I saw TML in London roadshow in 70mm 6 track stereo . Overture, intermission …the works. The sound was quite spectacular.

Ben-Hur The Greatest Story Ever Told. Restored to premiere length. Cleopatra

A truly great film! Audrey Hepburn’s finest performance. Finally coming to HD…

Fox/Disney…. Doubtful

Also… Oh, What a Lovely War. Saw Roadshow in London. Richard Attenborough’s film has to the best of my knowledge disappeared. The Victors was on Cable many year ago in a truncated version. That version I believe was on the DVD. Hasn’t been seen since and certainly hasn’t been restored . Was...

North by Northwest. Has been ‘restored’ and part of the upcoming TCM Film Festival in the spring. I’m sure this showing will be followed by a 4K UHD release.

I believe the DVD version is cut by a few minutes.

Yes, as I believe the restoration of a number of years ago was done in 4K . Kino has stated that they didn’t believe there would be a market for such a release.
