Sure would like to see this film someday on home Theater Blu-ray.

Gosh, a complete new cut of Cleopatra would be fascinating to say the least.

Going through some hard copy files today from an UK trip in 1997 and came upon some saved postcards. I’m pretty sure this was bought at the Imperial War Museum in London.

Just saw Splendor in The Grass on TCM. The transfer looked tremendous, like 4K maybe.

This book is fascinating. I’m almost done with the audio book with Jeff Daniels narrating as Paul Newman. Thanks for the ref.

I have that title in my audible list. 8 hours long. Listening to Hamilton which is 35 hours

I think the Bible was extensively rewritten over the years. Maybe the Bible is next for revising.

For commentary I’d nominate Steven Spielberg and George Lucas. Both seem very familiar with the series and paid homage in their films over the years. I don’t have their numbers. 😷

We watched the 2012 Blu-ray of Lawrence a week ago and for the first time due to my vision problems we played with subtitles. The subtitles on that disc are done very very well with directional placement depending on who was talking. It was a revelation to understand all the dialogue for the...

The film was shot 65mm. A new 4K or 6K scan, clean up, remix in surround and please a smilebox version. I think the audience is there, well I’ve been buoyed by the response to this discussion.

That was a great read. Thanks.

Don’t be cruel

I’d take a new HD scan. The existing HD scan is just sad.

I know, but I saw it on a CINERAMA screen in Chicago IIRC. It was beautifully shot. A plodding film bible epic but I sure wish it would get some TLC.

With the Wonderful World of The Brothers Grimm Blu-ray such a success I hope the same talents tackle the Greatest Story Every Told, please. That was such a magnificent image on 1965 curved screens.

I think it’s the best film ever made.

Wish I still had this issue.

The 6 disc Apocalypse Now 4K/Blu-ray FINAL CUT is now $13 on Amazon.

There are some great actors in The Cardinal: Tom Tyron, John Huston, Romy Schneider, Carol Lynley, Burgess Meredith, Ossis Davis, Robert Morse and more. I’ve loved the film since original release. The 2003 2 DVD WB reissue was a very nice presentation and the DVD is decent unconverted...

This thread may have jumped the shark.

Following this discussion brought me back to 1977 when the films were first (I think) shown on TV. I had to rent a color TV as all I had was a little Black and White set. So I get the rental RCA set in the house. Then the presentation came on, pan and scan I’m sure. But the color was all off...

Which begs the question, how much did it cost to restore Grimm?

Grimm’s restoration is remarkable. Love it. On How the West Was Won, I wish they had fixed that opening aerial which has the spots on the window or something. Always takes me out of the restoration. Wish the Grimm guys could take a new go at HTWWW

Oops. Yes, 1965. I had the wrong year in my head. Anyway, it looked incredible on the big CINERAMA screen I saw it on in downtown Chicago.

My biggest wish for next 70mm restoration would be The Greatest Story Ever Told. That was magnificent on the curved screen in 1969. Beautifully shot movie. Loved the Grimm restoration. My partner watched it with me for the first ever time and loved it. She wanted to watch it again immediately.

I think the scenes with the Asian American actors was meant to show the prevailing racism of the times. It made me cringe not laugh.

Incredible restoration. Mr. Strohmaier and Mr. March, thank you.

Yeah, after the overture and the first seconds of the actual film began projected on the curtain as it was opening was just magical. How the West Was Won was just majestic. I received the set, screening later today.
