much of the sound on the laserdisc song used the multrack record master from Columbia.

I hope they do a blu of Pr9ince and the Pauper. The sd has good PQ but the sound is terrible.

Peter Hunht told me several times that Betty Buckley was not used because she had been a pain to work with.

Radio City did not gear up for any 70mm showings until Airpoirt.

be niche if they included thw intermission and entracte on lord jim.

Am trying to watch this now. this is the worst transfer of any major spectacle. Youd think Sony would be ashamed to have it out there. The stereo track was copies from a collectors print. that print was technicolor and looked glorious. What oare the chances that Sony will restore this?

I got to meet Gene Nelson at a reception gathering to celebrate a new doc, Rodgers and Hammerstein, the sound of thei movies. He looked as if he had not aged at all. Also met John Kerr there. Hal Derwin recorded with doris in a few other movies 0 in My dream is Yours he sings for Lee...

Ther is one reason to watch this - Ansel Elgort who I think is excellent AND VERY MOVING.

The 90minute behind the scenes is frquently embarrassing to hear. Speilberg frequently says this is not a remake of the 61 film but goes back to the broadwway show original. Lies. He uses almost all of the changes from the film and adds many more.

one shot on the bd just shows a traffic llight swithing from red to green, the new bd has the light switching from red to pure blue.

which sound track are they using? the way to tell - when darby is playing his fiddle for the little people he does the countdown in gallic in the original and in english in the redone track.

At one time, there was supposed to be a widescreen release of The Miracle. But restoration had to be done. that was finished a couple of years ago. What is the holdup?

They would also have to go back to the mono reel one. When mgm did the first sd laserdisc, they used the soundtrack album for the Main title music in stereo. they still do - the original main title had a 50 plus orchjetra and a 35 piece chorus. the record al;bum only used about 22 players...

concerning Plymouth Adventure - looking at the current transfer, you would never know that it and Ivanhoe were made in the same year.

among the spectaculars not previously mentioned - Prince and the Pauper ( errol flynn) Plymouth Adventure ( this could use a Technicolor restoration) Shoes of the Fisherman
