Anybody else having problems seeing Mary, Bert & the penguins?

There are sooooo many great titles this week! This is one of my biggest weeks of purchases in a long time. I'm usually lucky to get more than one or two new releases in any given week. But, this week may just break my bank.

I've got to make special note of a sleeper on this week's release list. Anyone who likes musicals...specifically Rodgers and hammerstein musicals is going to want to make special note of the release of Cinderella this week. It is the original B&W kinescope recording of the LIVE broadcast R&H musical from 1957 starring Julie Andrews. Some of you may have seen the 1964 CBS color re-make which used to air annually on the TIffany network starring Leslie Anne Warren, Stuart Damon, Ginger Rogers, Walter Pigeon, Celeste Holm, Jo Van Fleet, etc. This is the original. I have never seen it. Although the soundtrack has been around...it was believed any visual record of it was lost to the atmosphere upon its first airing.

Just don't anyone try to get to my copy before I do!

 

[Dane Marvin]

Great prices from BB this week. I'll be getting ROTK EE there for sure. And probably Mary Poppins.

Thanks for the prices, Mike & Patrick!

 

[Tim Glover]

ROTK-EE
Poppins
Collateral

Top Gun

Thanks as always, guys!



Not if yer buying Star Trek: The Complete Series! CC is even worse! Would'a thought they might have a special deal with all three seasons packaged together. I'm glad I didn't go that route.

Tuesday it will be...
ROTK Gift set for me and EE for someone else's gift! Other titles will have to wait until after Christmas.

I am.

 

[EricSchulz]

Generally, the first couple weeks of the New Year are pretty good for sales...they want those that got new DVD players for Christmas to stock up on discs! Besides, January is a traditional month for places like Target, K-Mart, etc to run their "Dollar Sale" promotions.

Gotta get Mary Poppins after reading the review posted in the Software forum!

 

[Brenda M]

This is the week I have been waiting for! LOTR:ROTK EE gift and Mary Poppins of course.

Thanks

The liner notes for the soundtrack for the 1957 Cinderella
states that the telecast was not saved, but then I saw a
clip of it as an example of Julie Andrews singing as a lead
in to the chapter about The Sound of Music in the doc.
called The Sound of Movies about Rodgers & Hammerstein.
From what I can remember, I did some emailing and found out
that the 1957 was telecast on the east coast and then on the
west coast. It was the west coast airing that was saved.
The clip from the documentary is "flat" like most old TV
recordings, but I will be glad to have the whole film!

 

[Casey Trowbridg]

With ROTK and Everybody Loves Raymond on the Christmas list, this week isn't bad for me.

Probably Family Guy, and maybe Mary Poppins as well.

 

[Chris S]

Thanks Mike and Patrick, great work as always!

ROTK:EE, Mary Poppins, & Collateral for me. I highly suggest that anyone who likes more intellegent action films at least give Collateral a rent. You won't be dissapointed.

O'yea and I too am having trouble seeing the image for MP.

Chris S.

 

[Chad A Wright]

Just Top Gun, Collateral, and Return of the King this week. I'm waiting until after Christmas to buy the Star Trek sets. I might get one or two, so I can be patient.

 

[TonyD]

if you cant see the pic, have you tried that yet?

 

[Mike Frezon]

All righty. I have re-linked Mary, Bert and the penguins. Hopefully all is well now.

LMK if you see 'em okay.



Yup. There's one in every crowd. And, Dennis, you clearly are that one.

 

[Malcolm R]

I really hate this time of year as a DVD collector. There are so many titles I want at fantastic prices, but I have to put a bunch of them on Christmas want lists for the 'rents and such.

Then I have to wait and see what they've purchased off the lists.

And then, by the time I find out what they did not buy, all the great sales are over.

And aren't the ROTK lines reversed in the first post? Perhaps I just haven't watched it enough times. Or Mike's had too much fruitcake.

 

[Dome Vongvises]

Thanks for the roundup Mike and Patrick.

LOTR EE Giftset and Top Gun for me.

 

[Mike Frezon]

Malcolm: I'm pretty sure it was Gandalf who sang "Jolly Holiday"!

"When a day is grey and ordinary....Frodo makes the sun shine bright!"

 

[Chris_Morris]

Those interested in the Cinderella may like to know that PBS is going to show this tomorrow night 12/13 (check your local listings for time). According to TV Guide, it was originally aired in color, but only the B/W kinescopes survived.
