd like to see Olive Films release "BEAU JAMES" Bob Hope and VistaVision. After releasing "Dragonfly Squadron" in 3D. It would be sensational if OLIVE FILMS tackled some of Paramount's 3D titles. "Those Redheads From Seattle" and "Sangaree" for starters. Doug.

"Miss Sadie Thompson" without a doubt. Rita in Technicolor and 3D, yes please. Doug.

Thanks for that Steve. I'm now guessing that the copy on YouTube might well be taken from that UK DVD. It certainly isn't the Korean disc as the quality of that disc is inferior. YouTube also has the B&W behind the scenes feature which is on the UK disc, so I'm now convinced of where it has come...

One Powell-Pressburger film that seems to be missing in action is "GONE TO EARTH" As far as I can find out it's only available on a fairly average Korean DVD. Like all Powell-Pressburger films the colour is luscious and Jennifer Jones likewise. It was strangely missing from the Studio Canal /...
