I would love The Big Country in 4K. Does anyone know if there was ever a stereo or 5.1 track, all we have on the BD is mono.

Yes that is certainly my home cinema! I was a cinema projectionist for 35+ years and trained at the age of 16 by two real old showmen, they both are well and truly gone today.

My Favourite film of all time. I was dissapointed with the black crush in the HDR copy when my BD copy never had it. Just check and compare the black suit of Cecil B. DeMilles in the prologue between the HDR and BD copy, one has detail the other doesnt.

Yes Ben Hur indeed, when will we see it in HDR????

Was the film only made with mono sound in 1958? It has such a great score it would be wonderful to hear it in 3 or 4 track.

Will this version have a stereo track rather than the old mono one we have?

Yes all of these should be on 4K UHD by now. I will not buy anymore BDs of these films until they release them on UHD.

oh dear why do they keep releasing the same old same old, they need to up the game and get them all finally on 4K. We all have the old BD releases....

Why are we still waiting for the R&H films to come out in 4K???

Yes that is correct and what I actually meant to say, Ive tried to edit my post but that one isnt allowed now. I dont know when they close off the editing of a post on this site?

Ive never ever heard of that, it certainly must have been only in a handful of locations as there were no 65mm projectors out there on mass thats for sure. Can you show a link of this please?

From a 70 year old timer projectionist whos spent a lifetime screening 35mm and many 70mm Roadshow prints. 65mm prints were all blown up to 70mm, there were no 65mm projectors. Most of the big Roadshow 70mm films were shot on 65mm film. They were released for exhibition and projected in 70mm in...

I have emailed Fox news and asked them since they are restoring 35mm newsreels to 4K why dont they transfer some to BD. I know what the answer will be!

Ive bought many different newsreels on DVD over the years and the quality of all of them have been bad. I just dont know why they dont leave them totally intact with the start and end logos. It would be heaven if they transfered original 35mm versions to Bluray. I used to make up all the Fox...

I too wish they would release old newsreels totally intact with the start and end titles. Its an area thats really been neglected for years!

I was a projectionist at the State Theatre 2 in Sydney in the 70s, it had rear projection. What a horrible booth to work in, you looked into the ugley back stage area, no audience to see and the cleaners stored all their mops and cleaning materials there, just horrid!!!! The sound was also...

I know it isnt, my DVD version is correct!

Well this is good news but terrible for those of use that have mono for the overture etc etc etc...

Gee Ive had 107 views of this post but still no replies, is there any experts here on the subject please?

10 years ago I built two risers that were totally sealed inside, now covered with rubber underlay and carpet glued to the chipboard flooring. I never filled them with insulation and didn’t add any ports, back then I didn’t know this was standard practice. I have 4x 18" ported PSA subs up front...

Has Olive films closed down, I never see any new releases from them anymore?

Wonderful news!

Is there anything that stops someone like KL fixing an issue like this from the start? Is it breaking an agreement to make a change that actually is a correct fix? Im not being smart Im just curious? Being an old time and long time projectionist from an error when presentation was KING....If a...

Well the DVD is still available in Dolby Digital and most of us have it. Why couldnt they have taken the Overture, Entracte and playout music from it? Plus the CD and LPs are still available.

Yes and how hard would it have been to add the three in stereo when they are available?

I agree this is very poor!
