I enjoyed my UK release of Circus World very much. I don't have time to watch bonus material, so I'm very happy with the Anchor Bay release. Next up is 55 Days at Peking.
I agree with Robert completely.Robert Crawford said:I finished watching 55 Days at Peking and I'm glad I bought the UK release over the more expensive French disc. I thought the video and audio presentations were superb and I thoroughly enjoyed my BD viewing experience.
Picture and sound is indeed splendid (both on the UK and French version). I never had the chance to see the film theatrically, despite seeing so many 70mm roadshow attractions, so seeing this Blu-ray was like seeing the film properly for the first time after viewing so many poor TV, VHS and DVD presentations over the years.Robert Crawford said:I finished watching 55 Days at Peking and I'm glad I bought the UK release over the more expensive French disc.

No wonders but something that we also could have gotten for other movies from 8-perf negatives like El Cid, One Eyed Jacks or John Paul Jones and look what we got instead...Doug Bull said:Pinewood have achieved wonders by going back to the original 8 perf Super Technirama 70mm camera negatives.
Perhaps some lessons learned from those prior releases.OliverK said:No wonders but something that we also could have gotten for other movies from 8-perf negatives like El Cid, One Eyed Jacks or John Paul Jones and look what we got instead...
I hope that some will finally learn their lessons, looking at the recent releases of Funny Face and El Dorado Paramount still hasn't.But that is for another thread and I am glad you liked 55 Days - It is a really good disc and shows what can be done on a budget with two movies that are not exactly the top two classic titles of all times.And a big thanks to the guys at Pinewood as they did things right from the start!Robert Crawford said:Perhaps some lessons learned from those prior releases.
Is the UK release of Circus World 134 or 144 minutes? How is the 5.1 sound?Robert Crawford said:I enjoyed my UK release of Circus World very much. I don't have time to watch bonus material, so I'm very happy with the Anchor Bay release. Next up is 55 Days at Peking.
It's 143 minutes plus. It's been almost four months since I viewed it, but I don't recollect the 5.1 sound being an issue.RolandL said:Is the UK release of Circus World 134 or 144 minutes? How is the 5.1 sound?
There is only region A, B and C and discs that play in all regions should have all three regions on the case.Would anyone know if Circus World was ever released on BD in region 0? I know it’s never been released in region 1
