Attended the Fathom Events one day only screening of “Lawrence” at the AMC here in Monmouth County NJ. The video was absolutely perfect and the audio superb. There was a nice mix of first-timers (including a number of under 30’s which is always great to see at a classic) and old timers like me. There was an ovation at the end of the film…and even more applause on the restoration credits…so take a bow, Mr. Harris!

@Robert Harris My 18-year old's first time with Vertigo last night. Enthralled. I made him watch the restoration credits and then my 1984 LaserDisc. "Dad, who is this Harris guy? He's a freakin' genius! What else has he fixed? And do you have the soundtrack?" Next time he's home from college, it will be his first time watching Lawrence of Arabia.

Hi, as I'm new to the forum, I'll just lurk for a while.

I have chosen to show "Golddiggers of 1933" as the inaugural film to show off my new home theater built to replicate the 1920 movie palaces. Completed with stunning DECO proscenium arch, gold contour curtain, and sheer traveler and surrounding atmospherics. Still working on sound balance and navigating multiple remotes.

Why haven’t the Astaire/Rogers RKO classics been restored and released on blu-ray…??? (I know that “Swingtime” is on Criterion)…

I recall "Dinner at Eight" with fondness. Yes, Dressler was superb in this.

Hello for years I have been following leads about the 1954 Versi
on of "A Star is Born". I was wondering if you could private message me.

Dear Mr. Harris, Have you seen the New Tex Avery Vol.2 Bluray yet ? If so how does it look to you ? Thanks, Rick

Probably been answered before, but finally got around to viewing tCriterion edition of It's a Mad(4) World, and your work, as always is invaluable- great to a least hear the audio of the Keaton-Tracy and Barry Chase scenes with the stills. Still wondering, however, as apparently it's never been recovered, what the sequence was with Howard DaSilva, Phil Silvers and the mine, and where was it placed in the edit?

Mr. Harris
Regarding the 1950 unreleased film “Hello God” with Errol Flynn. From Wikipedia: this was a lost film, but in 2013 it was discovered in the basement of the court of New York City. 2 of 7 cans of the movie had deteriorated, but five survived and are at the George Eastman House film archive for restoration.

Are you aware of this film? do you know of any restoration work underway?

Any news on The Alamo? Or has it faded to dust?

MR Harris! - As YOUR input is ALWAYS highly regarded - This is the sentence I go by these, days; "Upgrade from Blu-ray - Absolutely!" Please remember to add this - as often as possible - when appropriate - otherwise your blue ray disks stay's

If I write a message here is it a PM? Not used to this format.

Dear Mr. Harris.

At long last, Scott of the Antarctic has been beautifully restored, and I would love to hear your thoughts on the (unfortunately) Region 2 Blu-ray. I have a few Blu-rays not available in the US and wish the studios could work out their rights issues.

Hi Robert,

Whatever did you conclude about the release of ONE FROM THE HEART, which remains exclusive to the Coppola box set? Yours was a rave, while some other sites blasted the transfer...

Thanks,
Jonathan

1. Why has LOVE WITH THE PROPER STRANGER been languishing in a VHS sourced 1.37 version? Nominated for 5 Oscars. A subject matter that is still very much controversial. It was never on DVD..... A Blu Ray would be extraordinary.

2. I purchased the Blu Ray of the "restored" LION IN WINTER in the UK. The sound mix is a disaster. Is there a chance that the problem can be rectified before a US release?.

Hello, Mr. Harris

I would like to ask you 2 questions, but if you are too busy, I wont be mad
1. I study photography and I chose to do an assignment on DIGITAL and ANALOGUE restoration.Can you reccomend (preferably) some books or internet sites to me?
2. I would like to contact Warner Archive-do you know any address that I could write to?-I tried Facebook and other networks,but no answer.

Thanks,
Al
