I received my copy today and only had time to see the screen tests of Rebecca and I was dissapointed beyond words. Not only are there only two, Margaret Sullavan and Vivien Leigh's but the video quality was very poor. The criterion edition has many more (Loreta Young, Anne Baxter, Joan...

I agree. Those screen tests sent yourself back in a time machine to Hollywood working technique. I always thought that with all the material packed in the Criterion editions (tests, memos, pictures, storyboards etc) one could make a beautiful making of doc. I'm glad they finally did it. These...

In the spanish edition there's an easter egg. In the still gallery, when you are watching the poster art and you press "next" on your remote there's a outtakes reel. Nothing to die for, but a nice surprise if you find it by accident.

The digital Bits says All about Eve is a NEW 2 disc special edition. Any news about the additions to the previous edition?

Wonderful film savaged by spanish censorship. They couldn't coup with poor Vivien's lifestyle in the film, so they turned her into a chorus girl instead of a prostitute. Did they succeed? Well, in the altered version there were many dubbed lines changing the original dialogue and many cuts, but...

I agree. I remember Spielberg mentioning that he attended a screening of Lawrence of Arabia reissue and David Lean was sitting next to him talking about specific scenes and explaining behind the scenes stuff about the movie as they watched it. He recalled it was an amazing and rich experience...

Amazon Lists Four-Disc, NC-17, 247 minutes Kill Bill: "The Whole Bloody Affair" DVD edition for November http://www.amazon.com/Kill-Bill-Whol...dp/B000R7HY0A/

Believe or not, although I'm a big fan of this movie, I hadn't read The notoriousa "Madonna diaries" published in Vanity Fair around the release of the movie. This journal is a fascinating account of the ordeal and joys of makinfg a movie, from the point of view of the star who received the...

I simply don't understand. I'm talking about the same music edition but Region 2 (I live in Spain) with same cover and extras and the film looks wonderful. Can there be a region problem, and would it affect only to the colors?

Not at all. If only, it has a non saturated palette, like many 70's films IMHO.

I received my copy of this edition and I must say I'M ANGRY AT DVDBEAVER. No, the screenshots featured in that site ARE NOT ACURATE. Thank god I ignored them and I bought my copy, mainly because of the new extras. I thought that if I wanted to watch the actual film I could always use the former...

As the matter of fact, it was Marlene Dietrich who Uma wanted to play in a biopic directed by the late Louis Malle back in the 90's. Unfortunately Malle passed away before it could be made.

Hey, Gary! Thanks for posting that great site!

Now that Barbra Streisand is doing commentaries for the DVD releases of her films, how comes there's no special edition of the movie that made her a star? In one of her live concerts I could see screen tests from the film projected in a big screen while the overture of Funny Girl was performed...

Well, finally I found out about the easter egg myself, thank you very much. Want to know? On Disc 2, in the "Auditions and Screen Tests" screen, highlight SPECIAL FEATURES. Then hit the UP button. You'll see the highlight appear on Effie's microphone. Hit SELECT then ENTER and then OKAY to...

I read somewhere there's an easter egg in this edition. Does anyone know? I've tried to locate it but I quit. Anyone?

Steve, It was me who called the doc a disappointment, and I mean it. Not because I already knew the stuff but because it is a mess. Overlong, confusing and pretentious. I'm sorry for you guys who expected something good. I did too. This film deserved a better doc. Shame.

I have the UK edition which features that same documentary and believe me it's not that good. I'm one of those guys who buys an special edition only to get a new making of doc. With shadowing the third man I was so disappointed. Its kind of arty-pretentious, slow-boring and confusing. The fact...

Thank you Brent. Yes, just to have it on DVD for the first time is already a treat. I can't wait.

Since the rest of the collection doesn't have any kind of extra or commentaries either, it clearly means Universal didn't even asked. So no, I don't think I'm speculating fruitlessly. It just amazes me that some of you don't see this as a sad lost opportunity. The Heiress is a masterpiece and...

Since recently she has been honored with a tribute and among all her films she chose to attend the screening of The Heiress, I don't think she would have said NO, had she been asked. She had contributed to other DVD editions of her work before and The Heiress being a performance she is...

Thank you Christian, the print looks stunning. Call me a fool but I was waiting for a last minute announcement of a commentary by Miss De Havilland. Oh well.

So, February 6 is so close and you tell me Universal is releasing these movies barebones?

What is Ana & Leo in the Ana Karenina Edition? Is it also a featurette?

Am I blind or what? in my browser the link has this light grey tone I didn't notice. Thank you David.

David © do you have the rest of the interview? I'd love to read it. Chuck, you mean the duet restored in the movie? cause I think it is just a music bonus track to be shown on MTV and such, not a scene shot and discarded from the movie. I'd also loooove to see the screen tests of Beyonce...

As the release date is approaching, is there any news about extras?

Yes, 1.85:1

News are even better than that Jim T. As DVD Times informs, these are the new extras: Features include: 1.85:1 Anamorphic Widescreen English & French DD2.0 Stereo Spanish subtitles Audio Commentary with Film Editor Alam Heim Portrait Of A Choreographer Perverting The Standards Making...

A fellow poster attended a special screening of the Heiress honoring Olivia de Havilland, who was there to comment on the picture. He was so kind to share his experience with HTF: I wonder why Universal hasn't used this great opportunity to put in some nice bonus extras.
