    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Blood and Sand (1922)- in Blu-ray

    My vote is for Garbo's final Silent The Kiss (1929 MGM) with its amazing Art Deco interiors, and where she's at the height of her considerable powers before being forced to master English.

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Doctor Cyclops & Cobra Woman - in Blu-ray

    Does anyone know if this is the same transfer of Cobra Woman that was used in the German Blu-ray? Which I own, and which looks fine. Note also that there is a UK Blu of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves (1944 Universal) which I purchased several years ago, and think looks fantastic. As usual, I'm...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Summer Stock - in Blu-ray

    I've always wondered what the fate was of MGM's 3-strip Technicolor OCNs; no idea if they were more likely to take any care of them. Presumably its all over the place <_<

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Trigger, Jr. -- in Blu-ray

    The screen-caps posted on bluray.com look just amazing considering this process, although not surprisingly you can see the registration struggling a bit in some shots. Its really startling sometimes to see what's always been there slumbering on the OCN (or close to), waiting to be revealed...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Dietrich & von Sternberg in Hollywood -- in Blu-ray

    This is going to be fun! I've seen 35mm prints of all of these many times decades ago, and own the recent Euro-Blu of Blonde Venus which is my personal fave. People who have never seen The Devil is a Woman (Dietrich's favorite) are going to be REALLY surprised -- its delirious stylized look was...

    Does anyone know if Disney goes back to digital scans of the original SE camera negatives for these titles (thus making them equivalent to a 3-strip Technicolor OCN restoration)?

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Aspect Ratios

    Speaking of which - in 1955 when Disney made the major decision to switch Lady and the Tramp to a CinemaScope release, did they also switch to using an anamorphic lens in the multi-plane camera? Or did they trim the standard full-frame version down to a wide-screen ratio? My understanding is...

    Still panting for a Blu of A Summer Place (1959 Warner). Love Constance Ford's leave-no-scenery-unchewed turn as the evil step-mother. "Are you bad Johnny? Have you been bad with girls?"

    Wow this is great - has long been on my Blu wish-list. A fun, popular, and influential film in its time; although I think that the section with Barbara Nichols kind of drags - "What lungs!". A favorite snarky hipster review of a revival theater showing described it as "contains all the...
