john lyons Senior Member Co-founder of Vinegar Syndrome 1188 Posts 1/08 Posted - Dec 31 2011 : 12:38PM I posted about this in the Pamela Mann thread, but I think it deserves its own thread.
Radley Metzger's second Henry Paris film, NAKED CAME THE STRANGER is out uncut, in its proper aspect ratio and remastered in HD for the very first time ever as of TODAY from Distribpix!
Here's a link to the release specs and extras.
http://ymlp.com/zOJACZ I did the film restoration and it's the project I'm most proud to have been involved with. The entire package is nothing short of stunning.
So, if you've never seen NAKED or have only seen the awful, pan and scan, tape sourced and above all CUT (yeah, 12 min were removed) release from VCA, don't miss this one...

You should screen this movie at the New Beverly Cinema (as a midnight feature, of course). Among other things, it would be great promotion for the movie.[Link] john lyons Senior Member Co-founder of Vinegar Syndrome 1188 Posts 1/08 Posted - Dec 31 2011 : 7:10PM

I'd love to but it's the only one of the 5 Paris films that Distribpix doesn't have a 35mm print of.[Link] Myload Senior Member A rose is what you are to me 2069 Posts 6/03 Posted - Dec 31 2011 : 8:32PM
^That sucks. A screening of that movie would have been perfect. Well, at least there's the DVD of it.[Link] Flash Golden Age Classic 11018 Posts 5/01 Posted - Dec 31 2011 : 10:23PM
What did they use then for the DVD? None of their stuff seems to say what they used to create the HD transfer.[Link]

Can't say this is my favourite Metzger but I'll pick it up just to ensure that Misty Beethoven gets released, plus I'm sure the restoration and extras may change my mind about the flick.[Link] john lyons Senior Member Co-founder of Vinegar Syndrome 1188 Posts 1/08 Posted - Jan 3 2012 : 7:39PM

It's easily my favorite Paris films and one of my favorite Metzgers, period. MISTY was certainly a glossier film but NAKED is just so funny and, IMO, the best acted of the Paris titles.[Link] john lyons Senior Member Co-founder of Vinegar Syndrome 1188 Posts 1/08 Posted - Jan 28 2012 : 2:26PM Myload Senior Member A rose is what you are to me 2069 Posts 6/03 Posted - Jan 28 2012 : 6:56PM

No idea. I'd suggest you write directly to Steven if you're interested in obtaining a screener for review. His email is steven@videoxpix.com[Link] Cuddly Wombat Senior Member Just another bare bum in the shiower 1739 Posts 12/04 Posted - Jan 30 2012 : 7:00AM
