[Kino Lorber Insider]

@Kino Lorber Insider any chance of The Adventurers (1970) - my understanding is that this was owned by Avco Embassy and could possibly be under the umbrella of Studio Canal (same with Nevada Smith and The Carpetbaggers). The other title is Endangered Species (1982)?

They're all with Paramount.

 

[Kino Lorber Insider]

Any update in The Magic Sword? A potential release date, I mean?

Most likely late 2019 or early 2020. We just received our new 2K master and need to QC it.

To quote one of my favorite lines from the film "Permission Granted!" Arguably the best version on Clemens' The Prince and the Pauper this side of Mickey Mouse(TM) ...

So what is it based on? Tom Sawyer or Prince and the Pauper?

I saw The Prince and the Pauper on release at the Carlton Haymarket in London it was presented in 4 track stereo
and it sounded excellent.

Huck Finn

Huck Finn

I could have sworn it was based on A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court; hence the Crossed Swords. No swords in Tom Sawyer or Huck Finn, AFAIK.

Kino Lorber Insider:

Is Crossed Swords being released on DVD and Blu-ray or just Blu-ray?

I know that you had said in a previous reply that Kino-Lorber has no plans to release Omar Khayyam, but I am just wondering if it is title that Kino-Lorber might inquire about releasing in the future?

Thank you in advance for responding.

My head is crossed! KINO's presser says TOM SAWYER; one persons says PAUPER, then KINO says HUCK FINN and finally someone says CONNECTICUTT YANKEE.

I believe the copy (blurb) writer felt the need to tell the young uns who the Huck was Mark Twain ...
But I think the most salient points are RAQUEL WELCH !

 

[PMF]

Just the mere mention of Raquel Welch makes me lose my twain of thought.

 

[Dick]

CROSSED SWORDS has a really splendid score by Maurice Jarre.
