Blu-ray Review A Few Words About A few words about…™ It Started in Naples – in Blu-ray (2 Viewers)

[Robert Harris]

As noted in another thread, I was never a fan of It Started in Naples, although I have been of the two leads along with Vittorio De Sica - and if you've not seen him in Rossellini's Generale Della Rovere, please do so. Just steer clear of the Raro Video DVD.

I wanted to pick up a copy of ISiN to see how Paramount had handled the VistaVision cinematography, and it seems generally fine. A couple of very minor instances of light ringing, but nothing that will be noted from a proper seating distance.

Color and densities are attractive, with good blacks and nice shadow detail. It gives me pleasure to report that it's a no problem release.

A nice upgrade on the dvd and Robert can you please tell me what light ringing is? Criterion did release a nice looking dvd of Generale Della Rovere.

Do you think it's taken FROM the VV negative?

Thank you, Mr. Harris, for these few words. I'll now buy this disc.

Can anybody who's got this disc, confirm if its a pressed disc please. I've seen one retailer saying its a BD-R. Thanks

It's a pressed disc with the Blu-ray insignia at the top of the front case and on the Blu-ray disc itself.
