I saw Rancho Notorious as a pre-teen and was really taken with it. Naturally, I was a little curious when it appered on The Western Channel a couple of weeks ago. While not quite as wildly enthusiastic about it as I was in my youth, I thought it was still a pretty decent film too. |

Actually, there is a third Lang Western (not in this set) I had forgotten about: "The Return of Frank James". |

I've also received volume 1 of The Masked Rider. I'll try very hard to go into it with an open mind. But previous comments make it hard to keep an optimistic outlook. |

I like all three Lang westerns, but the song in Rancho Notorious is kinda hard to take. You have to wonder what they were thinking -- doubt if it was Lang's idea. |

Got the Disney '50s "Robin Hood" and the Blu-Ray of "An American in Paris" (one of my favorite musicals). The Disney was a freebie I got for having bought a bunch of other Disney DVDs over the last year. Watched "Robin" last night since it had been at least 15 years since I last saw it. It clearly is not one of the better Robins. Richard Todd just doesn't look right for the part and the Sheriff and Prince John aren't nearly villainous enough and the action is not terribly exciting. There are several scenes and shots that seem to come awfully close to being direct rip-offs from the Flynn "Robin". The picture quality is only so-so (unusual for Disney) being overly bright and contrasty with signs that the technicolor print needs work. There are zero extras on the disc, not even a trailer. There is a "Wonderful World of Disney" type intro at the beginning. This strikes me as strange because, while the movie was shown on Disney TV, it was originally a theatrical release. |

Probably the only surviving print. Disney took good care of the animations, but much of the live stuff was just Roy trying to make a quick buck. |

I love The Ritz Brothers almost as much as I love the newly filmed footage of The Masked Rider. But I have heard that Goldwyn Follies isn't just ONE of the worst movies of the 1930s... it is THE worst. We shall see. |
