No Technicolor? This can't be happening!

Well if we can compare cds I have many from when they started and I have a few that got what they used to call digital rot. But these as well seem to have come from one plant. The overwhelming majority that are decades old are fine.

I'd prefer Knots Landing. When you think of all the many many releases we want from Warner I think many of us will have gone to our reward before they'd have a chance to be released. And anyway how many years before the only possible access is through streaming? Everyone I know streams. Of...

Well that was quite wonderful.

Interestingly there are a number of great musical numbers on youtube where if the movie were to be released today there would be a warning yet there are no warnings there. People may comment if they are offended or not but youtube makes no judgement. Thank God. They are there simply to make you...

There are a number of movies like this where you just go along with them and they are very entertaining.

So could other more appealing stars of the period like Petula Clark and Sally Anne Howes. Henderson on screen was always TV sitcom material even before she became a hit in one. And that beautiful supporting player could have been dubbed which would have been preferable. Henderson was no movie...

Ah you are right in NY at the Ziegfeld! That I believe though not road show included advance ticket sales though general seating twice a day or 3 times? I'll have to check Cinema Treasures. I know CC posted its advertisement. Another sign of people not wanting to go to Times Square when it...

If you saw it in mag in NY you might very well have seen it at Loew's State 2. You would remember I think if you saw it at that Cinerama festival. It was a very special event. The only one of its kind ever in NY. Glad you liked the audio so much. It really is terrific. When it comes down in...

I find that strange that the dialogue would be in mono. I've never heard of a print like that. Especially that there is underscoring that should be in stereo. But then Kino managed to get a roadshow print of TMM where the overture and exit music are in mono when in every roadshow theater where...

Yes it is good. But oy I dread those silly dancers. And I saw Appalachian Spring at City Center conducted by Copland and Graham made an appearance at the end for the curtain call. A great night.

He's most obvious in the male dancers of I'll Come Home to Bonnie Jean.

Biggest film of '54 I believe. Though probably someone already said it. I find the second half really falls off a cliff. The trumped up misunderstanding between Clooney and Bing the awful Martha Graham take off and the whole cloyingly sentimental plot and ending seem too phony even for me. At...

I do too. Love Breathless and Bonjour Tristesse. I even like the glammed up lacquered Ross Hunter look in Airport.
