Fabiola music deserves a proper hearing
Italian film music fans wanting to hear the score for FABIOLA must be disappointed by the DVD release from the Incredibly Strange Filmworks. The print has quite a bit of damage, especially during the opening scenes, which considerably spoils the effect of the music. A slightly better, though hardly perfect print was previously released on VHS by Sinister Cinema (now also a budget DVD), but again the main title is badly degraded. I’ve not seen the old French video release on Film Office which might be good, but what we really need is an entire restoration of the 3-hour movie, preferably with an accompanying soundtrack CD in stereo, (no harm in dreaming!). Does anyone know of any plans to restore FABIOLA?
