    Goodbye, Mr. Chips" (1939)

    To Mr. Robert Harris........would you happen to know what the condition of the existing film elements are on this film?

    Dr. Kildare

    While success is still running high for "Grey's Anatomy", I am surprised that Warner hasn't released any seasoned sets of this classic series. Unless somebody knows otherwise. I hope a release is not too far off in the distant future.

    Would be interested to hear from anyone who has purchased this model. I bought mine in October and it is still in storage as the stand is on backorder. Apparently, Panasonic didn't anticipate the demand and are way behind with shipping accessories.

    "Dirty Dozen" Region 2 aspect ratio

    Sink the Bismarck audio

Mike Restaino in his review on digitalbits said that it was a new 2.0 stereo mix.(It is likely that this track was used for the laserdisc) Well, I don't want a 'new mix'. The original audio format...

    On my Pioneer Elite pro510hd 16x9 tv I cannot view films shot in 1.33:1 in the progressive scan mode, it just switches to 16x9. Is this the same way on all progressive 16x9 tv's, or is the problem related to the dvd player?
