Universal's Glass Globe
I really didn't know where to put this, but...In all of the Universal color movies I've seen that were made during the period when they were using the glass globe (with stars) logo, none of these...

I am actually a huge fan of Mr. Lynne -- all the way back to The Move and even forward to solo stuff like Armchair Theatre, but there are exceptions -- or there's at least this exception.

I do dislike the fact that DVDs do not contain the current distributor's logo followed by the vintage logo. It would be nice to see GONE WITH THE WIND with Leo's roar following Turner's corporate logo...

I can think of lots of movies where the company's updated logo -- usually, United Artists and some WB -- usurps their old one, but I'm having trouble thinking of anything other than SHOW BOAT where...
