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.
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.
I bought the wide screen laser disc of Grimm back in the early 90s and was I ever disappointed in the picture quality, unwatchable really. The print on TCM is equally as bad although I suspect they will switch to restored print at some point in the near future.
This release gives me hope...
