I've put off on buying this Blu-ray, but reading RAH's observations have helped me feel better about maybe going ahead and buying it.
But there are some things I'm not sure of ...
Recently, William Friedkin made a choice to change the color scheme and "old stock look" (for lack of a better description) of his THE FRENCH CONNECTION. Would I be right in saying it's a film from generally the same vintage and stock as BUTCH CASSIDY, yet it was able to be "enhanced"? Would I be mistaken in thinking that the same could be done for BUTCH CASSIDY?
It's just that I seem to recall RAH approving the "new look" to THE FRENCH CONNECTION. Myself, I have never seen THE FRENCH CONNECTION in its entirety but would like to.. so in that case I may not realize what I am "missing" so far as the gritty vintage '70s look of the movie is concerned. On the other hand, I know BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID very well. I did see it in the theater when it was re-released in the early '70s. I loved it but can't recall specifically what it looked like on the theatre screen.
