As usual I echo Ed, what a lovely bunch of films. A couple of years ago the TV channel Film Four (UK) showed The Greatest Show On Earth in HD, but something was wrong, it looked worse than the DVD, like an uprez. gone wrong. Well three weeks ago they showed it again, I set my TiVo to record it just in case...& what a lovely surprise when I saw it, this time it's the real deal, sharp, solid colours, clean picture, in fact all bang on (I watched it over the weekend), so it's all there ready to release.Ed Lachmann said:Just a hope and prayer that they remember the older classic fans and those that enjoy the historical epics. Even if it's only a very few, could we hope for the likes of HELEN OF TROY, LAND OF THE PHARAOHS, THE SILVER CHALICE, SCARAMOUCHE, AUNTIE MAME, IVANHOE and the '53 JULIUS CAESAR. Among the wonderful Paramount titles they have, could one dream of THE ROSE TATTOO, THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH, THE NAKED JUNGLE, LADY IN A CAGE and GOODBYE LITTLE SHEBA as blu-rays? As for fans complaining about BD releases, for me there is one and only one that really is truly upsetting, Universal's SPARTACUS. Keep 'em coming WB!
