Mamet's role in polishing the screenplay was known right from the start but he claimed to have used the pseudonym precisely so as to not detract from J.D. Zeik's work as the original author, who was making his debut.

THE BIG CLOCK is available on a decent Blu-ray edition in Germany - see the caps-a-holic DVD vs Blu-ray comparison here.

As far as I can tell, the Llamentol releases of the Brett Holmes series are not bootlegs. The rights holders are all properly credited on the back of the discs (in this case, ITV Studios is properly credited on the licensor) and, more to the point, their releases predated the US releases by MPI...

Why are you saying Sinister are not a legit company? What exactly are you basing your statement on? They have released a lot of content that is available exclusively from them, including in HD, such as DONNA DEL LAGO, a genuine obscurity. And also, on a personal note,why all the ad hominen BS...

The Italian Blu-ray of NIGHT OF THE DEMON that I have was released by Sinister Film, which as far as I am aware is a completely legit and reputable company.

Love those recordings - however, GWTW was not the only album devoted to a single film score as KING'S ROW also got the solo treatment: http://www.amazon.com/Kings-Re-recording-Erich-Wolfgang-Korngold/dp/B000003TF5/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&qid=1419966046&sr=8-15&keywords=king%27s+row

Mitchum is good casting but was much better in the role in Dick Richards' 1975 version of Farewell My Lovely. Michael Winner's film is very faithful to the book, much more so that Hawks ever was. On the whole though he doesn't really succeed in making it work on his own terms, and not just for...

This was a standard theatrical release (albeit based on the TV show of the same name) so would have been 1.85:1 - most home video releases, derived from VHS-era masters, have been open matte.

For my money the best version currently available on DVD, in terms of PQ, is the anamorphic one out on DVD in Italy which also has the isolated score play from a separate menu.

It would be great to see "You'll Never Get Rich" (and "You Were Never Lovelier") make it to HD (even if it isn't a Capra movie).

I respect Bob's hard work in the area but, with regards to his use of the quote from the Roobarb forum about watching Quatermass in 4 x 3 (and no, I didn't make it, Alan Hayes did, and he is a very smart and knowledgeable man) I'd like to add my three pennies worth. I do think that the original...

If only life were so simple ...

Or palpitations even ... :)

I wish someone would add a question mark to the subject title of this thread - everytime I see it I get palpitions!
