BROTHERS was first presented in the United States by Showtime, Inc. on a premium channel. I have not known of the series being re-run by any other channel, though there is no surprise there! As I recall, it told of a family of brothers, one of whom has "come out." Of course, it treated the situation in a broad comedic manner. I remember the comedy was sometimes forced and sophomoric, but it was a daring breakthrough for its' day, and as such, deserves another look! SHOWTIME....where are you when we need you? You have presented what is possibly the most blatantly gay drama ever, and yet you have forgotten your own pioneering effort. Look in your vaults, and dust the tapes off.
MY MAN GODFREY has been available only in dreary black-and-white dupes, as it was allowed to go public domain by Universal. Even Turner Classic movies has shown only a dupe print.
Now, this sparkling comedy has been colorized by 20th Century Fox, and it is an immaculate print that proves that colorization has come of age. To silence those "purists" who think they have a right to tell me how I should view a film, MY MAN GODFREY is also available on the DVD in the original black-and-white.
I never saw a comedy which would not be better served by color, and I must say, I have seen at least 100 black-and white films that begged for color, but I have never seen a color film that would have been better in black-and-white!
God bless FOX!

THE WOMAN IN GREEN has long been one of the best Sherlock Holmes films of the forties, but it has been available only in copies ranging from mediocre to dismal. Then, last year, UCLA restored the Holmes films in beautiful black-and-white prints.
Now, 20th Century Fox has colorized this film in a stunning print, and has made both the black-and-white and the color version available on the same DVD. Now, opponents to colorization can shut their collective yaps. If they don't approve of colorization, they can watch the b&w version, but they have no right to tell others what they can or cannot watch.
Go, Twentieth Century Fox!
