Criterion released the restored version in theaters back in august because
the early reviews of the new dvd were raves. Since the DVD is now out,
I think the theatrical run is probably done. French films with english
subtitles from the 30's arent the sort to have long theater runs.
They are now working on restoring Renoir's other classic, "Rules of the
Game"...I cant wait

Actor Desmond Llewellyn (sp?) who played the character Q in the James Bond
series was killed in a trafic accident today. He was 85. A sad loss.

Re resp:237 - On the other hand, Ann Arbor has a theater (the Michigan)
which commonly does short runs of foreign films and restorations, so
I'm puzzled why they haven't shown "Grand Illusion". Perhaps I should
ask them.

Maybe they figure that the last lingering shards of the Cinema Guild
hold a monopoly on campus-area showings of Renoir's films..
