- Jack Clayton's OUR MOTHER'S HOUSE (doesn't Turner own this in spite of public domain claims by bootleggers?)
Turner renewed the copyright on the film in 1995, which basically means that Warners now holds the distribution rights.

???????
b

Re my own: Claude Lelouch's "Live For Life" (perhaps a French release?)
Hal Prince's "Something For Everyone"
And Sidney J. Furie's "Sheila Levine Is Dead And Living In New York"
Shameful all.
Still angry about all 3 of these, and just went to Amazon to see if a DVD of "Something For Everyone" could have slipped past me. No such luck -- all they had was a used copy of the VHS at a inflated prices ($39.99 to $139.95), and I had already bought it long ago on VHS and need to hook up a player to my system just to be able to watch it. Sooooooooooo frustrating!

Have mixed emotions about "Ryan's Daughter" on Blu-ray. I went to see it in Beverly Hills when it was first released, and while it seemed to go on and on, I loved the cinematography as well as Maurice Jarre's music, and have bought the soundtrack on both LP and CD and the movie on both VHS and DVD, I would hesitate to buy it on Blu-ray because I doubt I'd watch it more than once. But it would be nice to see it like it was on the big screen that rainy night I first saw it!

Ron, I agree that it would be a treat to see it on a big screen in its 70mm glory. I also saw it when it first came out, but at the legendary Cooper Theatre in Denver with its 100 ft wide screen. For me the time flew by. Sadly, the theatre was demolished to make way for a shopping center.
I've only seen Ryan's Daughter on film in 35mm, during it's initial release, and then later on laserdisc. About 5 years ago, the American Film Institute advertised a showing, which I attended. Unfortunately, they were unable to secure a print of the film, and ended up projecting the DVD.

Interestingly, the theatre where I saw it was torn down too. It was at the high end corner of Wilshire and Beverly Drive in Beverly Hills, far too pricey for a mere movie theatre, although it was a favorite place for premiering big budget epics -- also saw "Oliver!" there when it first opened, and others that don't come immediately to mind. Most were of the "roadshow" variety, with reserved seating and often an elaborate program with full color photos. Miss those days.

Planet of the Apes, The Swimmer, Deep End, Interlude...ring any bells? The Beverly Theater (which ran Oliver!) was on Beverly Drive but there was another theater on Wilshire a couple of blocks away called the Pacific that had other first run films and some rather spectacular re-engagements like Ben-Hur.

How about the 1958 war movie, The Naked & The Dead, made by RKO, but released by Warner (after RKO's demise). I last saw it on TV in the sixties & after all these years can still remember the scene where a soldier gets bitten by a snake & dies within seconds with white stuff coming out of his mouth. I'd love to see it again in colour & 'scope. And of course there's that great Bernard Herrmann score.
Warners owns the film, so I don't understand why it hasn't appeared from the Warner Archive. It airs periodically on Turner Classic Movies.
I don't think it's ever aired on TCM in the UK, they do have some rare stuff on. Right now there's King Richard & The Crusaders '54, a bit soft, but in 'scope & stereo, I'm recording it, so that's one I can tick off the never seen list.

arthur: Never saw much at the Pacific. I miss those big elaborate single theaters -- always enjoyed the Chinese on Hollywood Blvd, and saw some great things there -- took my little brother and sister to see "Hello, Dolly!" there, and we all loved it. Saw a lot of Bond there, such as the premiere of "Goldfinger," and also "Mary Poppins," which, at the time, left me pretty cold. Don't get out to movies too much these days.
