THere are many musicals and films with very distinguished soundtracks/songtracks which have been released on disc but in mono audio only - not that there's anything wrong with that - either due to the stereo version or the multi-track masters being lost or too difficult to restore, or because little or no effort was made to locate them, or because it's simply the way the soundtrack was recorded & the studio decided to just leave it be (to the delight of purists, ofcourse).
Anyway, here are 10 films which I feel would greatly benefit - again, not that they aren't totally fine as they are - from a new stereo or surround mix (either from restored/remastered session materials or digitally-created):
CAT BALLOU (1965)
MAN WHO KnEW TOO MUCH, THE (1956) (For whatever reason, almost none of Doris Day's films on disc have stereo sndtrks, orig. or otherwise. I realize most came out well over 50 yrs ago)
MONSTER CLUB, THE (1980)
OCEAN's 11 (1960)
RADIO DAYS (1987)
ROBIN & THE 7 HOODS (1964)
THIRD MAN, THE (1949)
THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR, THE (1968)
TILL THE CLOUDS ROLL BY (1946)
WICKER MAN, THE (1973)
Is there a film or 2 you might add to the list?
