    Fox Studio Classics Nov 1

    I'm sorry, but Valley of the Dolls does not deserve a Studio Classics treatment. It should be released, but there are far more worthy titles for the Studio Classics line.

    Classic films that tanked at the box-office

    In regards to some of the perceived flops listed, here are the box office numbers: 1. The Alamo (1960) Cost: $12,000,000 US Rentals: $7,919,000 - good box office but unprofitable due to huge negative cost - 2. High Noon (1952) Cost: $750,000 US Rentals: $3,400,000 Worldwide gross...

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: The Detective

    This has long been a movie I have appreciated. It was only released once on VHS back in the eighties, and copies are selling for $350, so I'm thrilled that a widescreen DVD is now available. Great to see it released!

    Outtakes from old movies-where are they?

    A lot of outtakes, such as those from Casablanca, are missing their audio tracks. Same with Around the World in 80 Days.

    Reds - Any News?

    It did come out on VHS, and it had been playing on TCM recently, but I don't think it every played on one of the networks.

    Fox releasing "Man In The Gray Flannel Suit" on August 9th!!

    "The Man in the Grey Flannel Suit" has one of the finest scores every in a motion picture. I have an audio copy of the score, and I listen to it over and over again. Something about it is very thought provoking.

    Fox releasing "Man In The Gray Flannel Suit" on August 9th!!

    Wow! This is great news. "The Motion Picture That May Very Well Be THE VERY GREATEST" is coming to DVD. Lets all hope that is holds up to the other fine Studio Classics. Marisa Pavan and Gigi Perreau are still alive. I wonder if they participated in a commentary. I know Jennifer Jones would...

    SONY PICTURES PRESS RELEASE: Georgy Girl

    Robert, I apologize. I thought that Crisp did more than just the restorations, so I was mistaken. I did not mean to make a cheap shot at him at all.

    ArthurMy, you really seem to be looking for a fight on this topic, and I'm not going to give you one. You know how I feel about Columbia, and it won't change unless they change.

    Doris Day Movie Question...

    MGM had guts to make Love Me or Leave Me. In 1955, serious musical dramas just were not being made. Furthermore, Doris Day was cast completely against type. Fresh with freedom from Warner Bros., this role was her first opportunity to shape her future without a studio's guidance (she did have...

    SONY PICTURES PRESS RELEASE: Georgy Girl

    Mr. M., I happen to think that there is more to a DVD than an anamorphic transfer. In comparison to Warners and 20th, Columbia has historically not released good DVD's. When I look for a DVD, I want a clean anamorphic transfer, clean audio, and a couple of extras. Maybe this is asking too...

    SONY PICTURES PRESS RELEASE: Georgy Girl

    Is this an example of Grover Crisp's "improvements" with the Columbia DVD catalog? Who would ever pay such an exorbitant price for a barebones release that likely won't impress anyone? I'm sticking to my VHS copy I taped from TCM.

    LOVE ME OR LEAVE ME- An unappreciated gem!

    Jane Russell was offered the role of Ruth Etting in Love Me Or Leave Me. However, she desperately wanted the role of Lillian Roth in I'll Cry Tomorrow, so she turned down the role, and it went to Doris Day. Then she lost I'll Cry Tomorrow to Susan Hayward. Tough luck!

    How about a Warner "Natalie Wood Signature Collection"?

    A short review of "The Professionals" SE

    Is it me or is Columbia becoming the comeback kid when it comes to DVD release? I was really impressed and surprised by this one.

    Teacher's Pet and Li'l Abner

    At least the transfers are good. Paramount just hasn't caught on the the idea of extras yet. Oh wait - up until two years ago, they did. Why the change of heart? Oh well, I'm still buying Teacher's Pet anyways.

    Criterion- Heaven Can Wait...in June!

    The Warren Beatty "Heaven Can Wait" is a remake of the 1941 film "Here Comes Mr. Jordan." "Heaven Can Wait" - the 1943 Lubitch comedy, has no relation.
