Of Suits and Screen Caps

My Quixotian quest for the "If I Can Dream" suit in Bangkok was foiled, in part because I had neither a tailor willing to work with DVD images, the proper software to extract a decent image of the suit to work with, nor the time in Bangkok to work through it all. So I'll have it made in Phnom Penh.

Meanwhile, the latest version of PowerDVD I've acquired now does indeed capture screen images well enough, as you can see from the Quiet American screencap here. You'll also see from the screen cap that the original film is in dire need of restoration in its DVD release. I believe it has been restored but just not released.

I've had several requests to rescreen the original Quiet American with Audie Murphy. My copy went bad so I have another on order, and it will be among the screenings we'll do at Jungle when I get back.
