NBC Saturday Night at the Movies

Today I received two new DVD versions of this great movie from Amazon. They both sucked, as usual. Neither of them included the edited scene from the fight, and neither of them had a decent picture.

One of them did include the 20th Century Fox logo which is missing from previous versions, along with stereo sound of Bernrad Herrmann's great music.

But in view of the lousy picture and the missing scenes, I'm still waiting for a good HD version of this great movie.

What the hell is wrong with Hollywood? Don't they realize what they have and how much we're willing to pay for it?

I remember NBC Saturday Night at the Movies very well as a kid growing up in the early to mid 1960's.

They started out with How To Marry A Millionaire and other Fox 'scope titles from the first generation of widescreen movies.

I remember King of the Khyber Rifles (music also by Bernard Herrmann) Hell and High Water, Night People, Broken Lance, Black Widow, River of No Return, and The Seven Year Itch.

Then they also ran pre-CinemaScope Fox titles like White Witch Doctor, Snows of Kilamanjaro and Niagara.

Then, in 1964 they started NBC Monday Night at the Movies with more Fox titles like Heaven Knows, Mr. Alison and The Enemy Below.
Then they got into the MGM library with Singin in the Rain and The Band Wagon,
Paramount titles Sunset Blvd and Stalag 13, a bunch of UA stuff like Two For The See Saw, then by the late 60's most of their titles were from Universal. And by that time all the networks were getting big ratings from showing prime time movies.

But NBC started it all with those early CinemaScope/DeLuxe Color movies from 20th, which, ironically enough were pan and scanned and not seen by me in color, cause we didn't have a color set; but that's why that library appealed to NBC in the first place because they were the only all color network back then.
