TILL THE CLOUDS ROLL
BY (MGM 1946)
(Release Date: April 25, 2006)
From the Warner Home Video Press Release:
"Till the Clouds Roll By finally receives the
deluxe presentation it
deserves
with
its first
legitimate
DVD release, with this stunning new transfer directly from
the original studio Technicolor camera negatives. The epic
film begins with a glorious, musical-within-a-musical recreation
of the 1927 opening of Jerome Kern's "Show Boat" and
ends with a spectacular musical cavalcade of Kern classic
melodies, climaxing with Frank Sinatra singing Ol' Man River,
a number Ol' Blue Eyes would reprise throughout his career.
From start to finish, the glittery biopic about renowned
stage-and-screen composer Kern (Robert Walker) features 25
stars and a nearly equal number of Kern tunes. Highlights
include Judy Garland as Marilyn Miller asking "Who?" to
a bevy of top-hatted admirers; Dinah Shore hauntingly recalling "The
Last Time I Saw Paris"; and Lena Horne's just "Can't
Help Lovin' Dat Man"."

NOTE: Be sure to purchase this new DVD. This
is the only OFFICIAL DVD release with restored picture and
sound. Because the film's copyright was allowed to lapse years
ago, bootleg VHS and DVDs have been circulating for years.
These have HORRIBLE picture and sound. See the examples below.
Buyer beware! They may cost only a few dollars and seem like
a bargain, but that's exactly what you'll get - a DVD with
a quality only worth a dollar.
May 13, 2008: Clouds is repackaged
(no new extras) as part of Warner Home Video's
new series "The Frank Sinatra
Collection" (see
image below).
