If I‘d only watched criticcally appraised and/or Oscar movies my movie life would be poor for it. I find good qualities in lots of movies both good and ‘’bad‘’. There are lots of great and good movies outside of the critically lauded ones. Jacques Tourneur didn’t win a single Oscar, but he...

I own almost all the Elvis movies (I want Loving You and in HD). This is not one of his best, but it‘s quite enjoyable. Plus it has Shelley Fabares :) I’ll order it for sure.

Another Tourneur movie on Blu-ray is great news! I collect his movies. Joel McCrea is one of my favourite actors. I own the dvd, but would gladly upgrade this excellent western to Blu. And Vera Miles too. That’s a plus.

I don’t love grain. I love movies. I hate the scrubbing of grain to the point where people look waxy. I watched TNOTH twice in a cinema in Oslo ca. 2003. I don’t remember the film format, but it was not in 2.35:1 and it looked fantastic. I can’t remember how it sounded, but I had no complaints...

I saw on Amazon.co.uk that they‘ve started releasing them in the UK.

My favourite movies are not the ones I watch the most. Some of them I don‘t want to spoil by overwatching. Years go by before watching a fav. It keeps them kinda fresh. The light entertainment movies tend to be the ones I watch over and over. Here‘s some light ones which come to mind: All...

I got the German Congo Crossing (1956) Blu a while ago. I think the transfer looked great on my 42 inch LCD TV. It was shot in Technicolor, but the colors looked a bit muted from what I can remember. Nothing that hindered my enjoyment, though. Was it a Superscope movie? Edit: According to...

I‘m looking forward to this Blu-ray set: From Hollywood to Heaven: The Lost and Saved Films of the Ormond Family (1956-1984) I‘m a collection of Country music & related movies. The Ormond family was Nashville based and country music personalities were in several of their movies. I own a...

I bought the german Blu from Universal / Black Hill Pictures GMBH / WVG Medien GMBH (which I posted a picture of a bit further up.) It's the same overly DNR'ed transfer mentioned earlier. When will this be done right on Blu?

I watched the movie tonight and the cropping looked a bit tight in the upper portion of the image during close ups. The color red was a on the hot side of the spectrum, but it wasn't bothersome. It may be Tourneur's weakest western, but it's still a very good movie. I find Robert Stack's...

It's always good to see a Jacques Tourneur movie on DVD, even better on Blu-ray! I've waited for a proper release of this film, in Superscope, for many years. I got it today and sampled the opening. So far it looks great :) I've "always" enjoyed Virginia Mayo, it's a pity her screen time is...

And what about the campy action drama Jet Pilot (1950/1957) in it's original academy ratio?

Could someone, please, post a picture of the right Technicolor color compared to the wrong "Footsteps" color?

This a favourite melodrama movie of mine! This is great! It's a fav Robert Mitchum film. He's great in it! I'm very happy with this announcement and will buy it for sure!

+ If you have a player which upscales the picture it gets sharper on the TV screen.

I had to order a grey market copy of Cruisin' Down the RIver (1953). It's an obscure Dick Haymes musical, one of his last. His singing is at his best in the movie. It was one of the movie jobs which his girfriend Rita Hayworth got for him. The director was Richard Quine who has gotten more...

I'd like to have Roustabout and Girl Happy on Blu. And Loving You of course. :) And King Creole and... These are the four movies of the ones left that I'd like to have on Blu. The rest of them I'm content with viewing on DVD.

I think you you're right about Fontaine. I've seen quite a few of her movies and I find her constant heightening of an eyebrow distracting. :) I read that there's not much left of the Cain book in the movie. But Lanza demanded the filming of it under his new contract with Warner. He had asked...

I don't know about those titles, but I watched the Mario Lanza movie Serenade (1956) tonight. The back of the case gives the aspect ratio as 1.85:1 but what I saw on my TV screen was in 1.77:1, it filled the wide screen. Judging from this DVD release it's a widescreen movie in no particular...

I watched the german Blu-ray of Apache (1954) (Massai) tonight. It looks very colorful. It could've been sharper but it's no Cinemascope or Panavision movie. It says it's in 1.85:1 on the back. With no overscan on my TV it looks more like 1.75:1 with narrow black bars on the sides. That's to...

I watched a german DVD release of the movie Woman They Almost Lynched (1953) (Am Tode vorbei). It was an enjoyable and well made western directed by Allan Dwan. The B/W print looked very nice. There was a few scratches here and there, but rarely. It's No. 3 in a DVD series called "Western...

I'm in for The Wind. I saw it during film studies and it's a great classic. Admittedly I don't remember much about it. Just some atmospheric scenes in a cabin and a winter storm, Lillian Gish and a villain wearing a black coat and a black hat (?). I own one silent, which came with the Ten...

I'm sorry, but I read that the picture of Twilight Times release was a bit degrained (DNR). I'm happy to be proven wrong in this. The screen caps from Movieman's Guide to the Movies look great (escpecially so with Joan in them :) : Source URL...

I'd love to have a release of The Shepherd of the Hills (1941). I know, it was released on Blu in France in 2017, but the caps I've seen don't look particularly impressive. I refer to this comparison: https://www.westernmovies.fr/dvd/testdvd-848-prisonnierdelahaine.html The transfer looks too...

Anyway, there's hope this one features better PQ compared to the Twilight Time.

The 68 Comeback Special won't gain much from a HD rendering. It was shot on video 480p and Blu-ray can't improve on this in any notable way. No one has mentioned that Kid Galahad is coming to Blu-ray in Germany...

Apache (1954) I've ordered this Blu-ray. I believe this was shot for projection in the 1.37:1 ratio. The Blu contains two versions: 1.33:1 & 16:9 This comparison shows that the academy version looks almost exactly like the UK DVD...

Hi, Ron! Like you I bought the Jim Reeves 16 CD set back in 1995. It was released in 1994. I listened to it for years, Then I read that some recordings on that set has been sped up to fit as much as they could on the CDs. Getting familiar with Mr. Reeves on LP records and singles I found that...

The Blu-ray.com entry says 1.66:1 for Footsteps in the Fog, which sounds right to me. http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Footsteps-in-the-Fog-Blu-ray/204674/
