Luke: Is that a wish list? Or did you find some information that's not mentioned here?lukejosephchung said:The new 4k restorations of "Oklahoma!"(1955)in 65mm Todd-AO AND Cinemascope, "The King & I"(1956), "Carousel"(1956) and BOTH versions of "State Fair"??? Been waiting for the R&H Estate & Fox to put these out on blu-ray since the introduction of the format 8 years ago!!!
Been keeping track of this project via multiple sources...HTF member Jamie Finn posts updates about this joint R&H/Fox blu-ray project here and I've also been getting updates via the Rodgers & Hammerstein Estate's website..."Oklahoma!" is being re-released theatrically this spring in 4k, sourced from the original 65mm Todd-AO camera negatives, so it stands to reason that the rest of the catalog has been receiving the same treatment over the past 7-8 years!!!Mike Frezon said:Luke: Is that a wish list?

Giovanni- this means absolutely nothing. Amazon (UK) had it listed over 2 years ago and it was due for release in October 2012.Nothing eventuated. Don't get too excited as the collection is a long way off- maybe a year or more. There has been no sign of THE KING AND I,STATE FAIR (The original) nor CAROUSEL being restored for bluray. They were to be included in the set (along with South Pacific and Oklahoma.).Keep dreaming!Giovanni DN said:
You're paying for EIGHT separately-filmed movies...both "State Fair" & "Oklahoma!" were done TWICE!!!bigshot said:$140 is WAY too much money.
Yeah, but some of us have two of them already and I'm not sure Oklahoma should be considered two separate films.lukejosephchung said:You're paying for EIGHT separately-filmed movies...both "State Fair" & "Oklahoma!" were done TWICE!!!
Exactly. Personally, I am only interested in Oklahoma and the original State Fair, so I hope when this does get officially announced the titles will be released separately, too.Robert Crawford said:Yeah, but some of us have two of them already and I'm not sure Oklahoma should be considered two separate films.
I got the cinemascope Oklahoma! as well as the Todd AO version when they were each available on Laserdisc.Robert Crawford said:Yeah, but some of us have two of them already and I'm not sure Oklahoma should be considered two separate films.
