British label Network Releasing is preparing a Blu-ray release of Elizabeth Taylor in London / Sophia Loren in Rome. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on June 20.

Label description: Unseen anywhere for decades and highly sought after, these early '60s TV specials showcase two Hollywood icons travelling through and reflecting upon the cities they love. Newly-remastered in High Definition from original film elements, both shows feature sweeping, evocative scores from world-famous composer John Barry.

Elizabeth Taylor, who was born in London and lived there as a child, returns to the city that will forever be in her blood and gives her impressions of and reactions to the mosaic of London and Londoners she encounters during her visit.

In a show never seen in the UK, Sophia Loren follows Taylor's lead, but this time in Rome. She meets Marcello Mastroianni as she visits the sights, affectionately commenting on the grandeur of the Eternal City and the irrepressible nature of its people.

Special Features:
  • Limited edition booklet by John Barry experts Geoff Leonard & Pete Walker
  • Elizabeth Taylor in London: original US broadcast presentation
  • Image gallery, featuring many behind-the-scenes stills
