Several times over the years, Warner Archive has been asked about the release of the 1954 scope film, King Richard and the Crusaders.
We were told we had to wait for some restoration work.
Even if the work is done, that does not mean that the person transferring the film from film to tape will do a good job.
This film was previously on VHS from around the late eighties or early nineties.
I have it. It is pan/scan and stereo. the Credits are widescreen.
The film has pretty good color and is razor sharp.
Not so the Warner Archive DVD. Not once in the entire running time does it ever look truly in focus.
Very dissapointing.
Nic extra is the original trailer, which I have never seen before. IT is in focus. What a difference that makes !!!!!
