    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Alfred Hitchcock: The Masterpiece Collection

    As pointed out, the only worthwhile loss is the REAR WINDOW script. However(and I said this before, a few pages ago) the stills galleries on some of the new discs seem to have been encoded badly. What is straight black and white on the old disc has ugly "rainbowing" in the pictures and drawings...

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Alfred Hitchcock: The Masterpiece Collection

    Richard, don't let the negative comments put you off! Almost every element of """"Vertigo"""";) gets put through the microscope, and the sound is no exception. When watching the disc a week or so ago, I actually switched from my initial choice of the 5.1 mix to mono. I found that the voices...

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Alfred Hitchcock: The Masterpiece Collection

    I don't remember anyone bringing this up yet... I watched the new Vertigo disc the other night. I'll certainly never watch the old one again. However, when looking again at the Vertigo Archives, I found ugly cross-coloration in the design sketches. I didn't remember seeing those before...
