Twilight Time announces Blu-ray releases March-June 2013 (1 Viewer)

Looking forward to Major Dundee. Glad to see it's getting a hi-def release.

Nobody appears to be much interested in doing extras for this, although we will try to furnish our customary isolated score.

Odd. Peter Bogdanovich seems to love doing commentaries...and does them well. Even his Daisy Miller and Targets DVDs had them. ...and you can't find a production backstory much richer than At Long Last Love!

For some reason, the debacle of AT LONG LAST LOVE seems to have embittered him to the point that even a belated appreciation won't penetrate.
In other news, I managed to locate the missing Eileen Brennan number I was talking about up-thread! Some nice person uploaded it to youtube last summer (with Russian subtitles!) I love her (not to mention those great spectator pumps!)

Now that Mr. Krupp is well worth watching. Thanks for the detective work. I have a feeling that this release is going to be talked about as much as LOST HORIZON.

I'm think it it's something like that as well, where he was embarrassed by the whole affair and wants to put it behind him entirely.

I'd never seen that before, so thanks, Will, for digging it up. Perfectly enjoyable, delightfully staged little number.

Aww.
Anyway, that number has me psyched for this release. I think the last twelve months have been nirvana for us fans of weird 70s musicals.

That is one true statement. LOST HORIZON and AT LONG LAST LOVE in Blu in the same year. Now we need CAN'T STOP THE MUSIC.

That actually would make a great looking and sounding Blu-ray (and the DVD doesn't upconvert all that well). Does Anchor Bay still own the rights?

Now we can all start beating the doors for 1776

I keep thinking we will see the Twilight announcement each month. I have the same hopes you do.

Nobody can release 1776 until Sony does the work needed on it first. It's felt that the new edit has to be done before it's put out.

New edit? So, they're taking out the depressing ending we got in the restored DVD?

I believe Lionsgate now owns this.

I thought Sony had already worked on that. At least in the 1776 thread I believe it indicated that for they had a tentative time frame for release.

 

[ahollis]

I believe Lionsgate now owns this.

I believe they should under their Studio Canal deal.

Can't say I agree with either assessment. Burt Reynolds, Madeline Kahn, Eileen Brennan, and John Hillerman are perfectly fine. Duleo Del Prey is perfectly AWFUL and Cybill Sheppard is perhaps only marginally better than him. Overall their two performances and the live musical recordings just sink the movie for me, and the performances of Reynolds, Hillermann, Brennan, and Kahn just can't save it, IMO.
