I must say that I was the person who first wrote about this discovery on another board. It spread very quickly to various other boards, including yours. The original news was mentioned by Patrick Brion who is the chief movie programmer on channel 'France 3' (he has been showing classics on it since ...

A Time to Love and A Time to Die came out recently on DVD in France:

It's a very good Sirk.

I'll try to reply to everybody. Melwalton : Of course, Colman made some great pictures after he left Goldwyn in 1933. And most of these are easily available on DVD or on TV. I too love Tale of Two Cities , Lost Horizon , Light That Failed (though I don't always like the way Wellman directed) and A D...

Paul Bäumer= All Quiet on the Western Front played by Lew Ayres

Sgt Heppelfinger

I don't know this game. But I know the answer to this one.

Mary Duchess of Towers = Peter Ibbetson (1935) played by Ann Harding.

My turn:

Vicki Gaye = ?

No, I haven't. But, I'll definitely look for it. :wink: Next summer, the Paris cinémathèque organises a full retrospective of Leisen. :D I can't wait to see some of his rarest films. So far, I have seen Midnight , Easy Living , Arise My Love , Death Takes a Holiday , Hands Across the Table . I also ...

Well, Fernando, you've seen quite a few! :) Bizarrely five of these were released in the UK on VHS in the 90s and never in the US: perhaps there are some film rights problems? The Devil To Pay (1930) played recently on TCM US as part of an homage to Loretta Young. It's a fabulous comedy and I would ...

I completely agree Dewey! :) Brackett & Wilder wrote one of the most hilarious script ever. It's always been one of my favourite comedies. Easy Living which I saw recently on a big screen boast a really funny Preston Sturges script. Some scenes are just wonderful: Jean Arthur and Ray Milland fig...

If you are a fan of Mitchell Leisen, two of his best comedies are coming out on DVD on April 22, 2008 from Universal in the US:

Midnight (1939) http://homevideo.universalstudios.com/t ... itleId=961

http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa123/cleteux/SilverScreen/Portrait1930RCJan30A.jpg As I already mentioned in my introduction, I am very fond of this British actor who made (nearly) his whole career in America. He is very sadly overlooked nowadays. I am pretty furious because he was a role model...

I love Loretta Young's precodes as well. Especially Zoo in Budapest and Man's Castle . I saw Man's Castle for the first time in 1986 in a cinema in Paris. The print was darkish, but, I immediately love it. Luckily, I managed to tape the film on British TV some years later. But, if you read Hervé Dum...

:o Borzage's LUCKY STAR (1929) with Farrell, and Janet Gaynor, is yet another film which only survives in truncated form. The last two reels appear to be completely lost? As is the Vintage Movie-tone track? I taped Lucky Star on French TV in 1994. As far as I know, the film is complete. It was show...

If you go to the website of the German Film Museum, you'll get more details regarding this edition: http://www.edition-filmmuseum.com/product_info.php/language/en/info/p59_The-River.html/XTCsid/9f7605354e3cb2843f4a38c7ac526152 Actually, it's available to order now!!! :D I think I'm going to order AS...

Thanks very much for the warm wellcome!!! :D Thanks for the picture of Condemned , this is one of my favourite pictures. 8) As for Prestige , I discovered it recently and was amazed by the fluidity of the camera work. Some aspects of the film are downright racist, quite typical of 'colonial pictures...

I am not quite sure I am posting at the right place...but I'll go ahead anyway. Just let know if I am in the wrong thread. :wink: I just joined your Forum and I am looking forward to some interesting discussion on movies. I have been a movie lover for about 20 years. At the moment, I am trying very ...
