I remember seeing the film in theatres several times in its original release, and the (albeit local) theatres where I saw it did not present any kind of overture...

The underscore of the movie is lovely and I would dearly love to have the complete soundtrack score on CD. What say ye, Kritzerland?

The underscore of the movie is lovely and I would dearly love to have the complete soundtrack score on CD. What say ye, Kritzerland? In a heartbeat, of course. I did the album reissue at Varese. It was my favorite childhood movie - I must have seen it ten times on its original release.

Would you say there's 1,000 such fans or more like 1,200?

It was my favorite childhood movie - I must have seen it ten times on its original release. I saw this a lot, too. Oddly enough, my favorite moment was when everyone dropped down on ropes from the rafters. And the sword fight, when Kaye is alternately a master, then an amateur, depending on the whim of others snapping their fingers. Then, later, when they piled Basil Rathbone onto a catapult, and shot him out over the water. (Curiously violent end to what was otherwise a pretty tame comedy, all things considered. Now it reminds me of those grisly finales to various Grimm's tales, such as when the Queen at Snow White's wedding is forced to wear red-hot iron shoes and dance until she drops down dead....) Since Paramount has saved so much else, I wonder if the tracks to this exist somewhere...
