I have not seen this film since its theatrical release, but would love to revisit it. Very fine film. Although the ending varies drastically from the book (I'm giving no details, to avoid spoilers) it absolutely works for telling this story as a movie.

I don't remember Day singing the song again after that scene, although I admit I haven't watched the movie for quite a while. Wasn't it her final, not penultimate, performance of the song in the movie? "Ribald"?

This discussion about Indy being irrelevant to the plots of the films is, to me, ridiculous. It's like saying that Jack and Rose are irrelevant to the plot of Titanic because the boat would have sunk without them anyway.

I didn't care for Branagh's Orient Express, but I did enjoy Death on the Nile (even though it lacked the feel of an Agatha Christie story). I'm sure someday I will watch A Haunting in Venice, but I was extremely put off by the trailer. It seemed to be entirely unrelated to the source material...

... who bears an uncanny resemblance to Midge ...

Actually the film contains--and was designed to contain--a number of standard (change of camera angle) cuts, and these occur at projection reel changes. The hidden cuts occur at the midpoint of each of the projection reels.

General knowledge since the film's release.

This sounds like it's addressed to very casual fans of the film or newbies, since the "surprising reveal" will be no surprise to big fans of the movie, it being common knowledge for essentially half a century. (And anyone who doesn't already know may very likely respond with "Who???") Unless...

Definitely a rarity. Where else can you see George C. Scott explaining the five points of Calvinism to a prostitute? :) A fine film that I am looking forward to seeing again.

I saw this and Maurice around the same time and to me they are very similar in setting and tone. They are both wonderful movies, and I am very excited to see this is getting a BD release.

Wonderful news!!! Was afraid this would never happen!

Film is a collaborative medium. There are writers, producers, directors, editors, etc. etc. You say it's not Streisand's film to re-edit; by the same token, it very well could not be Pollack's film to re-edit either (were he alive). It all depends on who is the actual copyright owner of the film...

You have to be pretty skilled with fast-forwarding to get "past the boobs" because it really is a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment.

I'm wondering what details in the lawsuit support the part of this statement from the article that I put in bold below: "The lawsuit states that both Hussey and Whiting have suffered 'physical and emotional pain, along with extreme and severe mental anguish and emotional distress' in the...
