Has anyone else had this happen? I ordered a replacement disc, which arrived yesterday, and it was missing again. This is the Blu-ray, DVD, Digital Code set that went on backorder when the price dropped. Two times now from Amazon on a brand new disc, and it's missing the digital code. I'm...

It is a tragedy, yes. But it's also a crime when the Blu-ray Disc release looks worse than the older DVD release by the same studio.

I decided to buy this at Costco because it was on sale for $10.99. I'm sorry to report that the Blu-ray is a giant step down from the old widescreen Warner DVD release. It's way too dark overall, details are lost and muddy. It's over-saturated and at times looks blotchy, like big globs of paint...

I'm thrilled to report that I threw caution to the wind and shelled out the hefty price tag with shipping for "Picnic," and I got my money's worth. The Blu-ray Disc transfer is outstanding in every way. Lightyears ahead of of the old DVD and any TV airings of the film I've seen. Scratches are at...

I'm sure you can make a case for the color being not to your liking for Gigi and An American in Paris. I mentioned them because they also both have extended night scenes, some on sound stages and some on location, and I can still see the actors and their dark clothes. Lots of rich details in the...

Hmmm ... then how do you account for this, which I mentioned above? I actually got out the old 2-Disc DVD, and I can see more detail in the blacks and shadows there (in SD).

I can't give you a time code just now, but the two scenes that drew my attention (in a bad way) are early on when Gene Kelly is standing on the curb with Cosmo after the first movie premiere (before the autograph seekers attack him), and later when he chases Kathy out of the house after the big...

I want to weigh in here, because I'm really stunned that this Blu-ray Disc has been getting such high praise on the forum. I understand the hurdles the restoration team encountered to get it to look "this good," but shouldn't the reviews reflect the end result and not the arduous process? The...

This is all good to know, and thanks for the feedback. It sounds like I just have a bad disc, and as others have said, it's probably a pressing problem. Since the price for a new Peyton Place DVD isn't too bad, I think I'll go ahead and replace my old one. I sure wish it was coming out on...

Thanks for that thought, but I should have said this is a new PS3 Blu-ray player (about 2 months old). The problem started happening on my old player. It's happening again on the new player, so it's definitely the disc. I don't have playback problems on any other disc (so far). Since other...

I realize this is an old thread, but my Peyton Place DVD is now doing the same thing as others have reported. It freezes up around 2/3 of the way through the movie and then dies. I've tried it a few times, always with the same result. My disc is old, but I bought it brand new when it was first...

If only she had said, "My name is Madge Owens. I'm from Salina, Kansas. Here is my driver's license!" That's very Twilight Zone. Actually, although several scenes were shot in Salina (they also used Halstead and Nickerson as primary locations), William Inge himself was from Independence...

Thanks to all who weighed in about the Screen Archives sales, pricing, selling out, etc. While I think the price tag is a bit much for my pocketbook, Picnic is one of my "must have" titles. I've taken your collective opinion that the quality is well worth it, so I ordered away. A rare...

With Wings landing victoriously on DVD and Blu-ray (coinciding with the perfect timing of Paramount's 100th anniversary and the latest Best Picture frontrunner The Artist, which also happens to be a silent film, creating the prospect of "genre bookends" among the winners), I am unpleasantly...

Thanks, Joe Caps, for that explanation. I'm curious about something that may have been discussed in other threads already. My apologies if it has. The Screen Archives price of $34.95 (before tax) plus $4.35 shipping is steep. Do they ever have sales? Is that a realistic expectation with a title...

I have to say I was very sad and disappointed to discover that the Overture was missing from the Blu-ray Disc release. It would have been so easy to be included. It couldn't have been for any reason other than an unfortunate oversight. I saw this film on Christmas Eve in 1970 in Lawrence...
