That was the article's point. Well known movies will always be available. It's the more obscure titles that will likely not see the light of day.Swithin wrote: ↑June 30th, 2023, 5:18 pmYes, only the famous ones. They've shown Mae West films, too, but only I'm No Angel and She Done Him Wrong.Bronxgirl48 wrote: ↑June 30th, 2023, 5:06 pm They did air a few Rohmers -- I remember CLAIRE'S KNEE.
I would LOVE to see that one!
They’ve actually aired many of the ones he has in the Criterion collection. I remember they aired the entire “series” where each title is from a different season of the year or something to that effect? Like spring and winter? Idk I am not a huge Rohmer fan but I remember seeing that on.Bronxgirl48 wrote: ↑June 30th, 2023, 5:06 pm They did air a few Rohmers -- I remember CLAIRE'S KNEE.
Let me vouch for something personally, almost every Paramount & Universal title of the 30s and 40s are popping up somewhere on the internet already.....Studios might not be happy about it, but they have done nothing to take them down.....txfilmfan wrote: ↑June 30th, 2023, 3:33 pmLA Times had an article on the TCM drama, and it stated, as an example, that the early Paramount properties are largely MIA. The article explained that it's expensive to restore/convert a film for today's digital platforms, and today's rights holders (NBC/Comcast/Universal, in this case) are reluctant to spend the money if they don't feel the properties have commercial value.Swithin wrote: ↑June 30th, 2023, 3:07 pm I'd like to see the early Paramounts, particularly all the Marlene Dietrich and Mae West films they don't show. And of course I'd like them to show Peter Ibbetson. And a series of Eric Rohmer films.
Occasionally they get the rights to show one or two of the above, but they're always the best known ones.

Films of the 1930s will soon enter public domain, which will probably mean there will be even less commercial value to these properties, if free copies are running around somewhere...
I know the site. I'm not proud of what I've done, but you can circumvent that website and the Russians and grab the video you went by just typing in the film's name and release yer with the name of the Russian site into an American web browser (like Google, bing, or Yahoo) and then use an American downloading site to save it to your computer or tablet without ever giving foot traffic or information to the Russians. I feel guilty doing it, and want to stop doing it, but I confess I have seen a lot of very rare titles that way.
