I am also tied in with the Film Noir Foundation and would
like to make a slight correction to Vince's earlier post
concerning The Window.
Warner Bros. was nice enough to do the restoration of The
Window at the Foundation's urging. They did so at no cost to
us and then graciously put the Foundation's logo on the
restored print along with another restoration of the Garfield
flick Nobody Lives Forever. The print is indeed gorgeous-we
screened in January 2006 in San Francisco- and it will be
great if Bruce Goldstein has it dialed in for his N.Y. Noir
Festival which looks to be a terrific line-up.
A significant project that is coming to fruition is the Film
Noir Foundation's partnership with UCLA that will soon result
in a new print of The Prowler, a major film noir restoration
that we are very excited about.
