    Notorious (1946) and Spellbound??

    Wishful thinking, perhaps. However, miracles do happen from time to time.

    Pre-Order The Lion In Winter (1968) (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    This is a serious problem, one which will hopefully be corrected by the manufacturer in good time. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

    The Greatest Story Ever Told renovation

    Regrettably, the gong goes to Kuprick (intended typo) for his treatment of Alex North. We may also cite Willie Wyler for tampering with Aaron Copland’s main title music for “The Heiress”. Why can’t directors simply direct? Few of them know anything about musc.

    The Greatest Story Ever Told renovation

    One could author a novel about Stevens butchering of Alfred Newmans superb score. In fact, someone wrote a treatise titled “Hollywood Holeyland”. Newman wrote to me, stating “It’s my music, but not my score”. Sad but true.

    Absolutely NOT in Vilebox (oops, that was an intended typo), which distorts the image.

    Blu-ray Review The Last Time I Saw Paris Blu-ray Review

    I have a soft spot in my heart for this gem of a film. Taylor is stunning in this. Strong supporting cast as well.

    We can thank Hugo Friedhofer’s Oscar-winning music score for enhancing the film in so many scenes.

    I would like to think so since the film elements are deposited with the Library of Congress.

    Blu-ray Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - Our Town -- in Blu-ray

    A superb restoration of the film, which has been properly window-bozxed. Unfortunately, there has been no restoration of the audio, which is problematic at times.

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ The Best Years of Our Lives -- in Blu-ray

    Yes, and don’t forget Hugo Friedhofer’s magnificent music score, which empowers the scene. You negative comments are yours alone; and I do mean alone!

    Biblical-Roman-Egyptian epics not yet on Blu-ray

    This film was notable for the mostly electronic music score composed by Mario Nascimbene. It would be great to see it released in the original Technirama format. Superb cast, not to mention the total eclipse of the sun as it was actually filmed.

    Blu-ray Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - Our Town -- in Blu-ray

    Yes, the sound on Our Town leaves a lot to be desired. In the opening credits Aaron Copland's music sounds a semi-tone sharp to my years. With iZotope and other software programmes the producers could easily have worked wonders by re-mastering the M&E track. Unfortunately, they did not.

    What a truly timeless film. And that monumental music score by Hugo Friedhofer. Won an Oscar for him, which was richly deserved.

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World -- in Blu-ray

    A blu-ray from a 35mm print? Absolutely ludicrous. What pray tell is an 'Intermission slug'? Mr Harris, with due respect, do not comment about film music as it only shows up your complete lack of knowledge about this craft. You fail to mention the Criterion release [spine number 692], which...

    This terribly underrated film deserves a proper blu-ray upgrade. Great music score by John Green.

    Pre-Order The Tin Star (1957) (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    The first film in which Michel Rey, who played Faraj in “Lawrence of Arabia, appeared. He gave up acting to become an investment banker. A very wealthy man today.

    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - Torn Curtain -- in 4k UHD

    I will never forgive Hitch for ‘sacking’ Bernard Herrmann. Later on, Herrmann’s score was recorded (by Elmer Bernstein & others). Herrmann’s score fits “Torn Curtain” like a hand-in-glove, whereas John Addison’s does not.

    A superb recording, one which employs the use of the original manuscripts. Highly recommended.

    We fully agree as the picture quality was awful. Thankfully, the film boasts a superb Aaron Copland music score. Looking forward to this release.
