International RYAN'S DAUGHTER on BLU! (1 Viewer)

JPCinema · Apr 23, 2015

Jetlagged and walking into El Corte Ingles in Madrid, I could not believe my eyes...There was one of my holy grail films to be on Blu Ray!!

Hopefully it is a harbinger of a US release soon!!!

I will watch the disc upon my return in New York tomorrow.

You're a brave man! Or should that be headstrong? Didn't you recently take a big hit on a Spanish Blu-ray disc of High Society?

Please give us your report as soon as possible.

Aspect ratio is 2.20 and the sound is 5.1....in English

And the quality? Seriously - be real here before anyone goes to the trouble of ordering.

You're a good man, Ken.

Weird that a legit Blu wouldn't have MGM or Warner logos, plus only lossy sound. I wonder if it's an illegitimate rip from Warner's Instant Archive HD streaming version, which was Dolby Digital 5.1 and 2.20 aspect ratio.

Watching the film now. It looks great...yes similar to the HDX VUDU streaming version I purchased last year.

Bought 2 copies...12 euros each......that $13. Worth the purchase for me.

Where HIGH SOCIETY and HOW TO STEAL A MILLION were travesties........RYAN's DAUGHTER is not.

WB step up to the plate and show me a Blu Ray that is better.

Took a photo with my IPhone 6 of the Blu on my 60" screen. The brownish color to the right is the reflection of an overhead light that was on....There is not a blemish in the actual Blu.

Robert Harris says it's a bootleg:

Also see his immediately-following post.

I am glad Mr Harris clarified that....but , nevertheless, as I fear RD will never be given a Blu Ray release....I am glad I have it and it was nevertheless wonderful to watch again.

I haven't bought a Warner Archive Blu-Ray yet that I didn't think was really excellent, but I'm a fan and collector. Warner Archive has been issuing really excellent Blu-Rays slowly and idiosyncratically. If they're only going to put out really excellent Blu-Rays one or two at a time seemingly at random, why not make that a plus by selecting titles guaranteed to impress, and making a huge fuss about each really excellent one of them? The quality of the picture and sound on these Blu-Rays is never at question, but they'll be issuing a really excellent "Thank Your Lucky Stars" Blu-Ray without fanfare when they could be knocking everybody out by issuing a really excellent "Ryan's Daughter" Blu-Ray (or "Around The World In 80 Days", or "Local Hero", or name your favourite gorgeous Warner Bros. movie not on Blu-Ray) and crowing "LOOK WHAT WE CAN DO!" about it.

Just finished watching the bluray All I can say is WOW! There is no doubt in my mind that this was from 70MM elements..

Ed Lachmann · May 13, 2015

Well, this is an awful thing to say, I know, but if this is the ONLY way to get our "holy grails" on a BD disc, I'd probably go for it. Obviously, one cannot burn a BD-R from these VUDU "purchases", which is sad for those of us who want a physical disc rather than something on a hard drive. Speaking of holy grails, VUDU also has HD versions of mine, including The Story of Ruth, Auntie Mame, Julius Caesar (53), Freaks and Lady in a Cage (where's Olive on this one). Some good stuff that it seems we'll never see in official blu-ray form.

Ernest · May 14, 2015

It maybe a bootleg but it sure is very high quality.

JPCinema · May 15, 2015

Yes...very high quality...and the sound is excellent.
