If I‘d only watched criticcally appraised and/or Oscar movies my movie life would be poor for it. I find good qualities in lots of movies both good and ‘’bad‘’. There are lots of great and good movies outside of the critically lauded ones. Jacques Tourneur didn’t win a single Oscar, but he...

I own almost all the Elvis movies (I want Loving You and in HD). This is not one of his best, but it‘s quite enjoyable. Plus it has Shelley Fabares :) I’ll order it for sure.

Another Tourneur movie on Blu-ray is great news! I collect his movies. Joel McCrea is one of my favourite actors. I own the dvd, but would gladly upgrade this excellent western to Blu. And Vera Miles too. That’s a plus.

I don’t love grain. I love movies. I hate the scrubbing of grain to the point where people look waxy. I watched TNOTH twice in a cinema in Oslo ca. 2003. I don’t remember the film format, but it was not in 2.35:1 and it looked fantastic. I can’t remember how it sounded, but I had no complaints...

I saw on Amazon.co.uk that they‘ve started releasing them in the UK.

My favourite movies are not the ones I watch the most. Some of them I don‘t want to spoil by overwatching. Years go by before watching a fav. It keeps them kinda fresh. The light entertainment movies tend to be the ones I watch over and over. Here‘s some light ones which come to mind: All...

I got the German Congo Crossing (1956) Blu a while ago. I think the transfer looked great on my 42 inch LCD TV. It was shot in Technicolor, but the colors looked a bit muted from what I can remember. Nothing that hindered my enjoyment, though. Was it a Superscope movie? Edit: According to...

I‘m looking forward to this Blu-ray set: From Hollywood to Heaven: The Lost and Saved Films of the Ormond Family (1956-1984) I‘m a collection of Country music & related movies. The Ormond family was Nashville based and country music personalities were in several of their movies. I own a...

I bought the german Blu from Universal / Black Hill Pictures GMBH / WVG Medien GMBH (which I posted a picture of a bit further up.) It's the same overly DNR'ed transfer mentioned earlier. When will this be done right on Blu?

I watched the movie tonight and the cropping looked a bit tight in the upper portion of the image during close ups. The color red was a on the hot side of the spectrum, but it wasn't bothersome. It may be Tourneur's weakest western, but it's still a very good movie. I find Robert Stack's...

It's always good to see a Jacques Tourneur movie on DVD, even better on Blu-ray! I've waited for a proper release of this film, in Superscope, for many years. I got it today and sampled the opening. So far it looks great :) I've "always" enjoyed Virginia Mayo, it's a pity her screen time is...

And what about the campy action drama Jet Pilot (1950/1957) in it's original academy ratio?

Could someone, please, post a picture of the right Technicolor color compared to the wrong "Footsteps" color?

This a favourite melodrama movie of mine! This is great! It's a fav Robert Mitchum film. He's great in it! I'm very happy with this announcement and will buy it for sure!
