A Few Words About A few words about...™ Bunny Lake is Missing -- in Blu-ray (1 Viewer)

[Robert Crawford]

I dunno. Seems like an okay choice of words to me:

It did to me, but it's time to move on.

 

[Mike Frezon]

Yes, sir!

[...]For those on a limited budget, and only able to pick up a film or two from Twilight Times monthly offerings, I'd go for Bird Man of Alcatraz and/or Judgment at Nuremberg -- two wonderful films.

So how would you stand on a Bunny purchase at half price if one already owns Judgment at Nuremberg, but not Bird Man of Alcatraz?
The quantity's for Bunny went below 200 during the TT sale and I got pulled into that now-or-never impulse, being that I'm viewing the Preminger films as of late; plus its awfully difficult to ignore the pull of seeing Olivier and Coward within the same piece.

Oh Come on ...

Just buy it ... (I did but I already have both Judgment at Nuremberg,& Bird Man of Alcatraz)

I did. Just curious how RAH would rate a Bunny purchase under the given circumstances.

Olivier! Coward!

You should be ashamed that you asked!

[...]Bunny Lake is Missing is an odd film, and not a great one, by any means.

Good sir, it was Olivier and Coward alone that swayed my decision to purchase, last night; as I was getting a mixed feeling concerning the overview of the film, itself. Indeed, had you not made inclusive their names within your review I might have missed it altogether. Many thanks.

 

[Winston T. Boogie]

Honestly, Coward is awesome in the film. A total weirdo of epic proportions.

That's pretty much his shtick ...

 

[Matt Hough]

Not the way I see it. He usually plays the sophisticate. He's a sleazy piece of work in Bunny Lake, VERY different from his usual persona.

Otto Preminger's 1965 Bunny Lake is Missing is an odd film, and not a great one, by any means. [...] For those on a limited budget, and only able to pick up a film or two from Twilight Times monthly offerings, I'd go for Bird Man of Alcatraz and/or Judgment at Nuremberg -- two wonderful films.

Well, I finally figured why you were making placing a possible purchase-value comparison to Bunny Lake is Missing, Bird Man of Alcatraz and Judgment at Nuremberg within the same review. Just the other night, while glancing at the TT catalog, I had noticed that each of these 3 titles were released on the exact same date. Knowing us as you do, comes the awareness that not all are able to purchase 3 titles in the same given week.Everything now makes sense and all is in context; including my ultimate ownership of all 3 titles.

The commentary track from "Bunny Lake is Missing"; with Nick Redman, Julie Kirgo and Lem Dobbs; refers to a Robert Donat film entitled "The Magic Box". In their discussion of this film, reference is made to a 5 minute appearance by Laurence Olivier; to which they said that watching scene is "a lesson in acting". TT has, once again, whetted my appetite. I wonder if this is a film that TT might hope to offer, one day?
