It's a special treat to see an RKO logo in HD, no less, HD up-rezzed to 4k
It's even nicer, when the film is of the importance of Edward Dmytryk's Murder, My Sweet, a superb noir drama, starring Dick Powell, Claire Trevor, Anne Shirley and Otto Kruger.
The film is a bona fide classic.
And since the WB Archive Collection is taking second place to no one at this time -- yes, it looks as if it could be a Sony release -- that makes it a must own.
Superb black & white cinematography, that literally glows. Harry J. Wild may not be a name at the tip of everyone's tongue, but his work is superb. He shot additional scenes for both Citizen Kane, as well as The Magnificent Ambersons. His CV is long, and worth checking out.
Blacks are rich and creamy, with superb shadow detail. Grain is perfect. Resolution wonderful.
A great cinema classic, that should be in every serious collection.
Kudos to Warner Archive for another superb release!
