Because of the lack of (original) burned-in-subs, is it possible too watch w/o "any" subs at all? Thanks. B.S. I always like to watch movies w/o any subs. Especially after seeing the film a few times. If the lead character doesn't speak German, yet others are speaking German, I like that...
"HDD" may be wrong about the 'true look'. The director, cinematographer, & restorer may be right about the 'true look'. Just too exposes my faulty three decades plus memory; I didn't think the early US scenes were "yellowish tint--period look", I remember the Italian scenes were sun-washed...
Patrick, Who knows who's gonna like it or not. If some people never get "TG", so be it. No film is appreciated by "everyone"! ;-) I've never seen the 4hr "Napoleon"; talk about "EPIC"!!! :-0 And yes I agree; having these 'classics' released on BD allows for more & more people to "truly enjoy"...
Would these all so be some of the sences added too make up "The Godfather: A Novel for Television"? That's what "I" always wanted on home video (& now HD).

No. Using "representative surviving prints" that are in need of restoration would not be "representative" of the original intent (IMO; hence my post). I do agree it is a great blessing to have the dye transfer print of "TG: Part I". W/techinicolor they kept resources that would give them a...
If the source is in such bad shape it has to be restored, what is used for a reference, memory? EDitEDbyED: Got my answer for this: "Can it be stated "no" DNR was used?" Thanks, RAH!
They all so have the old SD DVD at 1.85:1 DVD Empire - Item - Godfather, The / DVD-Video Where as, Beaver (and others) have the SD DVD at 1.78:1: "The Godfather" Paramount Region 1 NTSC vs Region 2 PAL "In Beaver I Believe"
Aspect Ratio? Is this going too bee another home video widescreen (1.78:1) release? (ala VHS, LD, & DVD) Or, will it be the first home video OAR (1.85:1) release? Thanks. Check this site out for color (as well as full frame vs. widescreen) variation: The Godfather - Widescreen vs...
