Comparison and review scans up on DVD Beaver. I usually don't gush over the scans for they can look different depending on your equipment, but they do look great. Glad the Intermission is there. The Beaver also spoke highly of the audio.
It is a testament to Robert Wise. He did the same with WEST SIDE STORY. A near perfect film and were is that on Blu-ray. THE SOUND OF MUSIC is ordered and can not wait until the 2nd. All this interesting talk just makes me that much more impatient.
I'm not sure I would care or enjoy an overture for Jackass 3D, Avatar might be another story or the Harry Potter films. The first thought about an overture today is something is wrong with the projector and I am missing something. That is the reason that the overtures on most of the DVD's (Fox...
I remember the 1980's re-release of FIDDLER ON THE ROOF. The Film had an intermission and when it appeared on the screen, the audience would walk out with stunned looks on their faces trying to figure what to do for the next few minutes. It was playing multi-plexes of that time, 6 to 10...

Perhaps we should should start a Facebook campaign and letter writing to Oprah to include Miss Parker in the reunion. She is a very overlook actress today and needs rediscovering. I would love for TCM to do something with her before it is too late.
