Turns out it was Born Yesterday (1950).

Clue 2: Joe Eszterhas comes again.
Clue # 2: Born Yesterday's author Garson Kanin sold the rights of the play to Columbia for a then unheard of $1 million dollars. Joe Eszterhas repeated the feat years later by selling the script to Basic Instinct (1992) for a then unheard of 3 million dollars. Hence Joe Eszterhas comes again.

Re: Twilight Time
Wow. They could have just as easily given the clue "Melanie Griffith comes again." It would have been equally stupid but at least slightly more relevant (you know, because she like, starred in the remake or whatever?). There is truly nothing fun about attempting to guess these clues.

Uh... What? I'm seriously completely and utterly lost on what this even means and how that clue is supposed to equal Born Yesterday.domino harvey wrote:Clue 2: Joe Eszterhas comes again.

Guess the upcoming release 3 of 3
Third guessing game:
Clue #1: The Method, an Italian muse, Spaghetti sauce, it all comes out in the wash.
Clue #2: Poor Marni Nixon… he “walked the line.”
Clue #3: Richard Brooks directed “too.”
Clue #4: Franciosa, Forsythe, Parks. Who’s on first? Or is it second?
Clue # 5: Chinatown has a two-fold connection. Even if once removed.
Clue #6: The Lady Vanishes for Billie Burke.
Clue #7: The producer was going to direct till Garland or "Red" intervened.

Wake me up when one of the answers is The Asthenic Syndrome. The clue for that would be "Strangers on a train? Or in the night?"pointless wrote:Third guessing game:Clue #1: The Method, an Italian muse, Spaghetti sauce, it all comes out in the wash.

Re: Twilight Time
Unlike many of Lynch releases in Region B, Universal's UK (Region B locked) disc is pretty fine. The only way I'd go for the TT is if it had a superior transfer (I suppose it'll be a different transfer either way since it's a different studio), or if it's uncensored, which the UK disc is not.

Re: Twilight Time
Ugh. Obviously no hope that any of the relevant extras from the Lime Green set would be included.

Re: Twilight Time
Why not? Doesn't TT commonly port over extras from previous DVD releases?

Re: Twilight Time
Well, I could be wrong, but while I would think maybe they would port over the extras from the MGM dvd release, I think the extra footage on the Lime Green set only appeared there, under Lynch's auspices, so I'm assuming including that would require his involvement, which I am guessing is unlikely. But who knows? Not me.

Re: Twilight Time
Ok, you guys are getting my hopes up. Not super high, but up. Supposedly it is 120 minutes of deleted scenes?
Edit: On Facebook, Twilight Time says "Yes, we'll definitely be looking into [getting the Lime green Set's extensive deleted scenes for Wild at Heart.]" So I was clearly being too negative. Here's hoping, and I give them credit for at least saying they'll try.

Re: Twilight Time
I was considering importing the French release of this the other day and doing a bunch of research on it- I think I read that the UK blu is inferior PQ to the most recent French one. At any rate, I'll wait around until this comes out to pull the trigger on anything.
I wonder if Criterion explicitly passed on this- I thought it was a better movie than, say, Something Wild, but then Criterion could hardly be bothered with that one, so perhaps it's not the best comparison.

Honestly, it would be worse for me if they got the Lime Green Set deleted scenes. Then I wouldn't be able to safely ignore this release, which I would have preferred, because I ordered the DVD off Amazon just a few months ago.

Re: Twilight Time
I was referring to this release, but in reading further (here) it sounds as though it's actually the same master as the British release. I should have taken notes when I was looking into this, but at any rate any release with halfway decent PQ and the Lime Green extras will easily be worth the $40 to me.EddieLarkin wrote:Colour appears to be a little better; still censored though.matrixschmatrix wrote:I was considering importing the French release of this the other day and doing a bunch of research on it- I think I read that the UK blu is inferior PQ to the most recent French one.

MGM may not have been willing to license Wild at Heart when Criterion made the deal for the batch of titles they did license.matrixschmatrix wrote: I wonder if Criterion explicitly passed on this- I thought it was a better movie than, say, Something Wild, but then Criterion could hardly be bothered with that one, so perhaps it's not the best comparison.
