If that presentation took place in my home, I assure you I’d be singing with the castrati!

No. That’s a very good size for a panel. A quality 4k disc can be projected on a theater screen and hold quality. I’ve run discs at 37 feet wide and the image holds.

Mr. Smith did a masterful piece of work with this, armed with a bit of alien layer info. A true gentleman.

No idea. Presume it’s owned by Paramount along with the other FitzPatrick shorts. There were about half a dozen shot in the process. ”As we bid a fond farewell to the glorious isle of Pago Pago…”

Welcome to HTF! And thank you for your support of Mr. Willis’ work.

He means well.

Probably not. Projected on a large screen would be another matter. I'd love to see a 4k release.

My date of 2008 was approx. The new 4k is a wonderful release. The Blu, however, as also superb. 4k shows improvements, but I’ll repeat, most noticeable on larger panels and projection, especially if one is seated at a normal distance, as that distance equalizes the improvements.

As is her book.

I don't believe so. More simply being who I am, and seeking perfection toward saving and reproducing our film heritage. I'm not alone in this mindset.

I may be knit-picking, but I’m unhappy with black levels, which should be more natural and open. I’m also seeing some differentiation in grain structure. For example, a large area may have normal grain, but skin areas will be virtually grainless. Keep in mind that the element has dye fade, and...

The G Rating has recently been removed from the streaming version of MFL.

It’s my take on cancel culture. I’m a new believer that every single film, can be cancelled, based upon current outlooks and perspectives. Up next, Alice in Wonderland, from multiple perspectives, but generally children and drugs.

At 86", you should see a difference, as long as you're seated close.

It’s an odd amalgam of discs. The new 4k, along with (as I recall) the same quality commentary, found on the Blu-rays, along with the redundant Blu-rays. If the 1923 Blu had been included, it would have been a wonderful package. As it is, anyone who desired to own the film, already has the...

In my experience, I did not find 10C protected for 1.66. And please keep in mind, I’m referring not to projection, which is meaningless, but extraction from the 35/8 element. The frame may have been protected more towards 1.75.

The matte lines were dealt with for the Blu, and look fine.

In projection, and on a large screen, the advantages of 4k should come to the fore.

I viewed the 4k vs the BD in the 4k set vs the old BD. All appear to be the same base element, which is normal.

That’s One.

Updated 4/2/21 Cecil B. DeMille's second epic consideration of that trek across the desert, and all the surrounding hoopla has made it to 4k, with its VistaVision look intact. The new release appears to be derived from the same restorative efforts performed c. 2008, and while 4k does add some...
