Does anyone know if Olive has the rights to other Paramount features such as "I Walk Alone"?Originally Posted by MartinTeller
I love that Olive is doing so much noir... I just wish there were more that I was interested in. I'm lukewarm on both of those. Oh well, I'm sure they'll get to more of my favorites in due time
I believe the correct aspect ratio for THE BIG COMBO (1955) is 1:85 to 1. Hopefully Olive does this right. John Alton's photography on this film would be something wonderful to see if the transfer is good.
It is 1.85.1. Olive will most likely either use that AR or open it up a bit to 1.78.1 (aka 16.9), like they've done with other 1.85.1 films like Private Hell 36 (1954). I'm fine either way, as the difference between the two is negligible.
DVDBeaver reviews for City That Never Sleeps and Champion.
Pre-orders are being taken for the blu-ray version of Leave Her To Heaven at Screen Archives. Might be a little high at $29.95, but I do love this film and Gene Tierney's icy portrayal of Ellen, a woman who loves too much.
On a side note... I haven't been here in a while and have a lot of catching up to do. Gordonl56 you have been very busy.
