McCrutchy
Second Unit
This film has just been announced as coming from Eureka via the Masters of Cinema line-up. Release date is April 18th:

Obviously, I saw shades of The Quiet Man (though I suspect that Eureka may not be using the Paramount master, particularly as this is an MGM title in the UK) so I went back to take a look at something. According to the BDInfo scans, yes, the Olive release is on two BD-50 discs, but, despite each disc having over 2 1/2 hours of the film, both are only about 30 GB in size, leaving over 19 GB unused on each disc. I don't understand why that was done at all, especially considering that the Olive discs have three lossless (albeit 2.0/1.0 16-bit) soundtracks. There isn't any other content on the Blu-rays, either.
