Here’s a review of the exciting MONEY FROM HOME premiere at New York’s iconic Film Forum!
“Attended the screening at NYC's Film Forum. Well, fellow classic 3D fans …. this one was worth the wait. The restoration is gorgeous; the lush colors pop, as does the 3D, with pleasing depth and separation (Dean and Jerry move to the foreground at the end and they're practically standing on your toes). As for the movie itself, it's a delightful Damon Runyon story set in the '30s with equally colorful characters and, unlike the similarly Runyon-based Guys and Dolls which followed a year later, it's intentionally funny (a singing Marlon Brando…? ). And the horse in this movie blazed a trail for the one who stole the movie 11 years later in Cat Ballou.
Like the iconic Paramount logo itself, this movie represents peaks: peak Dean & Jerry, peak classic technicolor, and peak classic 3D. The blu ray promises an eyeful for fans. Gallop …. don't walk … to get it once it comes up for pre-order.”
