THE GENERAL

noreply@blogger.com (BWood) — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 11:52:00 PDT

From the "day job" basket:

Kino has just released a deluxe DVD of Buster Keaton's THE GENERAL that I produced. We mastered the film in HD from a fine grain master struck from the original nitrate camera neg (you archival nuts will know what that means). I can safely say there is no better version of THE GENERAL in release. Its bonuses include three musical scores to choose from -- including Carl Davis's celebrated orchestral score, which has been unavailable in the US for more than a decade. Plus documentaries, etc. No, I'm not trying to sell anything, but passing on relevant information to those who share my interest in silent film.
