CAPTAINS COURAGEOUS, THE GOOD EARTH, and GOODBYE MR. CHIPS have always been essentials, in term of landmark MGM films from the '30s. In another direction entirely, I'd enjoy a release of the George Pal/Byron Haskin science fiction thriller THE POWER, an underrated little widescreen gem with a grand Miklos Rosza score. And, of course, full three-strip Technicolor recombines of several dazzling swashbucklers are high on my list, most importantly SCARAMOUCHE, THE PRISONER OF ZENDA, and THE ADVENTURES OF DON JUAN, which with undoubtedly provide retina-searing color visuals.

Wish WAC would give us a bit of an early XMAS gift and post a restoration clip of Ivanhoe on youtube! Count me in like Flynn on Flynn's Don Juan! Check out this PRICELESS bit of trivia told by Jimmy Stewart on his being tested for a role in the Good Earth!

 

[Arthur Powell]

Just from the top of my head:
Kings Row (1942)
7 Faces of Dr. Lao (1963)
The Strawberry Blonde (1941)
The Great Ziegfeld (1936)
Goodbye, Mr. Chips (1939)
The Roaring Twenties (1939)
Greed (1924)
More Errol Flynn - especially Captain Blood (1935) and Gentleman Jim (1942)

Yeah, I miss when they would post clips from their upcoming releases, especially if they posted a restoration comparison (I believe their May batch was the last time they did this). I hope the Archive starts posting clips again soon.

And... Raintree County. 2022 marks the film's 65th anniversary, so you can't blame a guy for hoping.

In the full MGM Camera 65 2.76 AR

What is the latest hold-up regarding The Devils? It's probably in the YouTube video posted up thread but I don't feel like watching it tonight.

Well, it's almost December, can't wait to see how many January titles we can cross off our wish list.

New remaster from the camera negative, it says.

How fantastic that Warners is providing technical data for their releases again. Doesn't cost them a penny more, and it's exactly what the serious movie collector wants to know.

 

[FrankXS]

Are we only getting two titles in the month of January ?

 

[Robert Crawford]

Are we only getting two titles in the month of January ?

We don't know for sure, but the release dates of January 18th and 25th suggests to me that might be the case.

Yeah. January is always deader than disco so I'm not taking two titles as an indication of anything more than that it's a slow month.

 

[Ronald Epstein]

Are we only getting two titles in the month of January ?

The WAC program was supposed to end after George had left, from what I can gather.

My guess is that now they had to put things back into motion which means until they can ramp up, there will only be two releases a month.

However, that is simply a presumption of the situation.

I hope this is not the incorrect place to post this but..
I don’t have Twitter or face book or anything like that. I’m a teacher with no filter and there for avoid Social Media till I retire.

But for the sake of karma I wanted to put out to the Universe a thank you to George Feltenstein who has returned to Warners.

Thank him for, in just the last few months

THE NAKED SPUR

MAD LOVE

And finally… ANGELS WITH DIRTY FACES.

Three of my all time favorite movies in impeccable condition. I’ve long loved these three movies but never ever have I really seen them. Not like this.

Like everyone else here I dearly want more. I’m a classic movie addict and I want to collect em all afore I die, or physical media dies.

BUT how remiss I’d be without thanking this paragon of cinema restoration, George Feltenstein.
I do hope I caught correct spelling.
Thank you sir for making this a great year for collecting movies.

Oh I almost forgot, CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN. A movie that was not one of favorites before I saw your amazing restoration. Again, I had never really seen the movie before.

Have a great rest of your year sir, you are a hero to all of us here.
