Looks like about an hour and a half of new supplemental material on Sunset Blvd, though it appears the "The Making of Sunset Boulevard" featurette from the previous disc is missing. I'm sure it has been rendered redundant by the newer material however. I'm curious to see how much improvement has been made in the transfer department - the 2002 edition was a real beauty.

Paramount in the 50's is currently available on many Paramount DVDs of movies friom the fifties including the current Sunset Blvd, Sabrina, and Funny Face.
Really just a promo for the DVDs. Sunset Blvd was restored for the current DVD release. Scanned onto a computer and then converted back to film. They showed the restored film at MOMA prior to the DVD release. I doubt it will look any better in another SD release. Double dip only if you can't live without the extras. |

It's possible, however, that the material in the featurette on the previous disc was re-edited and included here. Perhaps that one called "The Beginning" is it, but with part of it edited into another featurette.
|
Any info on if they'd improve the video quality for this new version (not that the previous edition had a bad transfer or anything)?
|
I keep thinking <i>"no.... no .... no"</i> but I'm sure the first time there's one of our favorite semi-annual sales, I'll be saying <i>"yes ... yes .... yes"</i> to <b>SUNSET BOULEVARD</b>.

DVD Beaver on Sunset Blvd.
|
Sunset Boulevard for me I love this movie!! What is the release date please as it's late and I have just logged in so haven't read the details?
|
Mae West
How I wish that Paramount still owned the movies of Mae West ( whose early movies were responsible for saving Paramount from bankruptcy !! ) as they would have far superior remastered versions/extras than were produced by Universal for it's Mae West box set.

DVDBeaver on Roman Holiday.
|
I need to pick up Roman Holiday and Sabrina sometime in the near future.
Good to see more Hepburn titles are on the way. |

Re: The Official Paramount Centennial Collection Thread
So the Peter Bogdanovich and Laurent Bouzereau commentary from the previous SE of To Catch a Thief has been dropped? Lame. :down: And enough with the triple dips already Paramount, give me Nashville and Shane!

Re: The Official Paramount Centennial Collection Thread
Picked up Sabrina and Roman Holiday over the holiday season.
Probably will pick up "Funny Face" and "Breakfast At Tiffany's" soon. Breakfast At Tiffany's is almost an automatic upgrade with the inclusion of Mr. Yunioshi - An Asian Perspective as an extra :) |
