There are certain knowns.
The flight of the bumblebees returning to Capistrano each Spring. Flounder making their way up the Hudson to spawn...
and that any new release from Columbia (Sony) will be stellar in quality thanks to the Crisp team.
The new 4k UHD release of two versions of the now fifty year-old Sydney Pollack film, The Way We Were, with Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford in the leads is no exception.
The interesting thing here is the second (extended) version of the film, which runs five minutes longer than the original release. It's basically two extended sequences and a newly released penultimate scene at UCLA. The additions add to Miss Streisand's character, and fall into the political background found in the film, ei the McCarthy hearings, and how they affect the relationship.
From a tech perspective, every frame of this film is perfection. Dolby Vision has been delicately applied, and colors and densities glow.
Of course, this is a 50th Anniversary Edition, which is zero reason to purchase it, but it is emblazoned at the bottom of both the slipcover as well as on the inner packaging. Said slip has a glossy finish, which may look elegant on someone's slipcover display, but I doubt that it will become a collectible.
This is one of the few slipcover enhanced released, for which I recommend a purchase for the contents, as opposed to the generally more important slip.
Image – 5 (Dolby Vision)
Audio – 5 (DTS-HD MA 5.1)
Pass / Fail – Pass
Plays nicely with projectors - Yes
Makes use of and works well in 4k - 7
Upgrade from Blu-ray - Yes
Worth your attention - 10
Slipcover rating - 2
Very Highly Recommended
