This review is made possible with the help of www.DaaVeeDee.comNotes on my reviews: I do not offer plot summaries in most cases, as these can be found on a million other sites, but rather focus instead on what people want to know: the image and sound presentation, default playback settings, subtitles, audio choices, etc. My equipment: Panasonic TC-P55UT50 Plasma monitor (3-D capable); Panasonic DMP-BDT220 3-D Blu-ray player; LG BD-360 all-region Blu-ray player; Denon AVE-E200 5.1 Surround receiver. All aspect ratios are physically measured on the Panasonic screen, which has been set to eliminate overscan.PRETTY POISON (1968)LABEL: 20th Century FoxCOUNTRY OF ORIGIN: GermanyREGION: All Region confirmed.ASPECT RATIO: 1.85:1C/BW: ColorSOUND: 2.0 MonoBONUS MATERIALS: ZipCHAPTERS: 12Who would have suspected that this nifty but neglected cult title would ever show up as a Blu-ray anywhere? Well, it has, because apparently Europe values our catalog titles more than we do! Check out what is probably Anthony Perkins’ second best role (after Norman Bates) and the never-more-beautiful Tuesday Weld in probably her best. If you’ve not seen this film before, blind-buy it. It’s region-free!!After loading, you have a screen offering the choice of English or German language. Then, you go right into the movie. No distractions. The image is quite revelatory for those who have only seen the Fox domestic DVD. The color is pitch-perfect, including flesh tones. There is what appears to be absolutely accurate film grain. There is no chapter menu, but there are 12 chapter stops. An amazing presentation! And for a (nowadays) little-known cult classic. I’m impressed that this came out at all and that it looks as good as this.Grab this before it goes out of print!This review was made possible with the help of www.DaaVeeDee.com
