    ABBOTT & COSTELLO dvds and "...Meet Captain Kidd" (coming to DVD?)

    Hi Bob! In that case, I'm thinking that when the transfer for the Roan DVD version was made, the tint and/or brightness levels weren't consistent for the first and last Sepia sequences. That last one looks almost Black & White to me! I wholeheartedly agree with you that a 2k digital...

    ABBOTT & COSTELLO dvds and "...Meet Captain Kidd" (coming to DVD?)

    Hi Bob! At the very least, any tinting in the end sequence looks much lighter to my eyes than at the beginning. Do you recall whether you had to draw from different film elements for each? CHEERS! :) Tony

    ABBOTT & COSTELLO dvds and "...Meet Captain Kidd" (coming to DVD?)

    Hi Randy! But THE WIZARD OF OZ opens and closes in Sepia! The supposed Black & White WOZ sequences was perpetuated by the fact that they were presented that way for many years on television before this was eventually corrected. Either way, your explanation doesn't cover the fact that JACK...

    ABBOTT & COSTELLO dvds and "...Meet Captain Kidd" (coming to DVD?)

    Hi Bob! Thanks for the clarification. I'm guessing that JACK AND THE BEANSTALK looks better on the 90's Laserdisc issue. I think you might have also mentioned somewhere that the original film elements for the later sepia sequences were missing, which would explain them being in Black &...

    Here are a few screenshots from the 2011 Roan DVD of JACK AND THE BEANSTALK: Yes, we have sepia! Wow, my right leg is looking blurry, today! Hey, who turned off the sepia? Can anyone pleas kindly tell me how these shots compare with the previous Roan DVD issues from...

    ABBOTT & COSTELLO dvds and "...Meet Captain Kidd" (coming to DVD?)

    Hi Randy! When I get a chance, I'll take a few screenshots from my JACK AND THE BEANSTALK "Roan" DVD-R (From 2011.), as I would really love to get some feedback on how this compares with the previous Roan DVD pressings! Apparently, the Roan AFRICA SCREAMS/JACK AND THE BEANSTALK has undergone...

    ABBOTT & COSTELLO dvds and "...Meet Captain Kidd" (coming to DVD?)

    Hi Richard! ABBOTT & COSTELLO MEET CAPTAIN KIDD, which was released the same year as JACK & THE BEANSTALK, was also filmed in the same Cinecolor process, in which the colors are not as vivid as in the much more expensive 3 Strip Technicolor process, which I believe in the early 1950s, was just...

    ABBOTT & COSTELLO dvds and "...Meet Captain Kidd" (coming to DVD?)

    Hi John! Just this afternoon, I received the above Roan DVD and I must confess that, while the color looks decent overall, I'm a bit disappointed in regards to the pixelation, which becomes apparent when I sit about 6 feet from our 32 inch 720p Flatscreen. I'd hate to see how this would look...
