WELLESNET MESSAGE BOARD

I have a vhs copy of The Immortal Story that i bought about 2 years ago which had a unwatchable image and poor sound. It was not letterboxed and when i compared it to the TCM version it was like day and night! TCM must have found a very good print of the film which i am very happy to have recorded. ...

I noticed that there is one difference between the Criterion laserdisc and the Criterion dvd. On the laserdisc the words F for Fake are shown as the films starts but on the dvd the scenes at the train station starts the film. Also comparing both the dvd is much brighter, sharper and with more info o...

Web site DVD BEAVER says that the movie was released on
January 30, 1976 in West Germany. You can go to their web
site and see the review of the dvd in detail.

On May 18th TCM will show Othello, Mr Arkadin, The Immortal
Story, F for Fake, and The Trial. Iam very happy to see that
The Immortal Story will be shown because i have a lousy vhs
copy of it and i hope TCM shows a restored print. Great news
for Welles fans!!

On May 18th Turner Classics Movies (TCM) will show Othello, Mr. Arkadin, The Immortal Story, F for Fake, and The Trial. All of them are on dvd except The Immortal Story which i have a lousy vhs copy so i hope TCM shows a better print of the film. TCM is the best source on tv to show great films and ...

.....lets hope that maybe some archivists looking into some
forgotten vaults might find the missing scenes from The
Magnificent Ambersons.....you never know!!

The dvd versions of Citizen Kane and Fritz Lang's Metropolis i think benefited the most for being on dvd. Both movies were in poor shape for years but when released on dvd both movies look clean, fresh,and sharp with detail i have never seen! As a film buff i am happy the dvd can improve the movies ...

I also agree that the Criterion print of Ambersons looks better than the Criterion print of Citizen Kane but the 50th anniversary edition that Criterion issued looks the best of all the laserdisc versions of Citizen Kane. I think the original negative of Ambersons was better preserved than the negat...

The extras on The Magnificent Ambersons are on the last
side of the laserdiscs after the movie is over. To watch the
movie without the commentary you must change the audio
on the player by pressing the audio button until you only
hear the movie soundtrack.

I have both the CAV and the CLV versions of the movie from The Criterion Collection. The CAV version is gray and comes with 2 discs and the extras. The version with the red cover is one disc and has no extras on it. Both do not have the trailer which i would like to see ( I think the TCM vhs copy ha...

I have close to 200 laserdiscs and have not experienced laser rot but some of my laserdiscs have glue on the edge of the disc which can be wiped away. I have all the Orson Welles laserdiscs that were on the Criterion Collection and all of them are in fine shape. I am still keeping my discs as long a...

I also have purchased from china "The Magnificent Ambersons" for a low low price on dvd. It will be interesting to see how good the picture will look and if it will have any extras! I hope Warner Bros. releases the US version soon!! I also have "F for Fake" but only on laserdisc and it's a good prin...
