Band of Gold is so Palisades Park.

I got the streaming and tried to watch it twice. The 50th anniversary bluray blows it out of the water. I want my money back!

He has made a couple of comments one very recently which were not positive. But I must let him speak for himself. His 50th anniversary bluray is far superior in my estimation.

Will the projector's instructions tell you how large an image you can get before deterioration of image quality sets in? Like say if it throws a 120" image beyond that you will get a poor image?

Do people buy screens for their projectors or if it's especially large(120") can you project it on a white wall?

They should have released it on May 20th. Did someone already say this?

I know nothing about technical terms. Could you explain what bob and weave and lack of shutter mean? Thanks

Yes but does it look like it did at the Criterion in '64?

'We’ll have to wait to see what changes Paramount has made With HDR and Dolby Vision.' 'The black levels of MFL exist on the edge of a razor. Achieving perfection was a labor of love for all involved. And those levels are easily corrupted.' This is what is concerning. I await your thoughts on...

Mr Harris Why do you have nothing to do with this release? Why were you not brought into supervise it or at least work as a consultant? I'm not quite understanding this.

When Cleopatra was opening Harrison was not featured in the artwork. He was not included as equal to Taylor and Burton on the billboard on the back of the Rivoli where the film had its world premiere. He was not happy to say the least and contacted his agent. Clearly the agent put the fear of...

The opening title sequence of MFL is among the best. I don't know what he's talking about. I'm really sorry they're not using the Peak art. They've used this art for 30 years now and it is very tired and boring.The original artwork is sensational and captures the elegance and color scheme of the...

I'd thought I'd post this from a theater site. He makes some good points but a lot I find simply wrong. If you are a fan of the film you will find this interesting. Recent discussion of the virtues and flaws of the film version of MY FAIR LADY (see below) motivated me to finally sit down and...

Which was a direct steal from the Ingmar Bergman production of A Doll's House which was brought to Brooklyn where Nora at the end walks up the aisle and slams the door on the audience.

I believe it's some sort of series of films that need warnings because the TCM audience is easily impressionable and thinks Gone With the Wind is a documentary. And Seven Brothers for Seven Brothers is a musical comedy about Stockholm Syndrome.

So TCM has put MFL on a list of films they find problematic. God I hate this nonsense. They treat us like morons. Just show the damn film without apologies. But I guess we're so infantilized today everything has to be spoon fed to us. Will somebody please put adults back on the planet?

It's there for 22.96 for May 25th.

Yes. Though it was odd seeing that box next to a hippie musical no matter how family friendly.

When I was a kid my family went to DC in the spring of '73. Both 2001 and SOM were playing. I bet 2001 was at the Uptown and SOM was at the Ontario though I'm not sure. I could kick myself for not ditching my family and going to see both of them. I also wish I had gone to see Scorpio at the RKO...

I saw an original 70MM 6 track print of MFL on the 80ft curved screen at the Warner Cinerama. If you did not see that you have nothing to tell your grandchildren.

I've seen the film every which way from its first run engagement at the Criterion in Times Square in '65(I was so young I didn't even know what My Fair Lady was. Really.) to the drive-in to broadcast TV to the 90s restoration. And multiple times in-between in revivals. The itunes version has...

As I've written the itunes is a real disappointment on my LG 86 in 4k tv with the 50th anniversary blu-ray looking noticeably better. I wonder if this 4k hard disc will look better than the itunes streaming or will they look exactly the same? It really is a matter of color, shading and sound.

I hope Robert Harris gives us a comprehensive review. His knowledge of the film at this point is that of Cukor, Allen, Beaton and Stradling combined.

Julie got Audrey's Oscar. The Julie C got Andrews' Oscar the following year. I don't know why the Peak artwork which is some of the best artwork ever for a movie was ditched close to 40 years ago and nobody has ever wanted to bring it back.

Well when Higgins asks Mrs. Eynsford Hill if he's has seen her somewhere before he certainly has in The Ghost and Mrs. Muir.

Yes I remember being at a sales meeting at Sony when the new cd was being presented and disappointed that the Peak work was not being used. Somebody that I noted it to claimed that the Peak work was hopelessly dated. I still prefer it.

No wagon wheels! I didn't think of that. Can you imagine? I got Audrey and Rex shortly after they returned from the ball. It was quite the deluxe box set.

Possibly but it was CBS as Mr Harris noted who came up with that photo as I think Warner Bros no longer owned the film. Now I'm seeing on the box of the 50th anniversary release it has both the CBS and Paramount logos. My this is confusing.

No it is the photo that you see on the cover of the 50th Anniversary box that was used for the films re-release in the 90s. This is the box for home video at the time which if I remember correctly was only vhs. It included Beaton's book on making the film and a splice of 70mm film. Now where did...

And they improved upon what came out in '93 or was it '94? I was working in Sony Classical at the time and the soundtrack of the film had never been released domestically on cd which was crazy. As if the people who worked there had no idea it should be a catalog item. I was given an are you nuts...
