Too bad it stops in the middle of Britten's response to an interesting question. Many thanks anyhow and, yes, where can one get hold of this? I have two dvds on his life and in neither do some of what i see on here appear. What a shame. Very fine, thanks again.

Yes, more of this marvellous tenor, if you can. I have this recording and while listening to it, i forget all about Peter Pears, whom i like very much nonethless.

Yes, he shall be missed, as a singer and as a man. Wonderful voice! RIP. You deserve it. Very grateful.

"Arigato" means so much in this film, thanks to Ryu and Higashiyama. I nearly faint with respect and feeling moved by its use in Ozu films. Sugimura's telling "arigato" in EARLY SPRING...all magnificent thank yous that leave us far behind--but knowing it. These "arigatos" help us to grow, to a...

Kagawa Kyoko is a very fine actress who became more and more beautiful with age, like all those whose soul must escape the body, it grows so in stature. I first saw her in Tokyo-Ga, then maybe 40 years later at the age of about 60, more beautiful still. Grace and dignity incarnate.

What a gorgeously poignant actor!

Yes, unparalleled. Both singers were so great. And it is quite beautiful in German instead of French. I don't know, alas, the Bjoerling/Merrill version, which i'm sure is beautiful, but this is the ABSOLUTE LIMIT. Thanks so much for posting (I'd never heard this daring duo before! And i thoug...

@Bivolari. In answer to your question, no.

Sorry, i meant my remark below to go to jabney8mmm

Don't mean to offend anyone, but the music doesn't seem to reach the same level as the storyline or the film in its entirety. It isn't frivolous, but it is dissonant with the British landscape--and all the rest. My opinion.

Couldn't they find a more appropriate British voice to narrate?

He is was and will be inimitable, whether caustic or cool. He was brilliant. Magical. Thanks so much. And i miss him very much.

@uszoninyc. I found it on AMC and recorded it the whole day! But since then i have learned that you can have it on dvd, of course. As to PAL vs NTSC, not to worry, just ask your dvd-player salesman to adjust it to "all regions." I did that on mine here in Europe and can play films from any co...

Like it, but not "the greatest comedy cast ever." That's in MAKE MINE MINK.

The absolute best! My favourite comedy in the world. Have seen it more than 400 times, no fooling:) Thanks so very much for posting it!!!

The above D Parker quote is incorrect. Look it up--i haven't got it right to hand, but she calls herself the 'twanstant weader' for one and i think she did succeed in throwing up! She was so damned funny, maybe too sarcastic for her (and our?) own good. Whilst i do not agree with her on Pooh Be...

@rlee1976 You are so right, singer or not, we KNOW this lady can sing, indeed. I was lucky in having written her a long letter a couple of years ago and she responded with a wonderful (shorter but in English!) letter. This comforts me now she is gone. She will not be gone from the collective m...

@lagj49 Je suis d'accord avec vous et pour Mozart et pour Strauss et pour Schumann, Mahler...Take a look at my LIDA DELLA CASA FAN CLUB on fb, tons of videos, photos, discussions, Wikipedia, etc. A true LDC feast. You are most welcome:)

Sometimes i think this is my favourite FIGARO in Italian and featuring the sublime Swiss soprano. Thanks so much for posting. Yes, a shimmering silvery sound which i know only her to have produced. Unique.

Yes, the marvelous Cathy. We miss you. Thank you for posting!
