I am thrilled to see releases like this one and the recent release of Colt .45!

This will be a great month for me with the Warner Archive. I have waited a long time for this one, as well as several of the other releases announced today.

I am very happy to see this as I really enjoyed the DVD collection. I remember that CBS really put together some striking and memorable commercial spots promoting this series when it was on the air. Many of the promos were actually letterboxed to suggest the theatrical quality of the series...

The Desi Arnaz introductions were included on the DVD release of The Scarface Mob from a few years back, so it is disappointing that they were not included on this otherwise fine release.

Neither did Margaret Dumont, apparently. Or did she?

The story in post #17 about extra surviving footage in Hungary is fascinating. Has this been verified? It strikes me that this footage, if it exists, should be scanned before the elements disintegrate, as nitrate footage will inevitably in time.

The Looney Tunes Collector's Choice Volume 3 Blu-ray is being released today. This is not exactly a Blu-ray release of The Bugs Bunny Show, however, the Looney Tunes Collector's Choice Volume 3 Blu-ray includes some of the cartoon shorts that you might see in The Bugs Bunny Show like There...

Oblivious or indifferent? Seriously, though, it is funny how viewing interests can change over time. When this film was released, I had zero interest in seeing what is probably a cheesy movie with Burt Reynolds and Liza Minnelli. I feel strangely compelled now to check out this curiosity.

What’s wrong with the slipcover?

The Looney Tunes Collector's Choice Volume 2 Blu-ray is being released today. The review of this release has been posted HERE. The Looney Tunes Collector's Choice Volume 1 Blu-ray, released on May 19, 2023, includes many of the cartoon shorts that you might have seen in The Bugs Bunny Show...

Thank you. If I understand correctly, your reference to burned-in aperture by optical step refers to the desired aspect ratio being printed optically directly onto the film print. It does not refer to selecting of aperture plate by the projectionist. Please correct me if I am still...

That is a very good question. The film studios used to fill the voracious demand for theatrical cartoons by producing new cartoons all of the time. It was not unusual for demand to exceed supply of new cartoons being produced, so the studios would make up the difference by rereleasing some of...

I infer from your comments that this presentation has a heavier level of grain visible than the recent 4K release of American Graffiti. You mention that Techniscope is grainier when not presented via Technicolor dye transfer prints. Is it possible that the recent American Graffiti release used...

As I was preparing my review of this release, it led me to contemplation about the nature of storytelling on film, from silent film through talkies. I cut this out of my review, as it did not really seem to fit in the body of the review, but I share my thoughts here now, as I believe they are...
