Lucyilove Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 That is great news - didn't know any of these were ever available on DVD before - I have the vhs editions of the three B&W comedies, is this MAGIC CARPET's home format debut?

Luvsbway Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 So how is this different than the 4 disk set of all four of these movies Columbia put out? Price is better. Magic Carpet is currently on DVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C L A U D E Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Lucy should have bought out the negatives for Magic Carpet. While I am thrilled to see a release of three of her better movies, not even getting the spelling right, sheesh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvsbway Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 The original has the color on her rings all screwed up. Thanks for adding the blue back in. The original also changed all the gold parts of the rings to silver. What what crazy filter they used on that pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah... that filter is just terrible... the coloring job is actually pretty good, but Henry's makes it look much better!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mmadluv7 Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 I didn't do that much detailing but just wanted to get a feel of what it could look like if they re thought the colors and look- Id also re look at the font Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreddieMertz Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 That would be a dream come trueIf you have photoshop, you can import a video and use the color replacement tool. That will colorize it, but it takes FOREVER. I tried it once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My problem with the cover is that it looks like yet another LUCY SHOW public domain repackaging especially with it's shockingly low hyping of some damn good movies on the cover. If I would see this in a store I probably would have instantly dismissed it and not realized what a gem of a collection it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C L A U D E Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 So true, great point. BUT, at least the four movies are shown at the bottom of the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should say Lucille Ball Movie Collection or something, make it stand out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mot Morenzi Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 I'm glad these are being rereleased in a non-MOD format. That will make these far more affordable to most people. I have the original Sony set and most of them don't even have menus, so that'll be a nice change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C L A U D E Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Was looking for these yesterday, had no idea they're only being released September 30th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lplucyfan Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 I sent Mill Creek this email: Hi, Was hoping you will be updating both the cover art and editorial for this release with the correct info. Your cover art has the first film MISTITLED as "Her Husband's Affair", when in actuality it is "Her Husband's Affairs" (with an "s"). The film is about the wife meddling in her husband's affairs. Not about an "affair". Hope this will be fixed. Got a response from a Lyle Goff: Thank you for the information regarding the needed title correction for our Lucille Ball DVD collection. We appreciate your input and your e-mail has been forwarded to the manufacturing department for review. The title correction will be submitted for our next production run for this product. Please feel free to contact us with any additional comments, questions or suggestions. ..................................I think that means they are too cheap to do it right the first time.

Mister Hepburn Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Mill Creek sells budget DVDs, ie. they offer the complete series of Bewitched and That 70s Show for $25-30 each. Official and affordable, I love them. I can deal with them being a little cheap with the change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
