I'm okay with that, it's when someone decides to artificially sharpen too much that it annoys, this is just how it all came together with the camera and lenses and film stocks of the time, much like Dial M For Murder or Vera Cruz, i can live with it, i look forward to more classic 3D on blu ray...
Yes, those shots are not halo's due to sharpening, note the colour, the shots i refer to look like traditional sharpening to me, still if it's the exception rather than the rule then all is good, as you note it might also be rear projection for the last shot.
An explanation of what you are...
Just wondering something, on viewing the images supplied with the review i note what looks like edge halo's on a few of them, are these just images that have been sharpened for viewing on this review page or do the represent the transfer. ?
It could be the guy in the last image has a projection...
