Wow. I really want that collection! I could do without Gentlemen's Agreement, but A Face in the Crowd, East of Eden, and A Streetcar Named Desire are three of my favs. It'd be nice to own them on something other than VHS!
ReplyDeleteI saw 'A Letter to Elia' too (wrote about it on my blog - link is at my name). I liked how it was as much about Scorsese's life and career as it was Kazan's. I found it quite moving at times, to see how much Kazan's films have meant to Scorsese. I think maybe I'll watch some Kazan next week.
ReplyDeleteGreat review--interesting point about the different studios; & glue dots--who knew? & good job by Carlos!
ReplyDeleteExcellent! I had the pleasure of viewing the restored prints used for this set for four of these films recently (Wild River, Viva Zapata!, A Gentlemen's Agreement, and A Tree Grows in Brooklyn), and was simply blown away. This set really is a treasure. Congrats on your acquisition!
ReplyDeleteGreat job!!! I never saw any of the movies but I will check them out. Great description of the boxed set you bought!
ReplyDeleteHi Raquelle!
ReplyDeleteA big thank you from France for your lovable review. I enjoyed it. I hope the book will be translated in French and available separetely, I already own all the french DVDs. Like you, "East of Eden" is not my favorite movie of Kazan. Two of my faves are not in the box set: "The Arrangement" and "The Visitors" (or I didn't listen to you very well). I hope you already have them.
I'll stop by your blog regularly since I think it's neat, entertaining and since I'm very found of classic movies.
Cheers!
