Blu-ray Eternity?
In his 11.12 "Notes on a Season" column, Pete Hammond reports that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is premiering a digital restoration of From Here to Eternity (1953) on 11.18 at 7:30 pm in the Samuel Goldwyn Theatre. Which means not just a new DVD but a Bluray will be issued before long. I'm profoundly and eternally queer for any and all Blurays of monochrome classics. (Unless it's Criterion's The Third Man, a grainstorm horror.)
Taken in May 2001 at Halona Cove/Blowhole beach on the southeast coast of Oahu, where Eternity director Fred Zinneman shot Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr, etc.

Monterey Movie Tours claim that this scene actually didn't come out well and that what is seen in the film was reshot in Monterey (http://www.montereymovietours.com/).

I would welcome any of Zinneman's films on Blu-ray.

Speaking of Criterion, they announced their February releases, and LOLA MONTES and MAKE WAY FOR TOMORROW are among the titles, which cheers me no end.

Oh, I don't know, Lipranzer. I think, aside from being prim and antique, "Make Way For Tomorrow" will also be some kind of grainstorm nightmare. Just saying.

Maybe so, but I don't worry about that so much.

I recently read Jone's epic novel FHTE and thereafter rewatched the film for the first time in ages. I am disappointed to say neither completely held up to today's standards. There are pleasures to be sure, but neither can be considered classics.

The novel is trippy and kind of nuts, The film, as all-star things go, isn't bad, Nothing classic about it.

What? I showed it to my wife recently, and she was completely captivated. One of the great Best Picture winners. Not sure if I approve of the weird colorization in the image used for this entry, though. :)
