Indeed. One other title outside of the Bronston epics I have to wonder about as to whether or not it’s also in this perpetuity aspect is The Thief and the Cobbler, which was released through Miramax in the US in a horribly butchered cut.

Sadly, I was born far too late to have experienced the Roadshow Era, but I’ve always been fond of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. I’ll admit it’s not a perfect film, but it does have some lovely 65mm photography and some great Sherman Brothers songs, so I’ll definitely be behind a 4K UHD of the film.

This post and the fact that Eureka Entertainment are now releasing films in the US (starting with the silent Cat and the Canary in April) raises the question of what other titles initially expected to come from Kino might be coming from these two labels (especially since Eureka released a number...

Sleeping Beauty is actually a unique case as far as Technirama films are concerned as it apparently started out as a CinemaScope production (hence the 2.55 AR), but switched to Technirama late in production to take advantage of its ability to be converted to 70mm. The negative is also...

Just noticed that ImportCDs has a link for a Kino edition of The Strange Love of Martha Ivers dated for September 20th. Any chance the KL Insider could confirm whether this is legitimate or not? If legitimate, my interest is piqued knowing that this was Kirk Douglas’ debut and that it has a...

Which version of Hunchback of Notre Dame would that be? Though in light of the new deal with Sony, I’m wondering if there are any large format films in the deal (films like Barabbas or Lord Jim).

I don’t have the Blu-ray yet, but in regards to the mono Roadshow Interludes on Millie, I’ve brought it to the attention of Mike Matessino over at Film Score Monthly (on the off-chance those bits suffered in the vault fire since all three turned up on the soundtrack album) and he said he would...

Actually, in the case of Custer, the negative would have been horizontal 35mm considering it was shot in Technirama (only the prints were in 70mm)

With Kino releasing the Lon Chaney version of The Hunchback of Notre Dame in September, it’s got me wondering who has the rights to the Anthony Quinn version of the story, which I’m rather curious about since it’s supposed to be more faithful to the book, though the few bits I’ve seen suggest...

Question for KL Insider concerning Hunchback of Notre Dame (1923): Now I realize it’s probably a little early to be asking about stuff like this, but what kind of score will you be using for Hunchback (orchestral, piano, organ, or electronic)? Note: If this should go in the other KL thread...

Indeed I did, and might I say that your notes were very well-written, Doug. It’s a shame Digitmovies didn’t think to get you or Frank DeWald to do the notes for their Sodom and Gomorrah release, though of course I hardly listen to that one anymore thanks to the magnificent Tadlow recording...

Thank you for letting me know that, Robert.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this or if I should have put this in the other Kino thread, but does anyone know who has the rights to Alain Resnais’ Providence and if there’s any chance Kino might be able to release it? I’ve become rather curious about this film after obtaining a...
