The Paramount Vault on Youtube

Ever since Warner Brothers released rarities from their vaults in their popular print-on-demand Warner Archive DVD-R series, other film studios have followed suit. Currently there is the Sony Pictures' Columbia Classics, MGM Classic Collection, the 20th Century Fox Cinema Archives, Paramount Vault and the Universal Vault Series. So far none have come close to the amount of films that Warner Archives have been releasing, nor the quality, but the Paramount Vault is penetrating a new method of making their archives accessible to the public. 

Currently they offer a number of great Paramount classics, available in their entirety, on Youtube.....and get this, they are absolutely free to watch! How long each of these films remain on Youtube we are unsure of, but at the moment most of the titles have been online for several months already. 



Many of the films date from the 1970s-1990s, but there is quite a nice selection of classics among them too, including these films ( * represents our viewing recommendations ) : 

  • *The Miracle of Morgan's Creek
  • *King Solomon's Mines
  • Paris When it Sizzles
  • The Devil and Miss Jones
  • No Man of Her Own
  • Casanova's Big Night
  • *Here Comes the Groom
  • A Touch of Larceny
  • The Strange Love of Martha Ivers 
  • *Omar Khayyam

  • The Mountain
  • *On the Double

    1. Hopefully having the film on Youtube will introduce it to some other people ( not familiar with Preston Sturges ).

  5. I was looking for some more Crosby titles and then remembered - I probably own them all! I don't know where I'll find the time, but find it I will.

  6. Great news! By the way, I've recently added guesses to several "Difficult" Screenshot editions. Can you go through them and confirm or deny?
