Re: Jerry Lewis garnering attention FB though he is still al
Recent post in Marx Bros. blog states that a member once saw a "complete" print of A NIGHT AT THE OPERA in France. It had more dialogue than the American prints. It was in English, but subtitled. The viewer felt that after a while they didn't even bother putting subtitles when Groucho was speaking b...

Re: House of Wax/Mystery of the Wax Museum Blu-ray Specs
I, too, was very disappointed when the HOUSE OF WAX/MYSTERY OF THE WAX MUSEUM DVD came out about 10 years ago. The color was all off for Mystery. I kept my MGM/UA Laser Disc because the color on that was truer to 2 strip technicolor. Then I was excited when I saw that Warner Home Video had a limited...

Re: Laurel & Hardy Essential Collection
Just noticed that this set is ranked #117 in overall DVD sales; not bad for an 80-year-series of films. By contrast, the first season of the well-regarded TV series "Community" ranks at #660. But everyone knows there's no money to be made in releasing old B&W movies. Are you seriously suggesting a ...

Re: OUR GANG's "NOISY NOISES" (1929)
Maltin's book on Our Gang stated that the orignal discs were missing, though even it's revised edition, that source is quite dated and it's possible that the discs have surfaced during the interim. That is true. In the past 15 years, or so, the VITAPHONE DISCS for Laurel & Hardy's "WE FAW DOWN" wer...

In regards to cropping.

Compare that with the Warner Home Video DVD release. If you know the scene w...
