I have the French blu-ray (under the title "Les Naufrageurs des Mers du Sud") released by Elephant Films. The print is gorgeous (in my opinion); the French subtitles are removable. Highly recommended. (I think the blu-ray is region-free.)
I have a region 4 DVD from Australia, and am very happy with it. The anamorphic image (although it is in the incorrect 2.35:1 aspect ratio) is leagues ahead of the terrible letterboxed domestic release, the sound is good, and it appears to be the full roadshow version, with overture...
I read somewhere that the original release prints were presented in sepia. Ideally (for me at least) the blu-ray would offer both the sepia and the standard black-and-white prints, but I suppose this is unlikely.
Does the Koch Media blu-ray release of "Circus World" include the overture, intermission/entr'acte, and the exit music? (I apologize if this has already been answered in an earlier post.)
I have followed the information regarding the preservation and restoration of “The Alamo” for many years. I do have the roadshow version on LD, have never seen the shorter general release version, but understand that the shorter version has been reproduced in HD. After all is said and done, I...
Can anyone tell me if the Region 2 DVD (or Region B blu-ray) of "Diary of Anne Frank" (the 1959 version with Millie Perkins) includes the overture, intermission, entr'acte music and exit music? The domestic releases omit the intermission and entr'acte (the laserdisc does include these, and I...
I read somewhere that the Fox Movie Channel (which we don't get in Canada, at least not in my viewing area) has televised a print of “Forever Amber” that contains new footage (perhaps the unedited original ending). Does anyone have any more information about this?
Does anyone have the Region 2 edition oh "The Hallelujah Trail", and can you tell me if DVD is anamorphically enhanced (the Region 1 DVD isn't), and if it includes overture, entr'acte, and exit music?
According to Amazon.fr the 1948 Ingrid Bergman of "Joan of Arc" is to be released on blu-ray on February 2, courtesy of Showshank Films. The blu-ray is to include both the original 145-minute and the cut 100-minute versions. Does anyone know any more about this, or about the quality of...
I never thought I would see the day! Like many others I have seen the 4-hour version, but Kevin Brownlow's 5+ hours restoration in blu-ray will be a real treat!
Has anyone viewed the German blu-ray edition of "It Happened One Night" (supposedly produced from a 4K scan)? If so, can you tell me what the quality is like? I know that a domestic blu-ray is available from Criterion - they do good work but are so expensive (at least in Canada). (I apologize...
I second this! Of course I would love a pristine HD transfer of the roadshow version of “Raintree County”, but compatible elements may no longer exist. I would be very happy to see the general release in HD, with the roadshow in SD (even as a letterboxed print within a 4:3 frame, if an...
Just received the blu-ray of "For Whom the Bell Tolls." I didn't have the chance to sit down and watch the roadshow version in full, but I did watch some selected scenes to check picture quality. It is, to say the least, jaw-droppingly beautiful. The roadshow version also includes overture...
