    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Alfred Hitchcock: The Masterpiece Collection

    There were even newspaper articles about it. If it can sustain debate for that long, then it’s certainly not the non-issue some people want to make it out to be. Remember that phase a short while ago when people started referring to original mono track as the “original” mono track? It...

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Alfred Hitchcock: The Masterpiece Collection

    It's just a debate, and Mr. Harris is well able to defend his views. I can’t understand why some other members seem to take any criticism of his decisions as if it was a personal insult. I'd much rather spend my time reading posts that dissect the problems with a release than the pervasively...

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Alfred Hitchcock: The Masterpiece Collection

    If it were possible to derive the dialogue from the audio at hand then surely it would be possible to derive the original effects as well. And I hardy think “they probably won’t notice the difference” is an appropriate defence, when we’re talking about one of the greatest films ever made and...

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Alfred Hitchcock: The Masterpiece Collection

    If you really think the 5.1 track is meticulously reconstructed you should really try comparing it with the mono. The sheer amount of important details omitted and pointless additions is truly confusing. Apart from the opening gunshot another laugh-out-loud effect is when Madeline’s car slowly...
