Possibly my most anticipated WA releases so far this year! Trying hard not to be offended by the 3.5 production rating in this review. It deserves at least a 4 or 4.5 in my book! The DVD release looked rough and I'm happy to hear further confirmation of a shiningly successful restoration!

I love this film. One of my favorites. I'm also disappointed in the 3.5 production rating. Can't wait to see this.

I think this film is mediocre at best. Just kidding however, film appreciation varies and has no reflection on those that love a particular film nor those have a lesser opinion about it.

For decades, THE ENCHANTED COTTAGE was only available in RKO's 77 minute reissue length. Like THEY WON'T BELIEVE ME, RACHEL AND THE STRANGER, STATIONS WEST, THE THING and a few others, RKO cut (and made new 1:85 titles) these films before they were released to television. So the C&C negatives were made from the cut reissues. And when UA remade the 16mm negs in 1978 they used the same cut versions. Earlier victims of this were THE LOST PATROL, SHE and GUNGA DIN.

PS there is a recording of Roy Webb's ENCHANTED COTTAGE piano fantasy from a Standard Hour radio performance.
