I love jungle movies, so this one is a must. I read the book in High School. I have the soft and overall crumby-looking DVD, and would love to see a Blu. Audrey is so damn beautiful.

So is the score.

 

[Matt Hough]

I found Green Mansions incredibly dull. Haven't seen it in years, and I would certainly give it another chance, but it's one of my least favorite Audrey Hepburn films.

 

[jayembee]

I like it, perhaps more than I should.

I guess a 1932 MGM film doesn’t count as a MGM product.

If you're going to quote me, then please at least afford me the dignity to quote what I said, not what you think I said or what you perceive I said, or didn't say, or wish that I had said instead.

Yes, The Mask of Fu Manchu is MGM product.

Never say it wasn't.
Didn't suggest there was NO MGM product in April's announcements.
Didn't even condemn WAC or make ANY sort of critical statement, judgement call, etc. about the picture's importance in the MGM canon.
Didn't even make a reference to it - period!

Asked one question: MGM's 100th, right?

Made one positive statement.

"More MGM product":, and even topped it off with "pretty please".

Still you consider mine the negative comment. Or merely critical. Or perhaps, misguided. Or maybe, just maybe, critical by omission. There. I think I covered all your bases now.

Point is: whatever the inference, you made it - not me.

RE: Green Mansions. Odd Hepburn flick. Goes on my list next to Paris When It Sizzles, which isn't a great movie either, just in case anyone was wondering.

I didn't quote you, like I did this latest post. However, I just noticed that you wanted more MGM titles, but failed to mention The Mask of Fu Manchu, an MGM title.

I love AH but TBH the movie isn't that great. Even though it's not one of her best roles just b/c it is AH they might upgrade it and it's the only one her Warner / MGM films not out on BR yet.

Agree. Roman Holiday, Love in the Afternoon and Sabrina are her top 3 for me.

 

[RolandL]

Does anyone like this movie? It's MGM. (Psycho meets Holly Golightly in the Jungle)

[Capt D McMars]

I can’t answer for Random Harvest, but George Feltenstein has mentioned in past podcasts that there are elements issues holding up Prisoner of Zenda. I, for one, would definitely be all over a remastered Blu-ray of Zenda.

If Mr George and his team could do the two-fer on Blu ray as they did on the DVD, for BOTH the Ronald Coleman & Stewart Grainger versions would be a instant buy from me!!

 

[Garysb]

From the sale:

Goodbye, Mr. Chips(1939)
The Great Ziegfeld
Cabin In The Sky
The Prince and The Pauper(1937)
A Day At The Races
Tarzan, The Ape Man (1932)
Gentlemen Jim

Though I'm a big A. Hepburn fan, I don't know anything about Green Mansions. As to Paris When It Sizzles, I know it generally doesn't get a lot of love, but I think it's an absolutely brilliant satire and funny as all get out! Audrey and Bill Holden camp it up perfectly!

 

[dagover]

Though I'm a big A. Hepburn fan, I don't know anything about Green Mansions.

Same here. My favorite Anthony Perkins (and Ava Gardner) film is On the Beach. Perkins wasn't psycho, and Ava never looked sexier.

Allegedly, WAC is working on 7 Faces of Dr. Lao

Allegedly, WAC is working on 7 Faces of Dr. Lao

That would be a dream come true!

 

[TheSteig]

Dr. Lao is another big one for me. Im still excited about Fu Manchu as that was the number 1 movie on my WAC/WHV wish list. The Last Dinosaur, the remaining Val Lewton movies, It! , In This Our Life, Sadie McKee, The First Deadly Sin, All Through the Night , Mr. Skeffington, The Narrow Margin and Captain Sindbad are also are my Warner Most Wanted list !
