I've seen shockingly little about this release and that's a shame. Many cineastes will tell you that Man Hunt is second-tier Fritz Lang, to which I say hogwash. Man Hunt is a terrific film and classic Lang. Wonderful cast (especially George Sanders), terrific screenplay by Dudley Nichols and a great score by Alfred Newman.
The transfer is fantastic. I have seen it damned with faint praise elsewhere by those who clearly do not understand what film is, nor what opticals are (yes, including FOG) so we get the usual "it's soft-looking some of the time" as if that were some problem with the transfer. It ain't. Fox did a great job on this and I cannot recommend it highly enough, especially if you're a Lang fan like I am.
