It would be great if 55 Days in Peking is the same quality as the Circus World BD, which is pretty fantastic. Both are Bronston productions in Technirama.schan1269 said:Those will be welcome. I was looking around this morning for movies not an Blu that would be absolute perfection. I came up with Flesh and The Devil and While Paris Sleeps(is it really lost?)
If they're done properly, they'll be more than welcome. They'll create a small stampede. But ... who the you know what are Rimini? Do they have any track record? Remember, One Eyed Jacks was released on BRD so let's be cautious.schan1269 said:Those will be welcome.
If it's mono and 145 minutes I won't bother.John Hermes said:A few details are up now for 55 Days in Peking:
[*]Audio : Anglais (Dolby Digital 2.0 Mono), Français (Dolby Digital 2.0 Mono)
[*]Sous-titres : Français
[*]Région : Région B/2 (Plus d'informations sur les formats DVD/Blu-ray.)
[*]Rapport de forme : 2.20:1
[*]Nombre de disques : 1
[*]Studio : Filmedia
[*]Date de sortie du DVD : 19 février 2014
[*]Durée : 145 minutes
[/list]
Mono sound? IMDB lists it as 6-track. IMDB also lists the running time as 154 minutes, Maltin 150 minutes. The 2.20:1 ratio would be the Super Technirama 70 one, not the 2.35 of the original Technirama negative. This stuff is not always correct but at least we have some info now. The Circus World BD was scanned from the 2.35 negative and has 2-track stereo audio so I don't know if 55 Days will be up to that standard.
The info on Amazon France now lists an English 5.1 track as well.John Hermes said:A few details are up now for 55 Days in Peking:

In many ways 55 Days is a bad movie, I don't know why I enjoy it so much. I noticed the 5.1 a couple of weeks ago, but it's changed since then, then it was, 5.1 English & French. Now only 5.1 English, & mono & stereo English, & it looks like mono & stereo French...who knows, it could be burnt in subs & interlaced, or a cracker of a disc. The great thing about the net is someone will buy it & report.John Hermes said:The info on Amazon France now lists an English 5.1 track as well.

I realise it's probably not worth the effort, but you're entitled to your money back.John Hermes said:Four For Texas is not a Blu-ray, but a DVD. My order arrived today from Amazon France and I was surprised when I opened the envelope and it was a DVD. I went back to the Amazon France site and looked at my order and it is 4 du Texas (Blu-ray). If you click on that, and go to the description, it is a DVD. They messed that listing up.
I did sent it back and was refunded. It is disappointing, though, that it was incorrectly listed as a Blu-ray. I had given away my old WB DVD in the meantime.Robin9 said:I realise it's probably not worth the effort, but you're entitled to your money back.
