I found Green Mansions incredibly dull. Haven't seen it in years, and I would certainly give it another chance, but it's one of my least favorite Audrey Hepburn films.
Easter Parade was one of the early beneficiaries of the Ultra-Resolution process back in the laserdisc days, and each subsequent release on DVD and Blu-ray has always looked wonderful to my eyes. I don't see anything amiss to revisit. I'd rather time be spent on Judy's few remaining Technicolor...
I watched about a half hour of The Human Comedy on the TCM app a few days ago, and it needs some TLC before venturing onto a Blu-ray. I, too, hope it happens.
I watched the first thirty minutes of it on the TCM app yesterday, and what was shown is certainly not in tip-top shape. Lots of scratches and dirt, and the soundtrack is very hissy. With the film almost three hours, it will be an expensive remaster/restoration.

Speaking of Shakespearean adaptations, I watched the 1953 Julius Caesar today off the TCM app. Looked very nice. Someone either earlier or in another thread said the movie was setbound, but I didn't find it so. Interiors seemed interiors and exteriors were either location work (the great final...
And I thought Much Ado About Nothing was close to brilliant, Keanu being the weak link. As I sat in the theater watching it, I thought it might be one of the few Shakespearean adaptations that could be understood and appreciated by a vast general audience of today. They were originally written...
