I asked TT if any more roadshows were in the works after EXODUS and they said yes. Take your pick I hope we finally see the TODD-AO credit back in DOCTOR DOLITTLE if it is one of them.

I might be the only entity on the planet who wants Twilight Time to release The Gorgon, The Curse of the Mummy's Tomb, and The Two Faces of Dr Jekyll on blu ray. Twilight Time, is there any way you can tell me these films are taken care of at some point in the future?

I might add that I'd imagine the only way TT would ever theoretically do this would do this would be as a pair of double features with one of the 3 above paired with... Terror of the Tongs, I guess?

I don't think it falls within TT's purview, but The Last Valley would be most welcome and probably prove to be very popular. I saw it in 70mm on its initial run and also - in later years - The National Media Museum's surviving 70mm print a few times at Bradford, here in England, but it's gone pink, now. Great film.

Me too! I've posted those titles a few times (& The Terror Of The Tongs). Sony's DVD's looked great (& had, mastered in HD on the box). I saw The Gorgon & The Curse Of The Mummy's Tomb at the pictures, they were released as a double bill in the UK.

That would be either Can Can or Doolittle if from Fox .
The only road show I can think of from MGM/UA would be Goodbye Mr Chips or Hallelujah Trail.Oh, hopefully not " The most boring story ever told "!
Sony could be Lord Jim, Barabbas or Mackenna's Gold.
Best would be Barabbas for me. A very underrated film that looked spectacular in 70.The DVD is a mess.
Can Can is a better film than Doolittle but would love to see the original version of Doolittle that was previewed and then cut.
I would get any ( or hopefully all )of them .
Even you know what, as that did have the most superb lighting and camera work although Mr Stevens seemed to forget everything that made him a director to be reckoned with!!

I did see a 70mm extract on the Cinerama screen this year at Bradford and yes the colour has gone but the 6-track stereo with the John Barry score was wonderful.

Star! was also a Todd-AO film. I think it and Doctor Dolittle are far better than Can-Can, but that's personal preference.
