Last week's Movie Quiz winners

I don't usually select movies for the quiz because of how bad its DVD is, but in the case of the current "deluxe" edition of A Hard Day's Night, I had to make an exception. What's been done to the entire Beatles catalog since the introduction of digital remastering is unforgivable-- the flat, tinny, awful CDs that came out in the nineties can't hold a candle to the sound of even the Capitol vinyl editions, let alone the original UK ones-- but the remixed soundtrack on this travesty is the worst yet. (Be sure to scroll down and read the spotlighted user review, which I think says it all.) Apparently, the one to get, put out by MPI a few years ago, is now discontinued but is easily found used.

Judging from the number of responses, I don't need to tell any of you anything about the film itself, and many of you identified Wilfrid Brambell by name, which pleased me. So without further ado, congratulations in monophonic sound to the following quiz winners: Wayne Palmer, Jen McCabe, David Beckey, Vincent Tuss, Dean Carlson, E. Yarber, Eric Olson, Hank Parmer, Steve Perry, Mark Gisleson, Kent Hofmeister and Lindsey Thomas. I'm not sure if we've ever had more winners for any movie (and to my meager credit, I tried to make it a little difficult). So thanks one and all.
