    RAINTREE COUNTY on Blu?

    I am amazed at how many people think they know more than WB on how to restore a movie. Warners are the experts in the field.

    RAINTREE COUNTY on Blu?

    This was my Mother’s copy published in 1948 and 1060 pages long. Over the years, I’ve read it twice.

    RAINTREE COUNTY on Blu?

    I was very pleased with the presentation this morning. There are still a few speckles throughout but did not give me a problem. The colors, to me, were very vibrant, however there is that day for night scene that seemed like mid afternoon. I am always taken back when they all said good night as...

    If sales were not acceptable, then they would stop releasing the niche titles. After all they are in business to make money.

    RAINTREE COUNTY on Blu?

    TCM’s showing of Raintree County was really good. Someone is doing things to this movie. I truly hope for a Blu-ray of this someday (soon, for I’m not getting younger).

    RAINTREE COUNTY on Blu?

    I have a first printing of the novel that my mother purchased in her college years. However, the gorgeous dust jacket was confiscated by my grandmother deciding it was pornographic.

    RAINTREE COUNTY on Blu?

    Raintree County does seem to in a regular rotation on TCM of about three or four broadcasts a year. That would mean that the ratings are very adequate. Watching it now after I recorded it on DVR. It certainly is much much better than the laser, which I still have, but certainly not ready for...

    RAINTREE COUNTY on Blu?

    They own it lock, stock and Barrel including all elements. Turner had owned it since 1986 and Warner purchased Turner in 1996.

    RAINTREE COUNTY on Blu?

    There is not a legitimate DVD release so any comparison is moot.

    RAINTREE COUNTY on Blu?

    It has already been announced and posted that the Goldwyn Estate and the Gershwin Estate has come to terms with the film and now the only thing preventing it's release are restoration of the elements. Which now is the same problem with Warner's WHERE'S CHARLIE. They have the rights again, just...

    So Raintree County is Warner's The Alamo.

    Along with THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF THE BROTHERS GRIMM.

    RAINTREE COUNTY on Blu?

    There one other title that keeps popping up on the forums and WAC's Facebook that they talk about heavy expenses in releasing it and that is THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF BROTHERS GRIMM. I thought of this title first, for Elizabeth Taylor and Monty Clift would make RAINTREE COUNTY a bigger seller. I...

    RAINTREE COUNTY on Blu?

    FOX restored it or at least did a new transfer in the correct OAR.

    RAINTREE COUNTY on Blu?

    Pirated. To many questions and as shown in other posts the company releasing it also sells WAC knockoffs.

    It's not Blu-ray and it's not an official release. Don't buy it!!!

    RAINTREE COUNTY on Blu?

    I doubt that Warner Brothers has licensed the rights to this film. Especially if it is just a DVD and not also a Blu-Ray.

    RAINTREE COUNTY on Blu?

    Absolutely a bootleg.

    I read the book too. My Grandmother had a first edition and I devoured it twice. Since it is a first edition it is not the edition that was shortened in future printings.

    RAINTREE COUNTY on Blu?

    That's right it was said. Not by the talent in anyway. Just by critics and the opinions of people that think they know. You have your opinion and I have mine. I want a Blu and you don't. So conversation over. This does not need to go further. So start your thread on YANKEE DOODLE DANDY released...

    RAINTREE COUNTY on Blu?

    I'm think it was 2.35:1. At least that is what an old Swank Films catalog says.
