AN EMBARRASSMENT OF RICHES

George Feltenstein’s career has spanned the home entertainment release history of many of the most beloved classic Hollywood films of all time. This is due to his good fortune to work with the MGM/UA and Warner Bros film libraries, an “embarrassment of riches” he says, due to the sheer number of Hollywood classics they contain.

The five films we detail in this second podcast episode are well-known to most film lovers, but the stories of the home video marketing of the films and the production of the extras are less known.  George is always entertaining as he shares these stories and his interactions with the stars and filmmakers in producing the extras.
