And the best, as evidenced by that DVD with its fluctuating skin tones, was none too good. That's one of the reasons I haven't been as high about getting Can-Can on Blu-ray. I'm actually afraid what it might look like.Ethan Riley said:Have they done any additional restoration work on CanCan? I have the old DVD...which states the original elements were cooked, so they did the best they could...
I don't blame you! I only saw Star! once in 70mm at its premiere engagement in Charlotte, and a couple of numbers had already been cut. Once I saw it again months later as Those Were the Happy Times, even more was missing, and a film I loved had become a colossal disappointment.John Skoda said:I could check the laserdisc, but I can let you know tomorrow because I'm going to AFI in Silver Spring, MD, to see STAR! in 70mm (I'm pretty psyched)!
Well they'd probably have to color-correct it, frame by frame then....probably a big pain in the buttMatt Hough said:And the best, as evidenced by that DVD with its fluctuating skin tones, was no:ne too good.

There was definitely an Entr'acte played. My recollection, having seen it on the big screen several times, was the Entr'acte was played over a black screen, not with the curtain/orchestra.Enjoy the 70mm experience, John Skoda!classicmovieguy said:I watched the DVD of "Star!" again last night... fabulous film. But I've always been curious - I know the film has an 'Intermission' break right after the scene on the New York penthouse terrace with Gertie and Noel, but the DVD drives right ahead to the start of the second half (Gertie on holiday with her daughter Pamela).
Was there originally a return of the "show curtain" and the orchestra playing some sort of Entr'acte?
Go on keep it up, the R&H musicals will be released someday! But no harm in keeping a reminder up once in awhile. I keep bugging Paramount about "On A Clear Day You can see Forever". And they keep sending me to the U.K. site of Amazon for the DVD???trajan said:I will continue to promote these films until either they are released or I die. What ever comes first.
