When I was about 6 to 8 years old (1972-1974), I remember seeing a clip on TV of a man shoving another man out of a high window. It was a black-and-white clip from an old movie. I remember the man yelling as he fell. The "falling" was an old-fashioned special effect--I think the actor was not...

I've noticed in old movies (like the 1940s version of The Big Sleep) and in TV shows such as Mannix that California registration info was posted in cars somewhere around the driver's visor. If a car was unlocked, as in Bogie's and Mannix's cases, anyone could look in and see the driver's name...

I've been looking forward to today's R1 release of this Michael Caine film but am worried by various reports of full-screen or 1.85:1 aspect ratios for the DVD. I finally found a rear-cover shot today that shows 1.85:1 as the DVD ratio. I'm hoping this is a misprint and that this Panavision film...

This is mentioned occasionally in one thread or another, but what is the best source (Internet or print) for details on the fire and on exactly what films were lost in the fire? Does anyone know the exact date of the fire?

Lately I've watched several films in Fox's outstanding noir DVD series, and it's gotten me wondering about something I've noticed in the past regarding Fox films in general from c. 1945-55. Many of these films list only 6-10 names in the opening credits, although at least 12-20 people had...

A friend of mine who saw this in a theatre back in the '70s, and IMDb seems to back him up, swears this was shot in Panavision and should be 2.35:1 on DVD. However, the back of MGM's DVD says "1.66 DVD screen format." All Internet references list 1.66, and I can't seem to find a review of the...

I noticed that in the last day or so, California Split has appeared on the Movies Unlimited list of upcoming releases. They say it's coming out Nov. 2 at a list price of $24.99. That sounds like a "Columbia price," although I know some have speculated on the likelihood of the title being farmed...
