This movie is one of the best arguments for buying a LaserDisc player. On the
disc I have, there is a running comentary on a secondary audio channel by
Leonard J. Leff about the making of the film and Hitchcockk's relationship 
with Selznick. There are also screen tests of Anne Baxter, Margret Sullavan,
Loretta Young, Vivien Leigh and Joan Fontaine (all trying out for Fontaine's
part), a deleted scene, letters between H and S about the film, costume tests,
Interviews with Hitchcock, Sleznick, and du Maurier about the film, publicity 
photos, trailers, and more.

This is a great film (Hitchcock's best IMHO) and the disc only makes the 
experience better. Leff has tons of information about the film. Both the
Criterion CAV laserdisc and the film are highly recomended.

	Interesting, I never really thought about it at the time. Sad man
that I am, I saw WW twice and both times I saw the music shop scene where
he's supposed to played Stairway... I didn't think it sounded anything
like it (to be honest it was only a short sequence so it could have been
covered by audience noise). Now, again showing how sad I am, I can play
Stairway... (along with every other 2 bit guitar player) so I would expect
to recognise it.
	Do you think with some copyright problems they changed the
soundtrack knowing that some ,perhaps most, of the audience would know
about the track (hence getting the joke) without actually knowing the
track itself.
	Of course it is just possible that I'm going deaf......

Mickey and Dumbo came from a joke between the cop and the killer when they

Having just watched _Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah_ the other night, I can
assure you that the Japanese pronounce it almost exactly the same way we
do.  The only obvious difference is that the initial "o" is more "go" than

Grade B? Is that a rating or qualification? How can a movie with Streep,  
Hawn, and Willis be called grade B? They spent millions on it on actor's  
salaries. The director is big name. The effects were supposedly state of

just a flop...

I find it interesting that someone would excuse her accusations due to

     Seconded ! This is a great movie. If I remember correctly it was
the first movie Alfred Hitchcock did in the United States and it won
an Academy award for best picture of the year. Dame Judith Anderson
played the nastiest maid I've ever seen.

It was also accurate. And thus the problem with war movies that 
try to show the war part...they are often confusing and boring
(unless you know something about the battle in question, i.e. who the
major players are, etc.).

While you may think ZD was PC, it did in fact show what really
happened, that the British thought a bunch of savages could easily
be taken care of in a few short weeks (the Zulu War took much longer
and required much more men, on the British part, then expected).
The battle of Ishwanada (improper spelling here) was as big a
debacle to the English as Custer's Last Stand was to the US Army.
(more people were lost too). 

But the defense of Roake's Drift (as shown in Zulu) was more in the
legend making vein (also following so close to the massive defeat
it provided good propaganda). BTW, I believe that more Victoria
Crosses were presented to the defenders of Roake's Drift than in any
other British battle.

Anyone trying to fill Chaplin's shoes will find the task impossible. (And
I don't want to see any jokes about Chaplin's oversized shoes, thank-you.)
Robert Downey Jr. must be very brave or very stupid to try to do it.  

If Attenborough tries to make it a grand scale epic, starting with Chaplin
as a boy and ending with his dotage, then by all means it will be a failure.
The best hope would be to focus in on a certain period of his life, like his
peak in Hollywood.  There is plenty of story there for a movie.  Personally,
I wouldn't mind it if it was made like a docudrama showing how he made a
particular movie.
