Now we need Flower Drum Song! Ihope they clean up the mirror number.

Kino has already said it does not have Thoroughly Modern Millie. Twiilight Time has a new deal with Universal starting with the release of Anne Of The Thousand Days in December so I suspect if we're going to see an R1 version of Millie, it's probably going to be through TT (unless Shout Factory has it).

I'm concerned they'll overdo it and degrain the whole film too much, not just the "I Enjoy Being a Girl" sequence.

And how would you propose they "clean up" the mirror number, which is an optical?

Last time I heard "brand new 4K restoration" from Kino it was Irma La Douce. After THAT disappointment, I'll take a wait and see on this. I have the French Blu-ray, which looked pretty good.

I hope they fix the mistakes from the dvd. Part of the film was missing.
I fixI hope we get more than a 2.0 track

There is no excuse huge chunk of the film, or any film, being inexplicably missing from the DVD. That was before Universal's last merger, so hopefully they have learned their lesson by now.

Oh, the forum members let them have it when the Sweet Charity DVD came out. They know.

 

[haineshisway]

The French Blu is complete, so why anyone is worrying is anyone's guess. The DVD is a long time ago.

That I know. Redo the optical. I know It can be done!!!

 

[Ethan Riley]

They'd have to find all four of the original elements and recompose them digitally. I kinda doubt those elements survive, but who knows.

 

[warnerbro]

Yes, thank you and I hope we can get commentaries for this and THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE while a few of the stars are still breathing!
