Just watched French Blu Ray Of Tender Is The Night.
Absolutely gorgeous! GORGEOUS!
If only all restorations looked this beautiful!
Beloved Infidel is good, though after watching Tender, it’s only 3.5* not the 5* Trnder easily earns.

Go multi-zone. Several of those titles are available on Blu-ray disc in Europe.

The Man Who Never Was has had a Blu Ray release in Britain but it’s not very good quality. Pity as it’s a movie I love. The Sun Also Rises i also have. U.K. release. Pretty good transfer.

Twilight Time release of The River’s Edge. Good colour, clean print, lovely quality. One of Anthony Quinn’s better performances too.
But HOW DARE THEY CUT OFF THE FOX CINEMASCOPE IDENT?
Why was this done?

I just bought the digital streaming version of the 1939 film The Rains Came from Amazon for $10—and I regret it. Watching it was a grim experience—and not just because of the disaster and deaths in the film. The print itself is sometimes scratched, speckled, warped, etc. The Rains Came could use a restoration, but now that Disney owns Fox I'm wondering if it will ever happen....
I bought the HD digital stream from iTunes last September for $4.99. I watched it yesterday and didn't think it looked that badly.

Hmmm. I wonder if iTunes has a restored version of The Rains Came? But for whatever reason Amazon doesn't. I would grade the PQ quality about a "C" for the Amazon version.

Amazon is my least favorite service PQ-wise. I think both, iTunes and Vudu are superior in that regard.

Twilight Time's FB page indicates "...look for more intriguing Peck TT releases later this year."

The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit?
