I am endlessly baffled by this label.

C'mon, it's the exact same ancient transfer as the Olive, done ages ago for DVD. It's shameful and no one should buy it. It's a VistaVision picture in gorgeous color. You'd never know it. As to it being a 2K scan - well, that's complete BS and Imprint knows it.

Oh, see - I forgot the damn smiley face. Insert one if you like, since few here don't have a sense of humor :) :) :) I enjoyed his review - I found it odd that he used the HTF template - it made me laugh because - I have this thing called a sense of humor. I do think, given his description of...

What are you, a reviewer all of a sudden? They have reviewers here - if you're going to give your thoughts, maybe don't use their template? Given your description of the transfer, why on earth would you assume that this was 2K or 4K and not some old transfer used for DVD, like many of Imprint's...

They say The Mountain is a new 2K transfer from the CAMERA negative - doubtful - I don't think they know the difference between a camera negative, especially VistaVision negative, and an IP

Yes, I'm in the US.

Are you joking? Your memory fails you, I'm afraid. The IB Tech 35mm prints were fantastic - gorgeous color. The location photography is amazing, by Jean Burgoin, who also did a few other little films like Tati's superb Mon Oncle, Black Orpheus, Welles' Confidential Report, The Longest Day, you...

There is no hope for Barabbas with this transfer.

Yes, I can't imagine any of the Columbia titles will be anything but ancient masters.

I will not be ordering it even thought it's a favorite because I have the feeling this is 1080 transfer is of an ancient DVD master which was simply unacceptable then, let alone now. I'd love to be proven wrong, but I also know the deal with this company.

This is very good news. The film deserves a stellar transfer.

When will people learn about this company. Of course, they're existing masters. They take what's given to them - sometimes they luck out - infrequently - and most times they don't. If these were new transfers, believe me they'd trumpet that fact loud and clear.

Just to be clear what Jack is complaining about: Yes, this is an old DVD transfer. The credits, as happened every now and then with scope films in earlier days, has the long credit sequence window boxed, which they did when the credits were on the sides of the screen, protecting them from the...

Oh, you know I'm tempted to respond, but I shan't :)

We all know what your point is, just as you know what ours is, us "certain posters." :)

So, the answer is to take what's given and be grateful? Is that the answer? Got it. I don't think like that, however, and never will. And anyone who thinks Paramount doesn't have the money to do a new 2K transfer of something, well, c'mon already. They should do it just to have it, for Blu...

Um, I'm specifically talking about Paramount, not other studios. And I can pretty much confirm No Way to Treat a Lady is the same as the DVD with a little clean-up perhaps. Better detail, of course, so that's nice - same exact color and everything else.

We all know where they came from. If they're doing something here they do a new scan for it - if someone overseas licenses some title they send what they have on the shelf, which is what most of Imprints titles are - scans done for DVD, some over a decade old. I just got No Way to Treat a Lady...

Paramount is giving them what they have - no one should be surprised about a transfer being old. Some labels won't accept that and some will. Anyone get No Way to Treat a Lady?
