The Twilight Time News and Info Thread (1 Viewer)

[Dave B Ferris]

One of the films Robert Parrish directed is on a Twilight Time disc: In The French Style. It's a good film and a good disc. Robert Parrish was a pretty good director of women. Jean Seberg is excellent in this film and Julie London was good in the two Westerns she made with Robert Parrish. There is another Columbia title directed by him: Fire Down Below. I take it for granted that at some stage Sony will provide a 4K master of this film.

I was also very pleased when Kino released "The Wonderful Country" on Blu.

The only information TT has publicly confirmed about Gorilla At Large is that they acquired the license from Fox.

Considering the fact that Man in the Dark and Mad Magician sold out and Miss Sadie Thompson is currently "low quantity" at Screen Archives, I'm cautiously optimistic that Gorilla At Large will be released in 3-D.

As with every title from Fox, TT is waiting for a decent transfer if not a 4k restoration.

I hope that's the case. A 2-D HD transfer already exists and is currently available on VUDU. TT could have used that if they wanted to.

If Fox is in charge of providing the 3-D master, then I'm curious about how they'll do it. Will they do it in-house or will they opt to hire a 3rd party (3-D Film Archive) to complete the task?

Gorilla At Large in 3D is one of my holy grails since I saw it at the 2003 3D Film Festival.

 

[Jimbo64]

Wasn't it mentioned a few months ago that they currently had an HD scan of one eye and needed to do the other?

 

[3D Projectionist]

To have Gorilla at Large in my collection would sure be something and having it sat next to A*P*E even better!

 

[RolandL]

Fox does their own restorations.

In listening to the complete commentary track of TT's "Bunny Lake is Missing", which was hosted by Mr. Redman, Ms. Kirgo and Lem Dobbs; there was reference made to a Robert Donat film entitled "The Magic Box". In this film, Laurence Olivier made a mere 5 minute appearance; but it was said that these very 5 minutes was "a lesson in acting".
Once again, TT has whetted my appetite; and I wonder if they have hopes of capturing this film for our consumption?

It would be great if TT could offer us Otto Preminger's "The Cardinal" (1963).

Possibilites:
It's from Columbia Pictures; and that means Grover Crisp.

Attributes:
Leon Shamroy was nominated against himself for "The Cardinal" in the year of his 4th win for "Cleopatra".
John Huston received his sole acting nomination for "The Cardinal".
Otto Preminger received his only other directing nomination for the "The Cardinal"; post "Laura".

 

[RichMurphy]

I think the rights for THE CARDINAL are with Warners now, or at least they were during its DVD release a decade ago.

Has anyone viewed BENEATH THE 12-MILE REEF yet? I'm waiting for some reviews before I pull the trigger.

I too would love to see The Cardinal on blu by TT. It would be a Godsend, pun intended.

When it came out on SD, it held a special place in my collection. Now we get to see it in all its glory!

For some reason Warners owns it.

Looking forward to this as the original 4.0 (as 5.1) will be heard on home video for the first time and the isolated score is three-channel, the format of the original recording, so it will be great to hear the discrete groups of three harps in the LCR, total of nine, on several cues.

 

[Stephen PI]

For some reason Warners owns it.

The last I heard was that the 35mm 4-track stereo fullcoat mag master is no longer usable due to UK damp conditions and the 2.0 stereo track that I heard on the dvd doesn't sound as though it was mixed down properly.

I received an e-mail this morning telling me Gun Fury has shipped. I've got my glasses ready.

Same here. My Saturday show is all set now.

As usual, my order still hasn't shipped yet.

 

[Malcolm R]

I hope to test out the 3D functions of my newly upgraded HT for the first time this week. If it looks good, I may order Gun Fury.
