Both Mr. Harris and his battles with awto-korrect are legendary.

If this film comes out on disc, it will surely be immortal: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt27654371/

Not only do I agree, but I would point out that many of these financial types also obsess with counting "beans" (e.g., the Warner Archive) while not giving a critical eye on the bigger items on the menu (e.g., the latest $200M DC Comics extravaganza, or [HBO]Max). Also, I believe George...

Normally I would as well, but BFI's Women in Love and The Devils are very high quality items. Also, The Music Lovers received a higher profile release in the UK than in the US, so I am confident in assuming that BFI will take good care of homegrown product.

If the Women in Love experience is any guide, this will probably get a stateside release soon from Criterion, who has been rumored to have sat on this title for quite a while. Nevertheless, I placed my order last night directly from BFI. I have been waiting for this title for eons. It's just...

Interesting Post. Mine include: The Greatest Story Ever Told Porgy and Bess El Cid The Fall of the Roman Empire The Great Waltz (1972) But I'm not expecting any of these to surface. There are some other films, mostly with large format photography, which I would definitely upgrade from my...

All of these delays in releasing discs, as well as underestimating demand so that producing second pressings is needed (like Oppenheimer and the Cameron extravaganzas), makes me wonder if the disc manufacturers have made the same mistake as computer chip manufacturers did during the pandemic and...

No, it was the Korvette's in Bailey's Crossroads*, a Virginia suburb of Washington DC. When it first opened, it was a giant one-company strip mall with Korvette's Food, Korvette's Tire and Auto, Korvette's Furniture, and then the two-story main department store. Besides the camera department...

It was a Ken Films release. eBay to the memory rescue

Wow, childhood memories. My family had an 8mm projector, and they bought me a short snippet from this film at E.J. Korvette's camera department. I was into home theater before the term existed!

I would add Dear Heart, with Geraldine Page, Glenn Ford, and Angela Lansbury, for its imagery of the original and magnificent Pennsylvania Station in NYC.

... and even greater tag line. They don't write 'em like they used to.

I miss that store, and the nearby HMV as well.

DTS Stereo from a hundred years ago! :biggrin:

The spring sale starts Thursday, as per the Insider on "that other forum".

I saw this film in the late, not-so-great Roth's Americana Theatre in Annandale, VA, with a friend who had a very distinctive laugh. While I found the film entertaining in a goofy and amusing way, he found it hilarious and almost got us thrown out of the theatre. The 2015 New York Encores...

WORM is a lot of fun, almost as outrageous as some of Russell's earlier, bigger budget extravaganzas. Amanda Donohue writhing out of her snake basket was a hoot.

Perhaps you are new to the humor style of Mr. Harris, which Angelo Columbus brilliantly emulated.

Off-topic I know (at least in the case of EL CID), but does the Insider or anyone else know why Anchor Bay/Pinewood were able to put out great Blu-Rays of Bronston's CIRCUS WORLD and 55 DAYS AT PEKING in 2014, and stopped there. I would have thought that EL CID and THE FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE...

Based on past experience (Roma, The Irishman, Marriage Story, etc.) it might be released via Criterion

I'm trying to remember if THE WIZARD OF OZ has ever been broadcast on TCM. I'm thinking that it might not have been, given how widely licensed the film has been to other stations and streamers.

As I recall, a couple of years ago there was mention of Warner Bros. Motion Picture Imaging acquiring a 65mm film scanner. With the exception of the Christopher Nolan films and the second Wonder Woman film, I am unaware of any recent WB films shot even partially on 65mm film. I presumed the new...

Vitagraph is not the same as Vitaphone.

While we're at it, I suspect there was no 1928 version of "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner", and if there were, the subject of an interracial marriage would have REALLY been controversial. We point these out because we love.

In VHS quality, regretably.

I think social media is a factor, but you also have to add helicopter parenting and the devaluation of the humanities, especially history, in the American education system. Perhaps future generations will find the violence in many of today's films to be equally problematic, and will attach...

THE GREAT WALTZ (1972) has been on my wish list for years. I'd even appreciate a legal DVD of the film.
