Wonderful film. RKO sent a gorgeous 35mm print to the Carnegie Hall Cinema. Unfortunately, as they also did with It's a Wonderful Life, the prints were cut for reissue. But they really looked good. Of course I was disappointed...

I've never seen this movie, but I always get it confused with the horror knock-off "I Dismember Mama" that used to be on the shelf at Blockbuster Video back in the day.

This is good news; all I've ever had is an old PD vhs copy.

Ellie Ewing and Grandma Walton were nominated for Oscars. I’d love to see this.

Arguably one of George Stevens' greatest films. This along with CONFLICT, JOURNEY INTO FEAR & BATHING BEAUTY! It's going to be a pricey month.

I hadn’t watched this for years, so right around Mother’s Day, I bought the DVD. The picture was as dark and muddy as I remember it being when it aired on AMC.

Will happily upgrade on day 1!

I wonder if that dvd was another public domain release? Things got so dire, I actually saw "Mama" for sale at the 99 Cents store years ago. My vhs was a little murky but acceptable. A real Warners blu will be a revolutionary upgrade on anything I've seen.

It was the old Warner Home Video release.

I agree that this new transfer should be a revelation.

I also remember seeing this title among the skinny black cased $1 bin DVDs at the thrift store. With The Sabu Jungle Book, Shirley Temples The littlest Princess and Danny and Kayes The inspector General. All very sad old copies of PD sadness.

Stop the confusion, and beg, borrow or buy this movie asap. It's too terrific!
