SUBLIME CINEMA #259 - HARVEY
Old time comfort watching, something my girlfriend and I watch every Easter for whatever reason (okay, it features a giant imaginary bunny). It’s James Stewart’s goofiest role, his naive mad vagabond character was weirdly a good fit for him. And it’s an endearing thing to tune into year after year.

Did you know that the 1997 ‘Cinderella’ starring Brandy is based not on an original Broadway show but a TV special starring Julie Andrews? In 1957 the famous Rogers and Hammerstein brought a brand new musical live to homes across America. Whilst the original was broadcast in colour to those who had a colour television on the east coast, only a low quality black and white copy remains. These colour images make me pine for what was lost - Julie’s performance is stunning and I think it would have been a classic for the ages if it existed in a more accessible resolution.
