I did not know about the Universal films. Are they out yet? What are the titles in Spanish? I did pick up 40 Pounds of Trouble and Blindfold. Both anamorphic.
I guess the good news is the the contract between Goldwyn and MGM does not last much longer. It would be interesting to see Lost Horizon (73) on DVD. It was always an interesting experiment for that time.Originally Posted by Joe Caps /img/forum/go_quote.gif
Hi Mike in Autralia. Thanks for the compliments. Don't kow about columbias plans for Horizon. BTW, the negative for 1776 was never lost. Some prick at columbia claimed they didn't know where it was. Hooray for Hollywood.
I think the Peggy Cummings footage still existed as of 1989, but all of that stuff was moved and who knows if they junked it?
Don't know about a collector having the uncut ending. Very unlikely. The film was cut early in its originla run- fox sent out new beginnings and endings with a deman that the originals be sent back.
Porgy and Bess is with MGM but they don't want to spend the money required to restore the film, as the contract with Goldwyn does not last much longer.

You have to be careful. I bought the Fox western "Rio Conchos", nice transfer, but it zooms in from 2:35 to 16:9 after the titles. I also got the Warner title "Teahouse Of The August Moon", just awful, non-anamorphic with a smeary picture (I understand the R1 disc was very good). You can safely buy "The Egyptian" which looks & sounds terrific. I was going to buy "Gold Diggers Of 1933" (the R1 is now very expensive), but after Teahouse, I'd like to read a review first.
