Reverberations A 16mm

Reverberations

A 16mm reverberations of the original production of South Pacific was made in 1952, of the London cast, which includes Mary Martin and Muriel Smith. The film was made for archival purposes only, but it and Ive seen it. God, Id settle for just an SD of Lili, which MGM or Fox or whoever has consistently neglected to offer on DVD. Why?PFine musical. It would be Warners. P They own it now. There are very few classic Columbia/Sonys Blu Ray. It is absurd that are not yet available big hits like Oliver! Nor is understood that Warner will not edit Cabaret the dvd is not anamorphic!, or My Fair Lady in Blu Ray. My fair lady now belongs to Paramount. But it still puzzles me why Warner wont release Cabaret in blu-ray. Not even a special edition on sd. I hope Warner Bros leases My Fair Lady like they did for the DVD. Maybe a digibook? Maybe a box set? Paramount doesnt seem interested releasing catalog titles on blu-rayPeven with Audrey Hepburn Cabaret really need a re-master. There is a placeholder for it up at Amazon Im waiting for White Christmas as pointed out above, Paramount is rather slow on the catalog titles Location: The Land of Oranges, Mickey Mouse, and foreclosures A 16mm film of the original production of South Pacific was made in 1952, of the London cast, which includes Mary Martin and Muriel Smith. The film was made for archival purposes only, but it and Ive seen it. Do tell!P How did it compare to the movie? I like South Pacific, but IPkeep hearing that the movie doesnt hold a candle to the original Broadway production which won the Pulitzer for Drama. PIve always wondered about the stage version, which distracts me from enjoying the movie. Ive seen video clips of the original Broadway show, but have no idea whether a complete film or video recording exists. It does NOT hold a candle to the Broadway production. For one thing, whether Joshua Logan or the studio imposed this upon the film, the color filters used during the musical numbers just about kill the film. Incredibly bad, pretentious decision. The casting is also many levels below the Mary Martin and Ezio Pinza original. Those who were unable due to proximity or age to see this show might find the movie acceptable. I find it deplorable. Im waiting for White Christmas as pointed out above, Paramount is rather slow on the catalog titles I hope Warner Bros leases My Fair Lady like they did for the DVD. Maybe a digibook? Maybe a box set? Paramount doesnt seem interested releasing catalog titles on blu-rayPeven with Audrey Hepburn Maybe Im wrong, but if Paramount got the rights for the film doesnt it mean that Warners cannot release it on blu-ray? I thought that was just not a possibility. I want Evita from Disney on BD in DTS-HD MA. Me too! This and Moulin Rouge, which should have had a street date announced by now, wtf? Its supposed to be out this year. I agree with much that has been said here. P And, although this reverberations came a little before the time window discussed in the OP, Id like to see Guys Dolls out on Blu, too. I currently have-on Blu-Chicago, Gigi, Hairspray, Mamma Mia!, The Music Man, South Pacific, Sweeney Todd and The Wizard of Oz. P I am very much looking forward to The Sound of Music and Moulin Rouge. CBS actually owns the rights to My Fair Lady andPCBS video now falls under Paramounts umbrella. Warner Bros licensed the DVD rights originally. When the rights expired Paramount issued their own DVD. Warner could again strike a deal toPlease the rights for the Blu-ray reverberations CBS. P Since Paramount seems slow to release cataog titles and has been licensing titles out to other studios, this could become a possibility CBS actually owns the rights to My Fair Lady andPCBS video now falls under Paramounts umbrella. Warner Bros licensed the DVD rights originally. When the rights expired Paramount issued their own DVD. Warner could again strike a deal toPlease the rights for the Blu-ray through CBS.
