Re: Call No. For DVD movies based on printed titles

But in some cases, putting aside whatever dialogue cuts may have been
made, many filmings are reasonably true to the original, even with
anachronistic staging--which, of course, never occurs in the theater
itself ;-) 

OTOH, trying to determine which films can justifiably be kept with the
"originals" would keep your in-house film/theater/literature
selectors/critics busy...
