Author Topic: Duck Soup 1933 (request) Mathew Molloy Master Film Handler Posts: 357 From: The Santa Cruz Mountains Registered: Nov 2000 posted 01-03-2006 12:21 AM                     Anyone know of the current distributor of The Marx Brothers, Duck Soup - 1933? MGM/SONY's right's expired and they don't know who has it now.  |  IP: Logged Peter Kerchinsky Master Film Handler Posts: 326 From: Seattle, WA, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 01-03-2006 04:40 AM                     Matt Ran this in a rep house several years ago and I think the print came from Universal. I believe they had alot of Paramount films in their library at one time.  |  IP: Logged Mitchell Dvoskin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1869 From: West Milford, NJ, USA Registered: Jan 2001 posted 01-03-2006 08:39 AM                     This is a Paramount film, not MGM. As such, it would be distributed by either Paramount or Universal (which distributes some early Paramount titles).  |  IP: Logged Christopher Seo Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 530 From: Los Angeles, CA Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-03-2006 11:38 AM                     Wherever you get it (sorry I don't know offhand), make sure to ask for their nice brand-new print.  |  IP: Logged Mathew Molloy Master Film Handler Posts: 357 From: The Santa Cruz Mountains Registered: Nov 2000 posted 01-05-2006 05:45 PM                     Thanks for the info. guys. I should have said Paramount's rights expired not MGM/Sony. I'll be checking with Universal --- and yes it is Universal.  |  IP: Logged System Notices Forum Watchdog / Soup Nazi Posts: 215 Registered: Apr 2004 posted 10-03-2015 01:22 PM                 It has been 3557 days since the last post.  |  IP: Logged Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???"

Mono Sound on DCP's  |  IP: Logged Jack Theakston Master Film Handler Posts: 411 From: New York, USA Registered: Sep 2007 posted 10-05-2015 11:59 AM                     My guess is that this is an old master. Universal is doing new 4K scans of the Marx Bros. films, so I expect there will be a new DCP in the next year or so.  |  IP: Logged Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???"
