Blurg. EVENING PRIMROSE dvd delayed again.

This is the second time it has been delayed. Amazon.com just notified me by email to apologize for the inconvenience. It is set for June 29 now, allegedly. Why am I getting a bad feeling about this?

Awww, wook at widdow Sondheim. =)

I think it is a beautiful 40 minutes of entertainment and have enjoyed my crap copy for years. I have been in love with "I Remember Sky" which contains some of my favorite Sondheim lyrics. I look at Primrose as a musical Twilight Zone episode. Sure, it wears its minimal budget on its sleeve, but I think the idea of moving into a department store and discovering a preexisting society is magical. "Take Me To The World" is a lovely and expressive duet. I always dreamed Primrose would be remade as a television musical with some atmosphere-driven director at the helm. Early 90s David Lynch? I would have loved to see a younger Julee Cruise as Ella. She has that alien and ethereal quality a child-woman might have. Ella should be, in a way, a "wild child" and I would love to see how that could be interpreted in a new filmed production. The book wouldn't need to be overhauled either, just slight revisions.

Well, that's a horse of a different color.

Yes film and Tv considered all product disposable. Don't get me started on Warner Bros for not saving at least one complete print of A STAR IS BORN. Warner even erased all the stereo soundtrack master tapes for many of the 1950's films because they thought that nonce the films were sold to TV no one would ever want to hear them in stereo again.

The subject of "lost" film and television is an interesting one. I had a good time reading this wiki article one afternoon over a year ago. Whoever wrote it has a lot of passion for the subject. It is so satisfying to hear when something has been discovered. I was thrilled when the A Connecticut Yankee original Broadway cast album was discovered and reissued on Decca Broadway.
