One of the best openings on film in 70mm the pq should be fantastic from the 65mm. From one of the worlds best directors.
DOCTOR DOLITTLE is already is already on bluray. FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE fell badly at the box office.It was ,in my opinion,one of the most tedious 70mm films that I ever saw.trajan said:I could not agree more. This is my number one choice from Warner. Maybe Warner archives will come through. I thought we would never see the likes of GREAT RACE --WIND AND LION ---GYPSY, but we did. I hope we can get all the 70mm productions on blu. The roadshows are a very special breed that need to be seen in their best possible format. Are you listening Fox---TODD-AO of DOCTOR DOLITTLE ---STAR! Sony---LORD JIM---[SUPER PANAVISION 70] FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE --[ULTRA-PANAVISION 70.] I would even love to see a TODD-AO transfer of AIRPORT , but Universal will never do it. I saw AIRPORT at the Radio City Music Hall and it was very impressive in TODD-AO.
I agree - it is truly spectacular in sight and sound.. A pity that is was also one of David Lean's lesser efforts.It did move ever so slowly.Bill Huelbig said:Out of all the movies I love that haven't come out on Blu-ray yet, "Ryan's Daughter" is my #1 choice. A film so spectacular in sight and sound deserves nothing less than the best possible home video presentation.
The German release of DOLITTLE is very poor. I saw this film when it first came out in TODD-AO and a proper transfer would be amazing. Yes, FORE was a mess , but it would be interesting to see the grand sets in Ultra Panavion 70cinerama10 said:DOCTOR DOLITTLE is already is already on bluray.

Excellent News thanks.Ken Koc said:I bought the HDX of RYAN'S DAUGHTER on VUDU. Looks spectacular so it must have been restored.....I truly hope the Blu Ray comes soon!!!!!
I believe "Lord Jim" is out on BRD in France.trajan said:I could not agree more. This is my number one choice from Warner. Maybe Warner archives will come through.

I am not familiar with this - if you buy it can/must it then be stored on some proprietary device?Ken Koc said:I bought the HDX of RYAN'S DAUGHTER on VUDU. Looks spectacular so it must have been restored.....I truly hope the Blu Ray comes soon!!!!!
