I believe this was fixed, the HD version that the Warner Archive streamed was correct.
This was corrected in subsequent DVD pressings. I even re-bought the DVD when I learned about this. Look forward to the Blu ray.Jefferson said:The dvd edition of this had a huge, glaring error in the main titles. The wrong "reaction chorus" tracks were used as each star's name came onscreen. There are supposed to be cheers for Tony Curtis, whistles for Natalie Wood, and booing for Jack Lemmon. All of this was wrong on the dvd 5.1 track. The cheers came for Jack, the villain, the whistles came for Tony and Natalie got the cheers. OK, but not correct. If you switch to the French soundtrack, you hear the correct placement of these effects. My concern is that this has not been fixed for the blu-ray. I will hold out a little bit of hope that it did get corrected, although, I am not certain if the powers at be even knew it was incorrect in the first place. Fingers crossed.

That was good customer service. WAC and WHV have always been at the top of their game in replacing discs as is Disney.Randy Korstick said:Yes this was corrected about a year after the DVD came out. I got mine replaced through WHV.
Argh! I would have been climbing the walls by this time! You have the patience of a saint!Mark Walker said:Anyone still waiting for the Blu-ray from WAC directly to ship?
I admit that I am inpatient. I would have thought it would ship on Tuesday, release day. It is now mid-morning on Thursday and it still shows "in progress."

And indeed I was misreading him. As I now have the disc, I can tell you that the "Overture" Entr'acte" and "Exit Music" titles are up on the screen, but are designed to look like 1890s slides. The "Overture" and "Exit Music" titles may have been added by Warner just for this release (I can't tell) but the "Entr'acte" card is animated as it "slides" into place and slides back out when finished, so it was probably in the original version.Mark-P said:I think the implication in RAH's review was that the overture is already against a black screen, but I could be misreading him.
Really ridiculous set of circumstances. Sorry this has happened as I know you were looking forward to the movie.Mark Walker said:I ran out of patience this morning. I tried to cancel, because, to make it worse, now Amazon is cheaper on top of the failure of WAC to ship or alert me to a reason for the delay.
WAC apologized for not notifying me that Paypal won't allow them to bill my account a month after the order was first put through. They knew this already, and had me on their list of people to call, but had done nothing and it still read "in progress" on their site.
I was not particularly great on the phone. They are giving me the option to return the disc when it arrives. I want them to lose a sale because of this.
Me cranky is not good. One of several bad online order situations in the last week.
Days like today remind me why I am still single. LOL!
