Dear Mary, The Passenger was restored by Sony and re-released by Sony Classics in 2005. Crouching Tiger was also Sony Classics. So they could be New Yorker or still with SC? -- Best regards, Dennis Doros Milestone Film & Video/Milliarium

That one was a mess for years. I know Jack Nicholson is at least a part owner. Best thing to track any title down is to start with the company that has it out in home video. Assuming they don't have PPR rights someone there knows who they got the rights from, the trick is getting them to give you t

Nice explanation -- "musicologimetrics" on that one. That makes sense, it's enough time to hear the tune and maybe get to the bridge. Those percentages work out, I hadn't considered the clip time as a percentage and was wondering "why 50 rather than 30?" Cheers, Randal - Original Mess
