"Northwest Passage" was an abysmal transfer too, albeit released in 2011. Not sure if it was a dated master or not. The thing that's for sure is that the source print was a poorly manufactured composite of the 3-strip Technicolor masters with registration problems galore and crackly...

Are there any specific markings (numbers, letters, codes, etc. on the discs or packaging which would indicate if they were in the afflicted batch of discs? I'm specifically talking about Bigger than Life and Seven Samurai.

For those who own this disc, I'm curious as to whether or not both the stereo and 5.1 audio tracks are based on the original 4-track mix. A reviewer on another site said that the 2.0 track was mono, but I'm not exactly trusting of them. If the audio isn't based on the original stereo, I might...

When did you purchase your copies of Seven Samurai and Bigger than Life? Also, how do I know if my copies are from the afflicted pressing or a later pressing without problems?

Same here. For me, Mr. Robert A. Harris will have to sign off on a reissued Spartacus before I even consider buying it.

Bigger than Life is affected too? Damnit! Anyone had their copy of Seven Samurai bronze? Neither of these have posed problems for me as of yet, and I bought them both from Barnes and Noble in late 2012. Are these from the first pressing?

That's exactly what happened to me. My question as to why the line stopped this year still hasn't been answered. Maybe it was due to quality control issues like The King and I or perhaps because Fox supposedly laid off a number of home video staff. I doubt this question will ever get an exact...

I thought that Fox had given up on their Studio Classics line! To say I'm shocked and excited is a huge understatement! I second the motion for Captain from Castile and Nightmare Alley!

Nice to hear of a non-disaster Technicolor release from FCA. If I might ask though, how problematic is color fringing? That's a hallmark of Fox Technicolor titles not given proper restorative care.

I didn't see anything either, but perhaps he was contractually bound not to say anything.

I guess if Shout says that they now have it, they have it. Also, old information that is no longer accurate may have been deleted to avoid causing confusion.

I'm just another Joe Blow on the internet who really doesn't know anything compared to you, so do feel free to correct me. What I prefer color-wise is for the film to be as close to the original look as possible. If that's what the BD of The Blue Max is, then I am satisfied. I'm not one of...

This is better than anything I could have dreamed!

It's called The *Blue* Max, isn't it? [cue rimshot] I'm not sure it's entirely fair to compare an iTunes upload to a BD. I'm perfectly happy with the BD of The Blue Max. I'd like to see more questions about whether or not Fox is going to continue releasing catalog than arguments over brown vs...

Does Crocodile Dundee work in this thread for the giveaway?

Welcome to the forum, Michael! :welcome:

House of Wax (1953) for sure!

Olive's spotty track record makes me think that their release of Sands of Iwo Jima this November might be a travesty. Most of the big ones I've wanted from them have been at least mediocre (High Noon, The Quiet Man, The Grass is Greener, Invasion of the Body Snatchers) Then again, I might be...

...and I'll add a fourth!

High Noon will always be the best IMO. The title songs for The Hunters, Sink the Bismarck!, and The Comancheros make the one used in The Man from Laramie sound like high art. Note, however, that those three title songs did not appear in the final cuts of their respective films, but did appear in...

At last! Day one buy! I've been waiting so long for this John Wayne classic to get it's due!

Mr. Furmanek's endless reservoir of knowledge saves the day again! Thank you, sir!

Has it been confirmed that Twilight Time has hold of this? Or is it just speculation?

So the PC idiocy of society may have leeched into MGM? I hope to God not. Preservation is the ultimate goal. Absolutely nothing should stand in the way of that. I am boycotting all MGM products (home video, theatrical, etc.) unless a restoration on The Alamo is allowed to procede. I can't...

So *that's* what we've all been waiting for for all this time! This is the best news I've heard this week! Yaaaaayyyyy!!! :banana:

I'm so psyched for this release! I'm not thrilled, however, that Twilight Time opted for 5.1 as opposed to 4.0 audio, when both foreign releases provided that option.

Done! Keep trying 'till the very end is right! We must not rest! All that will stop us will be the total destruction of the film or the total restoration of the film! Onwards!

So they've acquired uncensored elements from either collectors or film archives?

The fact that Vault is being presented uncut is enough incentive. The fact that we're getting a double feature is even better. I don't need gore to be satisfied, but if this is the first time the film has been available uncensored, that's a huge milestone. I hope we'll be seeing some British...
