Re the Dr. Syn being pulled from the release schedule.

They apologized and said they would try to set a new release date soon. Well, we've heard that song before. I can only hope that means they're making it better. I had heard from several sources that Amazon.com was rather surprised by the number of preorders they had for it.

I would like to see a real "Vault Disney" release for this film: the complete movie (129 minutes), the Wonderful World of Color Walt Disney intros, maybe something about the song, which people remember 30 years later, some type of commentary. Perhaps they could talk to Sean Scully, who played the boy character, John--I remember him as being oooohed and aaaahed over by the teenage girls of the "Tiger Beat" persuasion (he also did two other films for Disney, the Vienna Boys Choir story Almost Angels and Twain's The Prince and the Pauper). George Cole, who played Mipps, is apparently still working in the industry as well.

Of course the plum thing to have would be an interview with Patrick McGoohan, but I suppose that would be wishing for the moon...

At least Three Lives of Thomasina is out next week.
