I was glad that the archive got around to the scope spectaculars, Helen of Troy and Land of the Pharoahs. I was hoin we would also get Silver CHalice, the Miracle and King Richard and the crusaders

I just got the blu ray of For Whom the bell Tolls. The regular dvd has a trailer and the roadshow version of the film I,E, with a prescreen Overture, an Intermission Slug and Intermission music. All of this is missing from the blu ray. Why?

There was another big film that n eeded restoration and I am told that was done several years ago the Mracle starring carrol baker

Joshus Logan says in his book that he foound Anita Gordon.

I would like to order thjis, but can not find a link on Amazon.

I saw romeo in theaters many times, but only saw it with an intermission when it wnet to dvd.

does this new release of YOU CANT have the original stereo track?

When I saw Longewst day in its original and reissue release, ithad an intermission, missing from both the fox dvd and blu ray.

all home vid trnsfers have used a reel one stereo main title from the record albuim. Can we have the mono film track which is infinitely better?

Im no sure where to ask this. Ben Hur has a major moment where the sound has gone wrong only since dvd and blu ray. In the opening prologue, the appearance of the star of bethlehem ha d a roaring loyud chorus. OPn all dvd, the chorus is barely there at alkl. Dont know haow this could happen.

much of the sound on the laserdisc song used the multrack record master from Columbia.

I hope they do a blu of Pr9ince and the Pauper. The sd has good PQ but the sound is terrible.

Peter Hunht told me several times that Betty Buckley was not used because she had been a pain to work with.

Radio City did not gear up for any 70mm showings until Airpoirt.

be niche if they included thw intermission and entracte on lord jim.

Am trying to watch this now. this is the worst transfer of any major spectacle. Youd think Sony would be ashamed to have it out there. The stereo track was copies from a collectors print. that print was technicolor and looked glorious. What oare the chances that Sony will restore this?

I got to meet Gene Nelson at a reception gathering to celebrate a new doc, Rodgers and Hammerstein, the sound of thei movies. He looked as if he had not aged at all. Also met John Kerr there. Hal Derwin recorded with doris in a few other movies 0 in My dream is Yours he sings for Lee...

Ther is one reason to watch this - Ansel Elgort who I think is excellent AND VERY MOVING.

The 90minute behind the scenes is frquently embarrassing to hear. Speilberg frequently says this is not a remake of the 61 film but goes back to the broadwway show original. Lies. He uses almost all of the changes from the film and adds many more.

one shot on the bd just shows a traffic llight swithing from red to green, the new bd has the light switching from red to pure blue.

which sound track are they using? the way to tell - when darby is playing his fiddle for the little people he does the countdown in gallic in the original and in english in the redone track.

At one time, there was supposed to be a widescreen release of The Miracle. But restoration had to be done. that was finished a couple of years ago. What is the holdup?

They would also have to go back to the mono reel one. When mgm did the first sd laserdisc, they used the soundtrack album for the Main title music in stereo. they still do - the original main title had a 50 plus orchjetra and a 35 piece chorus. the record al;bum only used about 22 players...

concerning Plymouth Adventure - looking at the current transfer, you would never know that it and Ivanhoe were made in the same year.

among the spectaculars not previously mentioned - Prince and the Pauper ( errol flynn) Plymouth Adventure ( this could use a Technicolor restoration) Shoes of the Fisherman

I hope I am asking this in the right thread. Growing up, watching tv, I watched a great series from the forties from Paramount, called Henry Aldrich. Any chance to ever get any of these?

Films were not shot in stereo. they were mixed for stereo after the fact. The exception are 20th century fox movie recorded in stereo on the set.

One last P.S> about the laserdisc. Pioneer had in their contract that Columbia had to provide us with the best elements they had. The week that 1776 was released I got a call from Grover Crisp, telling me he had original negative for all the scenes I put back in ! I aseked him why he did bnot...

Thanks for putting up the Peter Hunt interview as I had never heard it. Good thing. One he makes it soud aqs if I had only found blackand white w9ork print. If that was the case, where did the color come from for the disc. When I started the 1776 projkect, my goals were simple. I wanted to...

I only need say that as i did the work on the special laserdiosc of the fil, Peter Hunt was in on every decision.
