I was hoping for a remastered Blu-ray that would get rid of that blue tint.

I’ve seen all 6 of them in theaters. The first 3 were in revival houses and the last 3 were in first-run theaters. Nope, no applause for Babs.

I love both the play and the movie adaptation, two different animals for sure, but I think I prefer the movie a little more. I was excited to receive the new Olive release and did a quick comparison with the Fox Blu-ray for a few of my favorite scenes. Color and sound are definitely improved on...

Trajan, are you sure that Warner controls PENNIES FROM HEAVEN? I think that's one of the latter-day MGM movies, not one of the ones that Warner acquired when it gobbled up Turner. I would LOVE a Blu of this movie! It was Ross working at his very finest.

Before MGM filmed PRIVATE LIVES with Norma Shearer and Robert Montgomery, they apparently filmed the original stage production, starring Noel Coward and Gertrude Lawrence, so that the stars of the movie could study it. I would LOVE to see that film!

Classicmovieguy, thank you so much for posting that link. I get chills every time I see that kiss at the end, especially when Jan Clayton reaches her hand up to touch Billy. I completely agree with AnthonyClarke that Jan Clayton has such an other-worldly presence, and a few of her humorous...

The clip of John Raitt and Jan Clayton recreating their "If I Loved You" on the second disc in the CAROUSEL DVD set is one of my all-time favorite performances. That passionate kiss at the end gives me chills every time I watch it. Unfortunately, the chaste kiss between Shirley Jones and Gordon...

That was a treat, CMNash. Thanks for posting. Aside from the annoying color filters, it's just such a shame that a director with some visual flair and knowledge on how to move a camera didn't get the job directing this movie. Part of that "Wonderful Guy" number are SO static!

I'm not sure the reordering of the scenes in the SOUTH PACIFIC movie was Logan's revenge against Rodgers and Hammerstein. They were active producers on the movie, after all. I think S.P. and Oklahoma! were the only two movies they produced.

Does anyone know the story about the much-maligned color tints that appear during the musical numbers in SOUTH PACIFIC? I've read in several books that Josh Logan was assured that they could be removed if everyone hated them (which in fact everyone did), but in the end the tints could not be...

Thanks for the info. I just canceled my Amazon order as well. Darn, I was really looking forward to this one.

Got my set yesterday. No problems with the packaging or discs, although I'm going to see if I can find paper sleeves for the discs to keep them safe within the cardboard sleeves. I have only watched one L&H short so far, one that I had never seen: Laughing Gravy. I was disappointed to see the...
