    I understood that. But even at 1:75:1 for those others, they would look more like their theatrical presentation.

    The Official Disney Movie Club Blu-ray Exclusives Thread

    I would be thrilled to see any of these titles released on Blu-ray.. It is a shame that DMC and even Disney+ do not regard much of the studio's output from the 50s through the late 60s as highly regarded and sought after by fans. I have written Disney+ asking that with so much material from...

    I had read that that the dvd of TGLC was widescreen but not the correct OAR as well as non-anamorphic.

    WESTWARD HO THE WAGONS is in Cinemascope. Also THE GREAT LOCOMOTIVE CHASE is in Cinemascope and hasn't been released in its correct OAR.

    WESTWARD HO THE WAGONS is in Cinemascope - it looked pretty bad on VHS. The others except JOHNNY TREMAIN were shown theatrically at 1:75:1 The three starring James McArthur looked fine in theaters without any heads cut off.

    Those films may be available on DVD but I don't believe any of them were restored to their original aspect ratio. So I see no reason to purchase pan + scan versions.

    My most sought after titles include LIGHT IN THE FOREST, WESTWARD HO THE WAGONS, TONKA , JOHNNY TREMAIN, THIRD MAN ON THE MOUNTAIN, KIDNAPPED & SUMMER MAGIC... But chances are slim because of the age of these films . I also wonder if content in the three westerns is now considered not PC. I have...

    A Few Words About A few words about…™ The Sign of the Cross – in Blu-ray

    Until the early 1990s, the 1944 version was the only one available to watch. It wasn't until American Movie Classics debuted the Roadshow version during a week devoted to restored films that most of us finally were given the opportunity to see the original film. I believe that that print was...

    A Few Words About A few words about…™ The Sign of the Cross – in Blu-ray

    Unfortunately, I knew that nothing from the re-edited version from 1944 was ever issued on disc . That version not only has a newly filmed introduction/prologue(approximately nine minutes) but quite a few other variations. The opening credits were redone ; the scenes aboard the WW2 aircraft in...

    Titles Wanted

    Any and all of those titles would be most welcome. I would especially love to see the Roadshow versions of ISADORA , ZIEGFIELD FOLLIES and RAINTREE COUNTY. The roadshow version of ISADORA runs 171 minutes as opposed to the director's cut of 153 minutes - either or both would be preferable to...

    Warner Archive Press Release: Hans Christian Anderson (1952) (Blu-ray)

    What a shame that the Blu-ray release of this major film of its day - in 1952 - has only a trailer as an extra . As a fan since childhood of this classic , I know that a vast amount of advertising material was produced by Samuel Goldwyn studios - a program, special glossy lobbies, a deluxe...

    Warner Archive - The Miracle (1959)????

    I know - it comes from 1994 - in the dreaded pan and scan process. It is a real injustice to show cropped widescreen films anywhere, especially TCM. The same is true with THE BIG FISHERMAN from the same year - a horrible copy originally shown on the Disney channel in the 1980s!

    Warner Archive - The Miracle (1959)????

    Warner Archives has been working on getting this film released for a t least a decade - currently the film is in limbo. It is a beautiful looking film shot in Technirama & Technicolor and has a magnificent score by Elmer Bernstein. It stars a fine cast headed by Carroll Baker, Roger Moore...

    I own both of the German (Colosseo Film) DVD and Blu-ray releases of ULYSSES. The print runs 113 minutes (NTSC) and has an aspect of 1:1.55 . It also has an alternate (or expanded ending). It does not look cropped - certainly it is the best I have ever seen this classic epic. Some scenes were...

    Blu-ray Review The Egyptian Blu-ray Review

    I would definitely buy a new edition of THE EGYPTIAN(I own the TT). Maybe it can be given a 4K HD remaster and maybe a few extras. It is certainly worthy of a commentary.

    THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH is a film I fell in love with as a kid when I saw it on its first reissue in 1958-9. I certainly can remember that first time seeing this candy colored, Technicolor love letter to the world of Circus, especially that of Ringling Bros. + Barnum & Bailey. For me, the...
