As much as I am looking forward to these beautiful restorations, I'm hoping that the obnoxious, ten-ton orchestration to THE BATTLE OF THE CENTURY (found on the L&H Definitive Restorations set) is not repeated here. Talk about trying to be funnier than Laurel & Hardy!

One bit of information (the ONLY piece of information) gleaned from a post on Nitrateville about this set is that it's the same over-the-top score used for THE BATTLE OF THE CENTURY. (Here's a suggestion: one might try cobbling some GAC and WCK-style themes to play with BATTLE instead.)
