I'm the "those" who wrote that, as you undoubtedly know. :lol: Listen, I'm just trying to inject a little calm and rationalization into a situation we don't actually as yet know anything about, but you guys keep on keepin' on!

In fairness, we have no idea whether or not they ARE still available. The DVD came out (with overture etc stereus intactus) in 2003 and Universal had a massive vault fire in 2008 that wiped out much of their music holdings and masters. We don't know what's still around and what isn't...

You LOVE it!

I ordered from Bullmoose and got both this and SHADOW OF THE THIN MAN just now. I'm very impressed with the "Free shipping" that was, in actuality, 1st Class Mail and the fact that both titles came to my mailbox three days from ordering. Shipped in bubblewrap in a cardboard box, no less!

My only regret in deleting that post, Malcolm, is that now no one will "get" your response :blush:

EDIT: Forget it. I'm not even going to get into it.

Not to speak FOR him but I get the impression he doesn't care for the song itself.

I never enjoyed that sung until I heard Kate Baldwin sing it in on Broadway in the 2017/2018 revival (she's the only cast member who stayed for the entire run) and I was blown away by how much I loved hearing her sing (and act) it. To each his own, though. I WILL say that, onstage, her...

Poor Thomas!!!! He was only relating a similar experience with opinionated theater ladies, but somebody should really check to see if he's okay at the bottom of that pile! :lol:

One of the great theater regrets of my life is that I never took the opportunity to see Channing during the 1995 Broadway revival (we got tickets to see Julie Andrews, ironically, enough, in VICTOR VICTORIA instead) and never got the chance to see her on stage. I really could kick myself...

True, but I get the impression that this quote was from AFTER the release of the DOLLY movie so I think she had already won those when he (spitefully, it seems) said it.

What a shitty thing for Lehman to say. That's not to say I buy it. To me, it reeks more of defensiveness regarding the criticism levelled at Barbra's casting (For the record, I think she's fine, by the way, if ill-suited to the material) than anything else but jeeze Ernie, a little gallantry...

Can I ask where that quote came from? I've never heard of any 1952 film playing the Music Hall in stereo. Heck, this was a summer 1952 release and THIS IS CINERAMA didn't even open in New York until September 30th.

Wherever we go, whatever we do.....! :)

It WAS the Lyceum at 149 w45th Street!! The one good thing about the otherwise mediocre DVD of STAR! is that they ported over the production "diaries" from the LD release. Allen, I think that may be where you initially read it! (Pardon the crappy pictures but I was snapping the stills from...

Fortunately, the Cinerama conversion and accompanying drape was done as a hanging screen in front of the original architecture so that it was still accessible when the orchestra level was turned in to a self contained cinema after it was triplexed. This was the theater Carol Burnett worked in...

Isn't that what I just said? LOL :lol:

She made it to the Hollywood premiere a month later: https://producerslibrary.com/preview/RBV-006A_007 Perhaps she was tied up with work on STAR! and couldn't get away. She infamously missed the UK premiere of STAR! because she was stuck in Ireland shooting DARLING LILI.

I honestly think the website just mixed up the numbers in 1967 and typed 1976 by mistake. I can't find any record of a roadshow engagement (or even a reissue) of MILLIE in the LA area during 1976. Someone else may have better luck but it seems unlikely. The TCM reference above is powered by...

Better late than never!!!! ;)

Allen and Ken beat me to it but I was going to add the same exact LA Times newspaper clipping from April 13, 1967. MILLIE (as you can see from from the ad that both Allen and Ken posted) did indeed open at the Warner Hollywood as a reserved seat attraction. The Chinese Theater was in it's...

Thank you! That needed to be said. I think, if the framing IS incorrect, (and I haven't seen it so I have no actual idea and probably wouldn't know anyway) it's much more likely a case of the extracted area being taken from too low in the frame and not a result of the wrong aspect ratio.
