Robert, My understanding is that The Devil is a Woman was cut by about 14 minutes for release in 1935 to pass the censor board. Do you know of anything regarding Paramount or Universal possibly having the cuts or anyone looking into searching for them? What would you think the likelihood of the...

Raw Deal is one of my favorite movies. From Claire Trevor's voice to the beautiful cinematography. I own the old Image Entertainment version. I wonder if anyone has been able to compare the video quality of the Image release to the newer Sony one that came out last fall?

To Marko - Thank you for the warning. This is just the kind of thing I would want to know before taking any kind of plunge into this world. To rob-h - I am very much Apple oriented. Thought about doing the mini thing. Then I started thinking that I might be about to get a new iMac and why...
