You probably know where this is going before we even begin.
Why?
Because it's another of those wallet-thinning Warner Archive releases, that are too good to pass up.
Those who appreciate Broadway musicals will know that The Unsinkable Molly Brown, a 1964 M-G-M production, directed by Charles Walters, was a follow-up to The Music Man by Meredith Wilson.
It's a huge, rowdy adventure about Molly Brown, who started life much as Moses did, although he was never a Colorado hillbilly.
Is it one of the best musicals of the 1960s?
Without a doubt.
For those unaware, Molly is played by Debbie Reynolds, and if you want talent that's at once rowdy, gusty and full of life, she's your girl.
Getting back to the new Warner Archive Blu-ray, it is, what they typically are.
Absolutely perfect in every way.
Visually and aurally a treat for the human brain, with perfect color and densities, and a track that beautifully replicates the original magnetics.
Just a terrific film!
Last time I recall seeing it was during it's theatrical run, in magnetic stereo, and I had forgotten that it had an overture.
In typical Warner Archive fashion, so does the new Blu-ray. If this doesn't put a smile on your face...
