Thank you DR Danise for sharing your adventures.
My second trip to NYC was so much less daunting. Hope you get there again before too long. We walked everywhere too.

Why are DVD from the Criterion Collection so expensive? There are so many I would love to have but paying Almost $40 is a bit steep

Tomovoz · « **Reply #126 on:** May 30, 2004, 07:05:36 PM »

"Whistle Down The Wind" is just plain wonderful.

I like the musical too (not that I've seen it) but it really has none of the charm and innocence of the movie. You could believe in the children and in their wanting to believe.

Try other sources, such as Ebay. . . .I paid under $20 for the each of the Hitchcock's there.
Hey! I remember when a Criterion Laserdisc Collection prices were outrageously high. . .$124.95 for THE LAST PICTURE SHOW, which btw, is the only way of seeing an uncensored cut of the film - - the dvd has been edited.
I was wondering if DR MattH's pool party was going to be similar to the one in THE LAST PICTURE SHOW. . . .

And talking about Whistle Down the Wind did anyone ever see the Lloyd Webber musical of it?

Tomovoz · « **Reply #133 on:** May 30, 2004, 07:17:32 PM »

The show closed before I got to London last time - and I had bought tickets! Ended up seeing The Witches Of Eastwick. Friends saw WDTW in London and loved it - and they are English.
Usual criticism is that the story is at odds with itself - the Revivalist Southern take detracts from the simplicity of the story. I enjoy the Cast recording (despite the accents!) and the concept pop recording.

WHISTLE DOWN THE WIND, I had forgotten about that.

td, classy page dance.

I forgot to mention the highlight of our day. We spoke to our son in Romania, after multiple attempts to connect. Once we connected the echo (and not our sweet girl) was so bad we had to call back. Fifteen minutes later we finally got through. At some point we couldn't hear him any more, though he could hear us, so we hung up and repeated the process of calling. A bit later we were disconnected again when an operator came on and said our party had hung up. Of course he had not done so. All in all it was a nice conversation, but difficult to hear. We can't wait to have a conversation in person with him. We have so many questions for him and want to know more about his life there but we miss half of what he says on the phone.

I just ran out to get some movies. With all this talk of disaster movies, I rented THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE and THE TOWERING INFERNO, which I've never seen. (I have seen THE P.A.) I also picked up Penn & Teller's BULLSH*T, which I've also never seen. BK--which episodes did you work on?

I'm still having large point-size issues... $:-\$

Jane · « **Reply #137 on:** May 30, 2004, 07:44:58 PM »

I'm signing off for the night and turning off the computer. We are going to watch GOOD DOG about aliens that look like dogs. We expect it to be bad but there is a Bernese Mountain Dog (like Echo) in it.

While the MSRP of Criterions are forty for some double discs, they are always available for at least twenty percent off.

BK: Just saw you with the snails and the chiropractic coat. You're evil! How in the world were you able to keep a straight face??

My favorite Peter Sellers... DOCTOR STRANGELOVE
(I initially wrote it "DR" rather than "Doctor," but didn't want to confuse some thinking we had a Dear Reader Strangelove)

I mustn’t forget THE MOUSE THAT ROARED.

That was the first play I was ever in. Played Professor Kokintz, inventor of the Q-bomb, my freshman year in high school.

Look at the outtakes - there were a couple of times I almost lost it. Penn and Teller LOVED Dr. Learly.

Tonight I shall be watching Whistle Down the Wind starring Miss Hayley Mills, one of the finest child actresses ever.

One of my absolute favorite movies! It isn't on DVD is it???

Wow, took a nap and slept for about 3 hours! Yikes! Now the day is gone and it is dark out! LOL!

Gonna fix some dinner a pop in another movie I think.

I'm watching the Memorial Day Concert on PBS that had Brian Stokes Mitchell and Marin Mazzie at the beginning of the show. It's quite good and emotional. Has anyone else been watching this?

Back from a lovely day with good friends and fantastic food: baby back ribs cooked probably the best I have ever had them. How good? I ate two racks of them.

The sun, after playing peek-a-boo with rain clouds this morning, decided to stay out and give us a glorious day in the low 80s, and this evening, the stars were out, and we sat outside just talking about how wonderful life is and how lucky we are to have it.

Memorable evening.

The Disney DVD discs of POLLYANNA and THE PARENT TRAP are pristine DVD transfers. Gorgeous to watch.

bk · « **Reply #147 on:** May 30, 2004, 09:22:50 PM »

MBarnum, it is on DVD in region 2, UK. Very good looking transfer, but full-frame (movie originally 1:66).

bk · « **Reply #148 on:** May 30, 2004, 09:31:09 PM »

Update: There is now a brand new region 2 DVD of both Whistle Down the Wind and Tiger Bay, both enhanced for widescreen DVDs, both budget priced, and both with commentaries by Hayley Mills. Order from amazon.uk

Now that is good news. Horst as well as Hayley.
