Never saw this picture either. Doris had the same pose in a fimed segment for the Jerry Lewis telethon in 1974 but had a while blouse on. I know this photo is much earlier. Amazing photo. Are the blu ray machiness expensive? A shame you can't see it on regular DVD.

Beautiful banner- and red is my favourite colour!

Bryan, according to Amazon, the Blu Ray format released here in the US is "Region A/1."

See the breakout below regarding the different formats. If I read this correctly, it is not "region free" and the format you would purchase through Amazon UK will be different than mine. So I don't think they are compatible.

Region A/1: North America, Central America, South America, Japan, North Korea, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Southeast Asia.
Region B/2: Europe, Greenland, French territories, Middle East, Africa, Australia and New Zealand.
Region C/3: India, Nepal, Mainland China, Russia, Central and South Asia.

Thanks for that JM - luckily it is being produced as Region-free - so everyone can get a copy in their part of the world.

Love the new banner!!!LOL I don't know what blue ray is either!! Just a way to make money on a new comtraption!! Can i get the Pillow Talk book if I buy just regular DVD??? So complicated!LOL

[Jas1]

Love that pic of Doris from Touch of Mink.

[webmaster]

It was sent to me by Universal as being from "Pillow Talk" but I think you might be right, Jas.

[ray]

That picture is most asureadly form That Touch Of Mink!!!! Whats the matter with Universal? Loved when Doris had the bottle stuck on her toe and said Hi to Cary Grant as he entered the room! HA HA HA Nobody answers guestions are here anymore, can you get that special Pillow Talk book without buying the darm Blue Moon disc????

[Ania]

Amazing banner:)Wonderful is the:)I love the picture:) Thank you Bryan:)

Ps:"That Touch Of Mink" very funny film:)Doris in it is stunning!!!

[webmaster]

Thanks Ania!

And, Ray, I suspect the reason you didn't get a reply to your question "can you get that special Pillow Talk book without buying the darm Blue Moon disc????" is because we don't know! I'm not even sure it's a book!

And I haven't been able to play the Pillow Talk BlueRay I was sent so far!

[Toby_Martin]

Hope this helps Ray (and others) regarding what blue ray players/discs are. Whether it's worth buying another dvd if you already own one, thats up to you, I am going to get it, it's the direction all releases will be in eventually.

[Toby_Martin]

Just keep in mind that a blue ray disc cannot be played on a regular dvd player, but you can play a regular or hd/dvd on a blue ray player, forgot to mention that, so unless you have a blue ray player, this latest release will be unplayable, but like I said, it's the future, and when you go to replace your players, they will be blue rays. for the viewer, it means a much better picture quality.

Thanks Dorine - it's definitely "That Touch of Mink" then - should have spotted it - she looks different than she did in "Pillow Talk", clothes, hair, etc.

[jmichael]

WOW, if Doris doesn't personify the word "goddess" in that BW pic above, I don't know who does. Stunning!

Regarding Ray's questions about BLU RAY players, I got one last year when I replaced my old television with a new flat screen HD Smart TV. The store basically "gave" (ha, ha) me the BLU RAY player as part of the overall home entertainment system I was buying. I have to say the visual clarity on BLU RAY is quite impressive. It's the closest thing to a movie theater in terms of picture clarity. But is it worth it to buy one out of pocket? I'm not so sure. If the trend continues toward digital downloading movies off the Internet, then you may not get enough bang for your buck with a BLU RAY player. I find myself using my DVR a lot more and used that to watch all of Doris' films on TCM last month in HD. As with all things technical, it becomes increasingly complex over time and you really have to think about what is practical for you. We can all overload ourselves with gadgets that start to manage us instead of us managing them. Sometimes less is more. Just my two cents.

I'm going to print this out and hang it on my bulletin board for future reference! I agree with the comment about today's electronics - too much, too soon.

Blue ray refers to a very high density optical disk, that uses a blue laser (high frequency). This is the only
way to use the immensely large video files for video generation- because the Internet for most people is
just too slow to handle such files, hence the market.

Doris has said that she would have worked for free, to make her movies since they were so much fun to make. I would bet if she could have she would have paid them, and would have included some pets for scenery in the shots - but you could take this sort of thing too far.

[ray]

That is strecthing it a bit too far. Show Business is about making money and Doris is no fool with money. Imagine making tons of money and having fun too!!! Doris was very lucky and she knows it. Maybe it is not luck but she toiled for years singing hopeing for that big break like everyone else and it happened!

[Jas1]

I agree Michael about the b&w photo above from Touch of Mink- absolutely stunning!

[puck]

Love your banner Bryan, she looks marvelous, I'm agree with Jas, the picture is really absolute stunning.

[Doris Martin]

Love your banner Bryan, she looks marvelous, I'm agree with Jas, the picture is really absolute stunning.

Hello Puck..you are right,she looks as usual stunning...we all agree...
