The Night of the Iguana sports great B&W cinematography from the extraordinary Gabriel Figueroa. A 4K scan derived from the original negative is a mouth-watering prospect.

How about releasing THE INSPECTOR GENERAL from PD hell for the 100th with a recombine of the the original negatives? One can dream...

Really a nice buffet, don't get piggish, LOL!!! You right!!

Next to THE COURT JESTER, this is my favorite Danny Kaye film...and I think I've seen them all. I had a full-length Super 8m print of this, but most of the reels were color-faded. There are at least two show-stopping comical musical numbers handled with Kaye's usual gift of tongue-twisting, past-talking patter. This was a 3-strip Technicolor film, but no one seems to be bothering to restore it for Blu-ray. Shame.

A very good film.

It certainly is, but I always zoom my DVD when I want to watch it. Can't stand that open matte look for it.

I agree, Executive Suite is a decidedly enjoyable, well acted ensemble film, and seeing it in Academy ratio, since it’s mostly set bound in an office environment, makes it look too much like an extended television production. Great cast.

I can't wait for THE NIGHT OF THE IGUANA! Extraordinary performances and cinematography!

 

[jayembee]

How about The Night of the Attack of the 50 Ft. Iguana?

Doesn't sound like my kind of movie!

I don't suppose Hawaiian Eye and 77 Sunset Strip will be the TV titles coming next year. However, miracles do happen.

That would be great and so would Colt .45 but at this point in the game I would be shocked if they cleared them and remastered them.

 

[Randy Korstick]

I Hope they do as good of a job as they did with Cyclops 1957 with Gloria Talbott and Lon Chaney Jr!!

This is WAC we are talking about consider it done

Since, it's been established that "Meet John Doe" is now a Sony title, I have moved the prior posts discussing that film to the following thread:

Will We See a Capra Collection from Sony?

WB has saved A Star Is Born 1937 and Royal Wedding from PD so maybe they would show Danny Kaye some love too?

Yep the Inspector General, the Secret Life of Walter Middy is another great Kaye movie!!

If WB has saved "Royal Wedding" from PD, maybe they'll eventually release it on Blu-ray. It's one of my favorite Fred Astaire musicals.

True story: I once asked an acquaintance if she ever saw TNOTI and she replied in all seriousness and with a great deal of contempt, "I don't watch horror movies!"

So I'm guessing she never saw "Hour of the Wolf," either.

Well, with that cast, the only acting nomination was for Grayson Hall, future star of Dark Shadows.

I love the early Goldwyn Danny Kaye films far more than anything he did after with Secret Life, Wonderman and Kid From Brooklyn being my favorite Kaye films.. Would love all 3 on Blu Ray.
