Home of the Brave, a film with great tech credits behind it (Mark Robson, Carl Foreman, Stanley Kramer, Dimitri Tiomkin, Robert De Grasse) is another unfortunate offering from the halls of Olive.

Overly hard contrast abounds, while the image can be decently resolved.  But what appears to be a very poorly processed fine grain or dupe, brings this release down to public domain level.

Unfortunate.

....It's still likely the best we'll ever get until Paramount decides to to an expensive restoration (or finds better elements). Blu-ray was still worth buying (on sale).

Olive's spotty track record makes me think that their release of Sands of Iwo Jima this November might be a travesty. Most of the big ones I've wanted from them have been at least mediocre (High Noon, The Quiet Man, The Grass is Greener, Invasion of the Body Snatchers)

Then again, I might be wrong. I just haven't had as much luck with this label as I'd like.
