Horrible print on TCM!


The print of Frenchman's Creek routinely showed on Turner Classic Movies is a downright shame. All that gorgeous scenery, not to mention a breathtaking Joan Fontaine, and the Technicolor is almost faded to white in certain spots! Turner needs to pony up for a restoration, because not only is the film compelling, it's a spectacle of sight and sound.

You ain't lyin', sis. I just squinted my way through it night before last. I think the Lux Radio adaptation must've looked better.

Jdsuggs, that was very funny. I like your sense of humor and I'm going to take a look at some of your other remarks. Good call.

Thanks, laxlon- and conversely, I am for sure havin' 'Schmuck' carved on my tombstone!
