Perhaps someone has the track in his or her private collection

Um, sort of like your blog John.

++++The Mel Brooks Collection from Fox Home Video is of very high quality, has been thoughtfully produced by people at Fox who obviously love film, has been QC's by a human, and...+++++ Spoken like a good Fox employee

Warner has both, but from time to time the 1948 version is played on TCM. The '48 re-release was just on last week. Let's hope the 1963 version is relased on DVD.

They showed the 1948 reissue cut, missing the shot of the Goldem Gate Bridge under construction (which is in the original release). The original negative left us sometime around 1967.

MGM/UA did release a VHS of BUDDY/BUDDY in the mid 90's, but no laserdisc---and I thought it had a Turner logo on the front of the vhs, but I'll have to check my copy. Is this title in the hands of Sony with the whol UA buy???? The warner brothers lasers of FEDORA are known to rot (sony...

If Warner/Turner doesn't have the rights to BUDDY BUDDY (an MGM picture released thru UA in 1982, then who has this? Sony with the UA titles?

Why restore a film from the late 80's? The archival IP hasn't faded much if any, and the Original SE will never fade. All this is a digital clean-up...which is nice, but it's not a restoration.

Paramount made a brand new VistaVision IP was made on this title. Looks amazing!

Disney

THREE ON THE COUCH is owned Columbia/Sony The M&L films will arrive in late 3rd Q from Paramount

Susan Slept Here has been shown twice on TCM in the past six months. It's an RKO film. CAPRICE is on the FMC every other month, and they have a nice widescreen transfer of this title.

Son of Paleface is NOT a PD title. This film was produced by Hope Enterprises, released by Paramount, then over to NTA for TV. Son of Paleface copyright was renewed by Hope Enterprises in 1979, then sold to Columbia Pictures in the late 1980's. Columbia sold off the U.S. rights to all the Hope...

Presently FOX and the R&H estate are working on restorations on both versions of OKLAHOMA. I’m sure Mr. Harris knows about these.

A new restoration is not needed on this title since the Academy Film Archive did a great one in 65mm about three years ago. FOX just needs to use these elements (I'm guessing they will for a hi-def release)

I hear Robert Harris and Ned Price are doing a restoration on this title with a planned IMAX release! Can't wait!

Why always Robert Harris? I think Grover Crisp and his staff can do the job when the time comes.

Thankfully IMMMMW landed at Sony after the MGM sale. With a brilliant restoration staff in place, and enough funding from the parent, Grover Crisp will do an amazing job when the time comes on this title.

I’ve always found in funny when Mr. Harris makes a remark on a transfer, many on this site take it as the gospel. Personally, I don’t let Mr. Harris’ “expertise” dictate to me what I should or should not buy. will

Look for it in 2007 for it's 45th anniv. with the doc Cinerama Adventure as an extra

Paramount didn't restore the original VV negs, because they are too faded and couldn't make a new IP from these elements for a transfer. From what I understand, the two 1970's CRI are the best elements they have to work with, and a studio dye transfer 35mm print. This is what was used for the WS...

Paramount TV didn't hack the original 35mm negs so they could make syndication prints in the mid 1970's. 16mm CRI's were made with the selected cuts removed from these negs. All syndication prints were in 16mm only, except for LA & NY which were 35mm prints.

Do we know if UNIVERSAL will be using the newly restored Cinesite elements on THE MAN WHO KNEW TO MUCH? Will this also give up the original VistaVision logo?

Turner Entertainment's Richard May and staff has done a great job on this restoration of Ben-Hur. Please take a bow.

Did WB remaster BEN-HUR directly from a newly restored 65mm I.P. element, or is this still the same 2.55:1 35mm I.P. being used with more image shown, a digtal "restroation", and passing it off as true 2.76:1 version? If someone has a few frames of an original (and red) 70mm or 35mm 2.76:1-scope...

FUNNY FACE is one film which needs to be remastered....I found the laserdisc to look better in the color department.

There's also a 1973 (or is it 1975?) TV version of STATE FAIR as well.... Is fox using the newly restored picture elements for these DVD's, or older elmenets from the vaults? Will
