Clarification to my post above. I pre-ordered this yesterday. I received of those "confirmation of your order" automatically generated e-mails and it said that this item would be released February 17th. Just thought I would pass that along.
Forgive me if this has been posted. I pre-ordered the 50th anniversary Blu Ray today from Amazon. I got a return e-mail stating that this would be released February 17th. Of course this may not be true and only an estimate.
This may have been posted but will these titles be available as single items? I already have the blu ray for THE SOUND OF MUSIC and SOUTH PACIFIC. Max Preeo on Cast Recording List reported that the 1962 STATE FAIR would not be part of this new set. Was he wrong? Again, apologies if these have...
very excited. I saw this in roadshow at the Kansas City, Mo Empire (now Alamo Drafthouse) Cinerama on my 13th birthday.. I know, I know it wasn't true Cinerama. Well now three of my blu ray wishes have or will soon come true.. Got EXODUS ,(granted it was an import) and soon will have Altman's...
Just got the Australian import blu ray of EXODUS. I believe it's the same that was used on the HDNet Movies broadcast several years ago. No, it's not in the original screen format 2.2:1. The ratio is 2.35:1 but the image is so much better than that awful standard release. Has the intermission...
I saw GWTW two days after it opened at the Rivoli in NYC. October 1967. I was there on a week long theatre trip with my parents and a friend from high school. My friend Gary and I went to see GWTW at a midweek sold out matinee. I had seen the previous 1961 reissue. I remember being...
Attended a screening of CLEOPATRA yesterday at the Cinemark Theatre here in Kansas City. Film looked beautiful. So great to see an original road show (I first saw this at the Ambassador Theatre in St. Louis when I was 14) being treated like a road show. Overture, intermission, entr' acte, exit...
Got my DOLLY blu ray today at the same time that I received Mr. Kimmel's marvelous, first time ever CD release of A TIME FOR SINGING, the musical based on "How Green Was My Valley."
As to the former, the skies are blue - no white in sight, and, as for the latter, THANK YOU, THANK YOU THANK...
Going along with Mr. Kimmel's comment about the availability of CABARET's number @ TONY AWARDS on youtube, there is a clip of the London company and Judi Dench performing "Don't Tell Mama." Ms. Dench sent Jill Haworth a handwritten note telling her how excited she was to follow her lead by...
There were talks a few years ago to do a cable taping using the stage book and songs, most likely a combination of the revised script from the 1987 revival and the Roundabout production. Nothing came of it.
Count me in as someone who loved the original production and the Joe Masterhoff stage script. When I was 16, I saw the original production of CABARET and it remains one of my favorite musicals. A few years before she died, I got to know Jill Haworth who was the original Sally Bowles. I...
I voted for THE AGONY AND THE ECTASY. I want all Todd AO features on blu ray :) I'd like to vote for Otto Preminger's EXODUS but I don't know if that United Artists feature is licensed by Fox as is WEST SIDE STORY.
Speaking of MY FAIR LADY- I was so disappointed in the blu ray that I ordered a copy of the standard DVD set (with the great Peak illustration). I had given my old one way.
From Camelot entry on wikipedia
While the official running time was 179 minutes plus overture, entre'acte and exit music, only the 70mm blow up prints and 35mm magnetic stereo prints contained that running time. The general release version ran 150 minutes. Cuts were made in dialogue throughout...
Saw this in roadshow although it was 35MM at the Landers Theater in Springfield, Mo. A year or so later caught the general release print.Hated watching the general release. In the late 70's , I did see a complete roadshow 70MM blow up print that was part of a 70MM revival at the Midland Theatre...
I have a copy of a CAMELOT pressbook and it's for the shorter version that was for general release. The cover is a photo of Redgrave, Harris and Nero in costume for Lancelot's knighthood. The ads have the Peak illustration showing Richard Harris and Vanessa Redgrave profile that was the...
Kansas city had the Fine Arts Theatre which was a top notch revival house. Now Wade Williams and his partners Ben and Brian Mossman have five theatres under the banner Fine Arts Group and they show first run and independents. There is a single screen theatre in Independence, Mo called the...
Bruce, I am with you. I love Joanne Froggett (Anna). I remember seeing her in the first episode of a UK series BAD GIRLS. She was only in the first maybe second shows of that series but she stood out. Very good actress.
