    I got the shipping notice this afternoon, so everyone's discs should be forthcoming soon, I think.

    I have not received any shipping notice for the review copies.

    That would be a dream come true!

    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.

    Me, too. One of my very favorites.

    It has stunning Technicolor in the iTunes version. I'm sure a Blu-ray will be mind blowing.

    I have the iTunes HD streaming versions of both of these, and they are beautiful. I can only imagine what the Warner Archive Blu-ray will look like.

    A wonderful set of releases!

    I watched my DVD of King Solomon's Mines a few months ago and was disheartened at its condition. This is a most exciting announcement!

    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.

    I hope to have my review of it up tomorrow.

    We walked some of those backlot streets a few years ago, and I personally was transfixed by the experience.

    Of course I was thinking of Mildred Pierce. Flamingo Road was a short-lived TV melodramatic series. Silly me, silly mistake.

    With the HBO mini-series remake of some years ago, Flamingo Road sprang back into the public consciousness, and I suspect that had something to do with the selection. Also, its elements may have just been in better shape than the other Crawford movies you mentioned.

    My Flamingo Road DVD went bad a couple of years ago, so I've had the iTunes stream since then. I'm sure the Blu-ray will be an improvement on it.

    I watched a little bit of it this afternoon (right after the first appearance of the "gypsies"). It does look better than any copy I've ever seen or owned, but I was hoping for even deeper color saturation.

    The DVD is equally lackluster.

    Yes, Superman plays an important role in the movie actually. Can't wait to see it in spruced-up Technicolor. Should be dazzling. And this announced slate offers a great diversity of choices. I'm thrilled with this list.

    It certainly is, but I always zoom my DVD when I want to watch it. Can't stand that open matte look for it.

    The ones with Judy Garland, maybe?

    I have the iTunes HD streaming version, and it is open matte, much to my dismay. Like others, I zoom it to give it a more normal appearance.

    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...

    I agree, but I enjoyed listening to it again on YouTube a couple of weeks ago lazily allowing me to keep the laserdisc on the shelf.

    Pretty dreadful if my memory serves from only a single viewing all those years ago. Incoherent.
