The rapport doing the commentary sounds wonderful. I wonder if anyone ever did a play about two old friends doing a commentary, but maybe some drama could be made up (to go in during the session) and the taping of the audio keeps going. Could be very "Gin Game." Maybe use the actual commentary as a starting point, so the author credit could be "by Bruce Kimmel and Cindy Williams." (Or maybe a "My Dinner With Andre" kind of movie? But who could star in it?)
Nice review in AudioFile Magazine of the audio edition of my stage play, CLIFTON WEBB, brilliantly performed by John A. Boulanger. You can download it via audio.com, Amazon or iTunes."Narrator John Boulanger gracefully introduces the multitalented Clifton Webb from the 1940s-50s. Webb excelled at ballroom dancing, opera (he had 24 parts "ready to go"), stage, and screen. Boulanger's portrayal of Webb is subtle, while his depiction of snobbish Maybelle, Webb's mother, is forceful as she dominates his life. Listeners will enjoy hearing about Webb's most famous--and hilarious--role in SITTING PRETTY as prim and proper Lynn Belvedere, who is a nanny to three children. Sound effects add atmosphere throughout. The repartee of Webb and his Hollywood friends offers a light touch.

TODI love commentaries. For me, the two best kinds of "extras" are commentaries and interviews. Of course it should go without saying that none of these should be fluff, but unfortunately, there are a great many worthless ones out there. But good commentaries and interviews are what TEACH you about a film or some aspect of film or of the people involved, and there's nothing better than that.Favorite ones? That's a tough one. Well, a couple of the all time champs were Nick Redman and Julie Kirgo, and I do hope she gets back into doing them one of these days. The ones I've already heard BK do are wonderful. The first one I heard was FIRST NUDIE MUSICAL with Nick Redman, followed by the Bert I. Gordon one with his lovely ladies (which film was that one on?). One more mention of Nick Redman goes to any and all of the Peckinpah films in which he collaborated with his fellow experts. These are simply extraordinary conversations, every one of which I'm positive would reward multiple viewings and hearings.There are many other fine ones which my brain is unable to rattle off right now, both solo efforts and conversations. Again, when they're great, they're worth the price of admission for someone like me.
I don't have the release yet myself, but the commentary on the new SWEET CHARITY Blu-ray has gotten slammed from one end to the other by everyone who's heard it and taken the trouble to mention it. And what a shame. Talk about yer wasted opportunities.
I cannot wait for my campaign button!
I spoke with buster last night, they are sticking on gS , water and supplies but overall are unconcerned about the impending storm. They plan to ride it out with friends as they did for Irma.. their friends ( the best man and maid of honor) own a concrete home with storm shutters

It's Kat Ellinger, one of these Dr. Drew Casper types, a know-nothing know-it-all whose knowledge all comes from books and the Internet. She also has a very annoying voice, and knows nothing about Sweet Charity so tries to do all this pedantic junk in her commentary.
