New Universal Musicals (1 Viewer)

[Joe Caps]

Last week,DVD file had an announcement about many new musicals coming from Universal - particularly interesting was, finally, the release of Sweet Charity and Thoroughly MOdern Millie. No specs have been seen - will these two films be in anamorphic, in 4.0 sound or two channel stereo. Will they have extras - both films had those ten minute "making ofs" done at the time of the film. sweet Charity also had an alternate ending that was on the laser. Universal also has an additional two alternate endings for this film that have never been released - will we get any of this?

Well, these days, it's a given that any widescreen title with an aspect ratio of 1.78:1 or wider will be anamorphic, so there's no longer ever any need to ask about that anymore(unless it's a Disney or MGM catalog title... )

Or MGM.

They are still releasing non-anamorphic DVDs of some widescreen catalogue titles.

Thank you Rain, I corrected that before even reading your reply....I realized it as well.

What about Universal releasing Monsoon Wedding a couple of months ago in a non-anamorphic transfer and it's not even a catalog title!
