    HITCHOCK’S “VERTIGO” RESTORED 60TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION SCREENINGS

    Mr Katz's memory has faltered a bit insofar as comments about the recording sessions of Bernard Herrmann's score. For example, Muir Mathieson conducted The Sinfonia of London [not the LSO]; and, later on, an unnamed orchestra comprised of the best musicians in Vienna. The VSO was not employed.

    Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954) ….coming from WAC

    This is amongst my favourite musicals. Have always loved the music, and in particular Adolph Deutsch's superb arrangements, not to mention his adroit conducting. I was always a fan of Anscocolor, despite others having a less than high opinion of this tri-pack film process. It's put to great use...

    Press Release HTF EXCLUSIVE! Twilight Time July 2018 Release Announcements

    I am pleased to note that so many respondents mentioned the music score, which was the work of the Serbo-Croatian composer, Dusan Radic, who also composed the music for The Long Ships. He is mostly forgotten today. A considerable amount of his concert music is still performed in his home country.

    Kino/Zeitgeist BOMBSHELL

    Yes, indeed. This is an excellent film. Hedy Lamarr was the co-inventor [with composer George Antheil] of frequency hopping, a device which was developed over time to include CDMA Spread Spectrum, making telecommunications feasible by mobile telephony, wi-fi, etc. Tip your hat to this underrated...

    Blu-ray Review Windjammer: The Voyage Of The Christian Radich Blu-Ray Review

    The complete elements of the film would have been deposited with the Library of Congress in order for the film to quality for copyright protection. But, again, as this was Eastman film stock the release prints would have similarly faded over time despite the meticulous storage of films at the L...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ This is Cinerama -- in Blu-ray

    Plaudits to those involved in the restorations of This is Cinerama and Windjammer. Each were carried out as a labour-of-love. The commercial sales of each title would be limited to those who are mostly interested in those widescreen formats introduced in the 1950s.
