DVD Transfer Diary
I did two last night, "my" version of Shirley Temple's The Little Princess (I say "my" because I cut out the ballet sequence. I love the music from most ballets, and I respect ballet dancers—they are not "creampuffs," as some jock might call them, by any means—but ballet bores me silly.) and The Trouble With Angels.

Like Eleanor and Franklin: the White House Years, I put Angels on a disk all by itself. I know I have seen a letterbox version of it (on TCM?) and hope they will show that again. I would have bought the DVD, but it was pan and scan. What's the use unless you only have a commercial-butchered copy?

I am hoping that since the nice souls who released the original Eleanor and Franklin released it as Eleanor and Franklin: the Early Years, that they might be planning to do White House Years as well. My copy is from WSBK-TV38 before we had a booster on the antenna and is exceedingly snowy.
