    Any reviews of The Student Prince?

    Agreed .........I too would have like the Shearer / Novarro verion to be included. I had hoped like the two previous MacDonald / Eddy exclusive releases there would be an audio outtake section that they could have included the Jane Powell / Vic Damon pre recording test they did when Mario Lanza...

    Wizard of oz new 2 disc set, is it a new transfer or the old 2005 transfer???

    Question On the Amazon site there is a sound bite from an alternate audio take of If I only had a brain. I can not find it on the disc anywhere unless I missed it. Does anyone know where this is located. I am hoping it is not a Blue disc only extra.

    Fame, the TV series

    When they announced the re-release of the show for September, I could swore they only mentioned a version that combined both season one and two. I hate to double dip if I do not have to, but I thought with the price of $29.99 I would do it. I went looking and found Walmart had season one &...

    Mr. Ed LIVES!

    My Previous post: "When I saw American Gladiators then Thirtysomething being announced by Shout I knew they had entered into an agreement with MGM (via Fox I assume as they also licenced their shows). So I figured Patty Duke was there somewhere. I am thinking Mister Ed season sets are...

    PATTY DUKE SHOW - Coming in September

    When I saw American Gladiators then Thirtysomething being announced by Shout I knew they had entered into an agreement with MGM (via Fox I assume as they also licenced their shows). So I figured Patty Duke was there somewhere. I am thinking Mister Ed season sets are somewhere down the road. Also...

    Room 222...Could It Be?

    Very Happy I bought this set. It is a great show from the past. I forgot I had a crush on Karen Valentine. The video quality is lacking but still glad I purchased this and look forward to the rest of the seasons.

    Warner Archive Discussion Thread (FEEDBACK)

    Some of these films are important to warrant a commentary (Like the Garbo & other Silents), but I can live without it. Some of the films have not just trailers but featurettes that go with them, so we will be paying more for a film like Made in Paris that does not come complete with a...

    American Gladiators (original) release - 7/14

    For me the good news here is that MGM whether directly or through Fox has licenced this tv show and I hope there will be more shows licensed like Patty Duke Show, My Mother The Car, It's About Time, Thirtysomething or the rest of Fame, Green Acres, Flipper & Mister Ed.

    DVD Review HTF DVD REVIEW: Goodbye, Mr Chips (1969)

    There is a great 3 disc soundtrack album from FSM that is all inclusive. The booklet is great it has an in depth history of the movie and there are behind the scenes photos as well (all that should have been on this dvd release). I also remember their internet site had a 3 part story on the...

    Sea Hunt

    I see this pop-up a lot with regard to MGM's tv shows and films. Although Sony is a partial owner of MGM (20%). They do not own any of MGM films and really have no say in the day to day operations, especially with regards to home video. Sony had their chance running the company when MGM was...

    Some Like It Hot 50th Anniversary?

    I was reading "I Thought We Were Making Movies, Not History" by Walter Mirisch and he mentions there was a pilot for a proposed tv series based on the movie that had appearances by Tony Curtis & Jack Lemmon in it, that would be a great extra to have.

    DVD Review HTF DVD REVIEW: MGM: When the Lion Roars

    Have it on order but disappointed again there are no extras. What is going on with Warner. Other than the Forbidden Hollywood Three I do not see much added extras to their classic releases (Although maybe there is something on their upcoming Gypsy & one or two of the Doris day films collection...

    WHV Announcement: When The Lion Roars

    I still have hope there will be extras on this set. I was hoping for the MGM Studio tour of 1925 and other studio shorts. But I am sure there was a lot of extra interview footage that I would have liked to have seen. I read there is going to be a booklet but my guess it is the same as the...

    Shout factory doing great job

    Well it looks like the deal is with 20th Century Fox as they own Rhoda, the Paper Chase & Room 222. All of which I will buy to support them. I hope Fox also licensed, Phyllis, The Ghost & Mrs Muir, Nanny & the Professor & a one season favorite Swiss Family Robinson. Also maybe they licensed...

    DVD Review HTF DVD REVIEW: Warner Home Video Classic Holiday DVD Collection, Vol. 2

    The extras on this set are terrible compared to volume one (although I am talking about the three disc set that came out before this years repackage, I do not know if the repackage includes the extras on the previous set). Glad to see these out as I have not seen two of these films and love all...

    WHV Announcement: When The Lion Roars

    Here is yet another press release without any extras listed. Hopefully there will be a revised press release with extras, as this is a release that deserves extras. I was hoping for "Some of the Best" & "The MGM Story" shorts along with "Lionpower" and all the "Romance of Celluloid" shorts, 1925...

    Warner Romantic Classics in January '09

    I am hoping the extras are to be updated because Goodbye Mr Chips has several things that can be included. It will be very, very disappointing, if this film does not come with the exhibitor preview trailer (with an edited song and alternate takes). I will purchase it I was hoping for all the...

    DVD Review HTF DVD REVIEW: Gigi: Two-Disc Special Edition

    I can't quite put my finger on it but I feel this release is lacking. There were alternate takes for some scenes that might have been included (though they could be lost so that could be forgiven). On the Rhino cd there are all three of Leslie Caron's recorded songs (only one is here but in is...

    DVD Review HTF DVD REVIEW: An American in Paris: Two-Disc Special Edition

    I compared my laser disc audio extras and the Rhino cd usually the audio extras come up short but here it was fine. This is the second release of the Gene Kelly American Master's biography how come they did not go th extra mile and this time add the 8-10 outtakes from that special. Also the MGM...

    Girl from UNCLE?

    To me this sound like a "line". How are they really going to judge the sales unless they take into account the sales from Time-Life. To me the very idea that they are putting out this set tells me it did well and they want to take back the sales. It only went out via Time-Life because they...

    Where is "The Devil's Disciple"

    You would think somebody at the studio would say this would be a great as part of July 4th movie promo since it is about the Revolutionary War.

    Will Warner celebrate MGM next year?

    "Considering that UA owned very few of the films that they released, because of the nature of the way that UA was run, the UA library is actually not very large. Most of their films were actually owned by the producers of those films. IE The Broccoli family owns the Bond films, and the Mirisch...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Classic Musicals from the Dream Factory - Volume 3

    I am very happy with this set. I am a big MGM fan. But I feel some of these could be more complete. The Laserdiscs had more audio takes on them. I imagine Warner feels it is not an important extra on a dvd as it was on the laserdisc. There is an audio outtake from "Hit the Deck" missing (with...
