I well remember seeing this movie when it was shown in New Zealand about 1955. It was an enjoyable movie and my desire to own it on DVD was only heightened when I recently saw it on Turner Classic Movies. Regrefully most TCM movies in New Zealand are a bit blurry and the sound track had lots of 50/60 cycle hum in it. It would be nice if it was to be released on DVD particularly if a little care was taken in restoring the visual print and the sound track.
The original sound track for Rosemarie was a magnetic 3 channel across the screen and 1 surround channel. With modern sound restoration and enhancement equipment that is available today, there is no reason why this could not be restored to quiet a presentable 5.1 sound track.
It disappoints me to see many of the fine old movies reissued with excellent visual print but little care having been taken on the sound restoration when as a sound engineer specializing in old recorded sound restoration I know much better could be done.
