Does anyone know if the MGM 65mm OCN of Raintree County still exists?

Valley of the Dolls Two for the Road

That would make the second role I know of that Gere inherited because Travolta turned it down. The other was the role of Bill in Days of Heaven.

I agree that they’re terrific but I would add the ‘74 The Great Gatsby, ‘79 Alien and all the wonderful Richard Amsel posters: Lucky Lady, Murder on the Orient Express and Death on the Nile to that group.

I never thought this was a very good movie but at the time of its release it had a HUGE cultural impact. What young man didn’t want to look like Richard Gere in 1980? I sure did!

When someone says that an original negative exists but can’t be accessed, what does that mean? Is it privately owned by a collector?

I didn’t care too much for this movie the first time I watched it on TCM because I really dislike war movies, but it must have been Robert Osborne’s favorite film because they played it constantly during his tenure there. I then watched it several times over the years and now have the highest...

I was disappointed with the clip included in my set. I really wanted something with Audrey Hepburn. Instead I got Rex Harrison and Wilfred Hyde-White at the ball. Oh well!!

Does anyone know if Arnold’s original dialog is included here?

When the movie was first announced they gave away posters and my brother brought home a copy. It was an EVENT MOVIE! I loved the poster so much I framed it and hung it up in my bedroom. I then went to the World Trade Center to watch them film the closing scenes. When it came out the picture...

I recall seeing that bone as well, but maybe it was just a hallucination we both had after watching 35 year old Karen Black play a teenager for two and a half hours.

Terrific movie. Strange and badly done cover art.
