Fox: To the Shores of Tripoli filmed in Technicolor but DVD release in B&W??? (1 Viewer)

Thanks, Dan. I'll check out my copy of Cleopatra and see if mine is missing the exit music.

Received the corrected version of To The Shores of Tripoli today. The color is excellent. The reissued version has a different UPC number from the previously issued version that had no color. The correct UPC is 24543 05307
Thanks to Peter Staddon and Fox for correcting this title.

I also received my copy today and the transfer looks fine. Good job by Fox in correcting this situation.

Just bought this title today(6/18/02) from Best Buy. I got a B & W one. I'll be calling Fox. Was not this title supposed to be recalled? If so, BB didn't return their discs. :frowning:

Jeff,
Too bad you didn't note the UPC code that Larry posted for the correct dvd.

I had not checked this thread in quite a while. I sort of thought that there would not be any B&W ones left out there. No big deal. I'll call & get the replacement. I did notice some other misinformation in regards to the cover. In one place it says the film is full screen & in another in says wide screen.

When I called to get the replacement disc, the operator simply took my name & mailing address. I didn't even need to have the DVD UPC code.

Wasn't the ISBN code so you could tell in the shop if you were looking at the faulty B&W disc or a reissued colour one?

 

[Jeff_HR]

I already had played the first few minutes of the film & determined that it was a faulty B&W disc. I had not checked on this thread in a while so I did not have the new code available, plus I wrongly assumed that the faulty ones had been recalled already.

I received the replacement disc in the mail today. It was in a sealed keepcase. That is a nice touch, better than getting it in a cardboard envelope.Good job Fox! I appreciate the fast replacement & the keepcase packaging.
