nice, I'm a huge Dali fan and the Dream Sequence in Spellbound is awesome.

Further contention was caused by the hiring of surrealist artist Salvador Dalí to conceive certain scenes in the film's key dream sequence. However, the sequence conceived and designed by Dalí and Hitchcock, once translated to film, proved to be too lengthy and complicated for Selznick, so the vast majority of what had been filmed ultimately was edited out. Two minutes of the dream sequence appear in the final film, but according to Ingrid Bergman, the original had been twenty minutes long.

not to mention Peck and Bergman are awesome together, true Hollywood OG's

love the DV SACD cover, oldschool

the Criterion DVD (the best transfer to date) is Dolby Digital 2.0 and Original Mono so it will be cool to sync up this DV SACD multichannel with the picture from the DVD for a surround Dali experience.

Wow! What a nice surprise. Highly recommend this if you love film scores. The mix is spectacular. The clarity and sound of the orchestra is beautiful. Affordable vocalion/dutton still available. 10.

The ole sayin' "They don't write them like this anymore" is never more apparent than these classic film scores sumptuously recorded on the RCA RED SEAL LABEL by the renowned Charles Gerhardt conducting the National Philharmonic Orchestra!

And Dutton Vocalion has preserved every nuance of this brilliantly discrete recording for future generations to relish on a remarkable QUAD SACD!

HIGHEST RECOMENDATION and why not add all of Gerhardt's QUAD ouerve to your collection as they're ALL STUNNING...and highly affordable:
