    We're No Angels in VistaVision was one of the great movie experiences of my life. That print was absolutely stunning, like going back in time. And it's a great movie. Thank you so much for bringing it to us.

    LG... I was an extra on a TV movie back in 1967-68... a police drama, and had breakfast with Aldo Ray, who was the bad guy in the production. I absolutely loved 'We're No Angels', and he told me a lot about the production, which was shot on a movie set. I also had a chance to quiz Peter Ustinov on the same film, back in the 1980s, on the set of '80 Days Around the World'... I felt fortunate to have met both these fine actors!!!

    Large - North By Northwest visually was stunning.

  • @JustMoody13 · 1 year ago

    This was awesome! Thanks for sharing this with us. I guess I would have to go with North by Northwest for my favorite Vistavision film and the Large shirt if I&apos;m lucky. I&apos;ve already pre-ordered the 4K disc of Sunset Boulevard. I can&apos;t wait to see how incredible it can look. Thanks for all your hard work, and thanks for making me aware that I am incredibly interested in so many aspects of film making that I never knew I gave a damn about before hearing you two discuss them.
