"It's in the Air"-- lost forever?

Postby Lookit » Sat Feb 10, 2007 5:19 am

Is there no print of "It's in the Air" surviving anywhere? Of all Jack's major films, this is the only one I've never seen shown on TV or peddled anywhere on the Internet.

Nah, I've just got to get the hours in the day to transfer my tape copy to DVD and put it in the library.

Warner Bros.' library has a master 35mm print, and probably the original neg (unless it was lost in the 1970s Eastman fire).

It was on TNT in the early 1990s, and at least once circa 1994-1995 on TCM. But after the Turner acquisition by Time-Warner in 1996, I don't believe TCM has shown it again.

Just one of those things that needs to be re-discovered. I thought Jack and Ted had good chemistry; too bad that they didn't work together again, before Ted's death in 1937.
