Your new BD titles requests from Twilight Time (2 Viewers)

[Dick]

I would LOVE those too.

I second your request for AVALON. Wonderful, now nearly forgotten film. A great statement about how television began to affect the family unit.

You have listed many titles I am anxious to own. LIGHT BRIGADE is out in Europe and I bought it -- it's pretty good, but not stellar. HOPE AND GLORY is a dynamite film about kids growing up in a London war zone (WWII) by John Boorman -- I'm amazed this hasn't been released yet. I did not personally care for THE HALLELUJAH TRAIL (saw it in "Cinerama" on B'way) -- it seemed overdone and monotonous even for this teenage movie lover. Is it possible that THE MIRACLE WORKER, MOULIN ROUGE (out in the UK), TOM JONES and, I would add, THE DEFIANT ONES, haven't yet been included in some deal with a boutique label?

ANNA AND THE KING OF SIAM has a pretty nice HD master, but could use further tweaking for Blu release. Perhaps TT will step up to that plate.

I posted this last night on the TT news and information thread, but this seems to be the appropriate place for it instead.

I don't know how far ranging your plans are for Woody Allen releases (I love what you've done so far), but of his somewhat more recent work I'd love to see 'Deconstructing Harry' and 'Sweet and Lowdown'.

So far as the work of other filmmakers that is considered having limited market appeal, or "cult favorite" status, I'd really love to see 'Hurlyburly', 'North Fork', and 'Gods and Monsters' have a Blu-ray release.

I am also waiting for SWEET AND LOWDOWN, as well as HUSBANDS AND WIVES and THE MANHATTAN MURDER MYSTERY. I believe TT could have access to them all.

One movie that captivated me during the early 90's, and has become very hard to find, is Andrei Konchalovsky's 'The Inner Circle' (1991) with Tom Hulce, Bob Hoskins, and Lolita Davidovich. I'd love to see a Blu disc.

 

[Thomas T]

Would love to see The Hallelujah Trail on Blu-ray. Full 2.76 Ultra Panavision image and 5.1 sound from the 6-tracks shown theatrically.

I stand to be corrected but hasn't it already been established that the source material is in very poor shape and that the cost to restore it exceeds its value in the current marketplace? I mean if Twilight Time couldn't give us a fresh hi-def transfer of the roadshow Hawaii, what chance does Hallelujah Trail have?

 

[Alan Tully]

Twilight Time can only release when they're given, & Hawaii & Hallelujah Trail are with MGM, 'nuff said.

I wonder if Sony have done any work on Barabbas & McKenna's Gold?

I totally get that! I wasn't implying that TT didn't bother or doesn't care but that the source material wasn't there. As you say, it's MGM and short of a "fund me" campaign, it's not going to happen.

Once again....THE JOLSON STORY/JOLSON SINGS AGAIN double feature...from Sony. Beautiful 3 strip Technicolor films!

MY SISTER EILEEN....The Cinemascope version Janet Leigh/ Jack Lemmon/ Betty Garrett/ Bob Fosse.

MY SISTER EILEEN....The Cinemascope version Janet Leigh/ Jack Lemmon/ Betty Garrett/ Bob Fosse.

That would be a Day One purchase for me!

 

[Ed Lachmann]

I wonder if Sony have done any work on Barabbas & McKenna's Gold?

Even a Barabbas blu-ray utilizing the same transfer as the forced subtitle French release would be a Day One purchase for me. Still, a new transfer would be sublime and an answer to my prayers.

The OCN of The Hallelujah Trail is probably in rather good shape but that doesn't help very much when it is an unpopular large format movie that we are talking about. Across all studios we have to say that compared to the really big titles a lot of others large format productions are released in subpar quality or not at all so The Hallelujah Trail is not exactly a very special case.

 

[Ethan Riley]

The Trouble With Angels (1966)
Where Angels Go Trouble Follows (1968)

double-feature pack. I think they're both with Sony

Re: The Long Gray Line

Sony has a 4k restoration. So it is likely to be on Blu-ray from somebody at some point. Hopefully not Sony themselves as a BDR. Could be with either Twilight Time or perhaps Criterion.

This is wonderful news! Is it likely to be released anytime soon? If you have insider news from Sony, perhaps they can let you know whether they intend offering it for license to a boutique company.
