In fairness Koroush, Olive's output was like Gump's chocolates; you never knew what you would get*. Some of their Blu-rays were sublime, albeit with minor, intermittent film artefacts, especially their black and white titles...while others were awash with crud and scratches, or simply transferred from elements too far down the celluloid food chain to reproduce acceptable colour and detail.
I suspect that will be our luck-of-the-draw with these Kino releases too. Some will be just fine, even good to very good, with others merely okay-ish...while a handful (too often the rarest and most eagerly anticipated) will be outright wince-inducing.
Nevertheless, I'm still not willing to write off this series. It's just unfortunate that one of the earliest lightning rods for the [sic] 'Tarzi touch' will be an award-winning classic like Marty.
* Sorry for my lapse in judgment there; I detest that silly platitude. I mean, with a box of chocolates you always know what you're going to get...it has a legend!
