sir, meron nang Hong Kong Holiday retail price is 399pesos / powerbooks branches.
Sana i-release narin ang Kurdapya and Tawag ng Tanghalan
riverfan, nakabili na ko ng hong kong holiday. as expected, the dvd is a direct transfer from perhaps the only existing positive print of the film. kaya puro gasgas. surprisingly, the last 30 mins of the film is ok - crisp ang video, almost no scratches. maybe that part of the existing print is still ok. ibang-iba from the rest .
sayang. they should have checked the original negatives and reproduced a new positive print (pero im sure mahal ito. that's what ccp did with tinimbang ka ngunit kulang, kaya ang linaw when i saw it sa sine a few years ago).
there wasnt even an opening credits for the film. the sampaguita logo was probably taken from other films. halata mo naman kasi dissolve to ang effect (the same thing goes to other parts - panay dissolve ang transition).
pero ok na ito kesa sa wala. at least i can watch it all over again.
sana i-release din ng unico ang dalagang ilocana sa dvd. the film gave gloria romero a best actress award from famas in the 50s (her only one, until tanging yaman). i wonder why they chose kurdapya over it. im sure sampaguita has an existing print of dalagang ilocana. i saw it a few years ago on tv.
