CAN ANYONE TELL ME IF THERE ARE ANY PLANS BY UNITED ARTISTS TO ADD TYRONE'S COMPLETE FOOTAGE FORM "SOLOMON AND SHEBA" AS A BONUS TO ANY DVD'S OF THIS MOVIE?
I HAVE ONLY SEEN A SHORT CLIP OR TWO OF TY AS SOLOMON. I AM TOLD A GOOD THREE HOURS OF HIS FOOTAGE EXISTS.
AS MUCH AS I LIKE YUL BRYNNER HE SEEMS TO BE JUST WALKING THROUGH THE RELEASED VERSION OF THE FILM. MAYBE HE FEELS FUNNY TAKING A DEAD MAN'S PLACE.
IF ANYONE KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT WHETHER THE COMPANY PLANS TO ISSUE TY'S SCENES FROM THE FILM PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
Haven't heard of anything being in the works. I think if it was a classic, it would probably get more attention for restoration; as it is, I'm guessing it's unlikely that it will ever see the light of day, but who knows.
If memory serves, the laser disc version apparently had some of TP's footage in it's Extras section, but don't quote me on that.
("Big Bertha" is a laster disc on-line store, if you have access to a laser disc player, or knows someone who does.)
